Well-known East-End tough guy Phil Mitchell burns down The Vic while a blatant Meshuggah rip-off act provide the soundtrack. Let's see how you Phil when it burns....to the ground.

Phil Mitchell Burns Down The Vic (Meshuggah Rip-off)

This one was a new experiment with throwing away the more conventional approach to harmony I normally use. My old Uni teacher calls this kind of harmony 'Post-tonal'....yeah okay, makes me sound smart.

Creep Riffs (Just guitar, unfinished rough arrangement)

Wrote this one in Summer 2015 and it's about as summery as I get. It's just the one section for now but I think it's a keeper.

Fresh Colombian Wholebean Instant Groove

Not much to say here...I actually really like this one, which is rare with your own music. You're often sick to death of hearing it after shuffling around arrangements 50 different ways and changing one tiny bit again and again just to make a transition smooth. 

Benzopiate

NBNMOD stands for note-by-note modulation. I was amazed at how jazz musicians modulated and wondered what theory they used to determine how and where they modulated / changed key. I couldn't find any literature on the subject and figured it was more of a thing you felt rather than calculated. Still clueless, I came up with the idea of changing the scale one note at a time each time I modulated to make the transitions between keys smooth.

Maladaptive Panacea

This is a piece of shit really, I don't even know how to make dance music but to be fair, he is a bloody good rep.

Chris Finch: Bloody Good Rep

Another joke track I wrote; the title sums it up. Ended up being another Meshuggah rip-off with some generic chug and beatdown for good measure. Come for the riffs, stay for the T-1000 binary solo.

It begs the question: maybe Meshuggah are Terminators? Sent back from the future to save the human race? 

We may never know....

If Terminators Wrote Metal...

An interlude I wrote recently that'll be a nice little break in the middle of my album - when I finish writing the last few tunes.

It came out of an experiment with the 6th mode of Hungarian Minor, and then I noticed how similar it is to a Lydian #2 scale, so the happier second part weaves in and out of regular Lydian and Lydian #2 and then returns smoothly to Hungarian Minor at the end.
