Name: Ernst Waltz by connon-macrae
Duration: 4 min 31 s
Description: Re-recording of a Soundtrack for Ernst Fischer's piece at Middlesex Uni in the 90's. Originally with Rob Alvis. Mostly an experiment for the synth pedal.

And there's a boiling sea
That's deep inside of me
You're safe on the shore
While I'm keeping score
So many things that I went to say
But the waves pushed them out to another day
I'm beached on your frown
While the future sinks down

I fear the loss of the Northern Star
And never getting back to where you are
I make sure you don't see
All the anguish in me
Help me fight this fade to black
And be the light that guides me back
Safely to shore
Back to your door.

I'm just trying to get home
(to where I want to be, to who I want to be)
I'm just trying to get home
(so take the time to see, a better life for you and me)

And I'm trying to get home
And I'm trying to get home
And I'm trying to get home
And I'm trying to get home

And there's a boiling sea that's deep inside of me
And there's a boiling sea that's deep inside of me
And there's a boiling sea that's deep inside of me
And there's a boiling sea that's deep inside of me
(just wanna go home)
And there's a boiling sea that's deep inside of me
(just wanna go home)
And there's a boiling sea that's deep inside of me
(just wanna go home)
And there's a boiling sea that's deep inside of me
(just wanna go home)

Northern Star

Upbeat afrocentric track showcasing the sounds from the Niger Delta area of Nigeria.

Language is Kalabari and the style of music is Highlife music.

Tamuno Bo ft Sensational Bamidele

Sons & Daughters

A paganist take on a classic reinvented Martin Carthy and stolen by Simon and Garfunkel. 
A Dark brooding instrumental version ……light the black candles , incense up 
Invoke the magic.

Scarborough Fayre

This is the first track from a forthcoming EP 'The Fragile Brain', in celebration of my Father who died from vascular dementia in April this year.

This track was inspired by my time sitting by his hospital bed in the days before he died. He was very peaceful and in no pain and looked more like he was in a deep sleep.

It features a Gretsch Resonator guitar that I bought whilst staying near the hospital and also features midi-flute.

Keeping Watch

Fade Into You - Mazzy Star (cover)

An electronic nod to some of the tracks I was listening to in the nineties.

Melting Point

The audio for this came from 'Piano & Organ Playing Made Easy' by Mr. David Sirkin. It was a 7" record I found when clearing out my uncle's house. I'm assuming that it belonged to my Grandfather who was a keen organ player; maybe even thanks to this record. There is no sleeve and no date on this and a search brings nothing helpful up but I would guess it's from the 1950s or 1960s.

The rhythm of the voice suggested the tempo and given that it was badly scratched I was thankful to find a software plug in which removed most of the bad crackle and clicks.

I edited the audio and am playing, keyboards, bass and darbuka.

No Musical Talent

I was staying in an Airbnb over Christmas and they had a piano. I was improvising one morning and recorded the basis of this track. Back home I edited the recording and added the synth-washes, a clavinet and a guitar part at the end.

Reykjavik Lullaby

Here is a clip of our song Rainbow.  This track was written by Kirsty Hawkshaw and Rebecca Rainsford and recorded using Harp, Metallophone, percussion, and voice.  We hired a studio space for all of our recordings for 4 months to make this album and set up all our instruments. This song can be purchased as part of a signed limited addition mini-album of 6 vocal tracks and 6 instrumentals at:. 

lyrics

pitter patter raindrops
pitter patter rain
pitter patter raindrops

here comes the sunshine
sunshine and watercolours
make a rainbow over head

rainbows are sunshine and laughter
and watercolours
your smile is like an upside down rainbow to me

round:
rainbow overhead
orange and red
purple green and blue
pulls the clouds through

words by Rebecca Rainsford

(some of this song includes an old round which we have incoorperated into the song)
