Lily

Ok. This is the 3rd upload of this track. One day, maybe, i might be happy with it.... It seems doubtful though.

Inspired by The Little Unsaid's 'A Filthy Hunger' and Radiohead's 'Codex'.

Pink & Still

Studio based ambient, experimental folktronica band Fabrikotion released their first EP at the end of November. The 5 track, short album is a cinematic epic; expect sleazy dramatics and material electronics. The route is progressive and constant and takes the listener through many sonic environments whilst remaining within a style of folk poetry experimentalism. This is track 4 from the EP.

Row - Fabrikotion

I wrote it on my way home from a band practice with Ben Wallbanks.  I gave my self 1 take per instrument when recording - like Wallbanks' Radiohead album.

"Massive piece of music by Sam - S.A.M.H. Nomad. He sent that into the uploader, really good. There's a new EP and it's called Migration Patterns. 12th December. Go to samh.bandcamp.com to get all the details. It's a 5 track, so definitely worth getting your hands on. Everything the've sent us in the past has been good, I think we've played everything they've sent us. That new one there, that's Nomad." - Alan Raw, BBC Radio Leeds

Sometimes this town
Sometimes this room
Is a drive through the hills or a moment to ourselves
But tonight we're gonna roam
And be there
We'll see you before you go
Coz the hills are staying put and we know each other well
Well there's an energy inside
That will not get out
It burns all day and it burns all night
This dancing flame
Is a restless sleep
That's telling us something we cannot explain

The horns they blow, they call us in.  We needn't know the name or direction.  It drags us in.

Moments in the gaps, space in everything
It drags us in
And the loving, knocking taps
A kiss from the downdraft
It drags us in

Had a completely free Saturday today - no work, nothing much to do, no responsibility, nothing.... So I thought I'd make a new track from scratch.  Fun.  It was fun.  I hope you enjoy.  

Keeping Waves

Both Muhammad Ali and Prince Buster died in 2016.  Separately they both had a huge influence on popular culture - equally remarkable showmen and incredibly skilled artists, in different forms.  'Ali Shuffle' was Prince Buster's 1967 tribute to the great Muslim activist and his unique boxing style.  In this cover I have mimicked the rhythm and some of the instrumentation but added soundbite samples from Muhammad Ali.  Thank you to Paul Huxtable for introducing me to 'Ali Shuffle', a hypnotising piece of music.
