One late lonely evening, a decade ago I plugged in, got a bit rhythmic and smoothed my idea out with some ambient spacious guitars. Added punchy bass with a wash of light synth work taking advantage of a wide stereo image. Managed to 80sify the depth of stereo fieldwhile working on headphones, hence so much reverb and a power ballad vibe.

Back In Time

Pre 2020, I was demoning an untuned 40 year old Hohner D6 resulting in a bit of jam. Worked out some variations on a riff, then overdubbed some ridiculous improvised stuff - mostly nonsense, what a clutter!

Thanks to a certain Mister Guy for playing lead guitar on this and complimenting our syncopation almost immediately! Good job friend!
The ending has a certain party vibe!


A later rendition may have whistles flutes and recorders / Ocarinas / whistles / cazoos whatever silly party instruments there are and less guitar noodling!

Floating in the Sun

Written, composed, played, recorded and mixed by Daniel Worrall.

Falling

I still have plans to finalise this tune.
I feel that it is close enough to completion to release. 
Work on it started rapidly in 2009. I have a habit of overworking arrangements and mixes, coming back to them and adding parts, removing the subtlest of changes and archiving projects over and over.

Pebble Desert (2009) 2025 Rework

A track started maybe 10 years ago. Had to replace a bunch of plugins that aren't compatible from my old studio. So in 2025 I reworked, updated tweaked what was left from yet another unfinished project!

Sea Foam (2011 Rework) 2025

Post-rock, Ambient Noise Soundscape jam. There vocals in the layers.

Autumn Wander

I decided to remix and finalise in 2025 the acoustic version of a song from 2015.
It’s a beautiful song sung by a fellow musician from years ago. 
Close microphones with a direct sounding mix, it is an intimate recording. 

John's guitar is recorded with a classical Decca Tree 3 microphone arrangement for a classic phase polar patter. One microphone is a Reslosound ribbon figure of 8 cardioid - pictures in many Beatles pictures from the 1960s.

FX is a hardware Lexicon LPX unit providing ambience dialled to site far back in the mix.

I played a simple piano part to accompany the guitar, which could be improved, but whatever!

John Schaffer - I wish 2025 (2015) New Mix

Abandoned experimental and unfinished dream pop track I wrote circa 2010s. John volunteered to add some of his own vocals and lyrics, so I recorded and produced him, leaving me to tweak away. Then I never got around to finishing it. I may rework it again soon, it’s got unfinished potential.

Thelonious - This could be (Ft. John Schaffer)

Previously unreleased Trance style pads and synths, melodic composition from circa 2010.

In a world far away

From my EP ‘Daniel Worrall - Aura’ which was a CD and some MySpace releases. Right before the chaos of life, when thins were lighthearted, dreams & ambitions were only innocent & hopeful and being 17 was a curious time.

Simpler times.
Peace.

Daniel Worrall - Pretty Girl (2004)

I engineered and produced this song for John. Playing a few of the instruments. It entertained m flatmates a lot at the time back in 2011.

John Schaffer - Torn in Two

2012 I collaborated on some EDM / Synth pop tracks I had prepared for a rainy day. John liked em and wrote some lyrics so we crafted some songs.

Thelonious - Digital Dreams (Ft John Schaffer)

2012 another Synthpop type track that John was able to write lyrics and record in record time for one of my side projects ‘Thelonious’

Thelonious - State of Mind (Ft. John Schaffer)

2012. Another Synthpop/EDM dance track I engineered part of my ‘Thelonious’ Project.  John easily crafted some lyrics, we were able to complete a few tracks in a unique style.

Thelonious - Phobia (Ft. John Schaffer)

One of the earliest songs I wrote, mixed and produced with my home studio setup in my younger years. Innocent and fun times discovering multitrack recording and when my voice was a lot ‘younger’

Daniel Worrall - Beautiful Day (2006)

Written, composed, played, recorded and mixed by Daniel Worrall.
Summer Dance Vibes

Endless Summer

This city never sleeps

Written, composed, played, recorded and mixed by Daniel Worrall.
Another track based on reverberated guitars and plucked notes, plenty of delay and FX with sparse arpeggios adding to the spaciousness of the track.

Meet me At The River

Written, composed, played, recorded and mixed by Daniel Worrall.
Buried in the archives - pulled out of the work in progress archives for the trend of reverb math-rock inspired guitars, large drums and some ethereal synths around 2010.

Old Sea Days

Written, composed, played, recorded and mixed by Daniel Worrall.
Recorded a lead guitar vocal melody with a Korg MIKU Stomp pedal "vocaloid sound"

What started as a bit of a joke got a bit serious..

Thanks to my former colleagues for getting this strange pedal as a leaving present!
