Excalibur (2001)

Is This Love (Live cover of Whitesnake by Stormwatch)

From a demo of the band Stormwatch, which was formerly named Das Raven in early 1990s,this song was on based on the British TV
series Das Boot.
Sadly as I shared this with my facebook page, I have learned the Bassist and one of the founder members, Dave Hewitt, has passed on from this world, this then, is one of a series of tribute songs from the band, in memory of Dave.

Das Raven

This is a Track I recorded a few years back, and didn't have a theme
to complete it, I asked Saskia Goethals, who has her own soundcloud profile, to listen to this tune and she liked, I mentioned Viking as an idea, and that was that, Saskia quickly transformed this tune with her inventiveness and spontaneity into something special.
My track is now a song, Thank You Saskia!

Lyrics:
I’m gonna tell you what i saw today
What i saw today
I saw a viking, is saw a big viking
In a small room
In a small tearoom
I said hey
i wanna come over
Is that okay
Can i sit next to you

Want to
Want to know all about you
The viking said, my name is Bjorn, my name is Bjorn, meaning beer grr
Nananananbeekebeer in a small room
Want to know all about you

You have beautiful hair,
You have beautiful eyes
He wasn’t into small talk
Want to see my tattoo
Mmmm there is still place for my face on you

Viking, (Want To Know All About You!) Collab With Saskia (vocals+Lyrics)

A guitar instrumental Inspired by initially a merengue style  Drum loop that I liked from my old drum machine, after creating variations of the loop, the tune quickly expanded in style.

Floating World V2 (1990)

One of three separate guitar solos to the same backing track, this one, the clean solo.
recorded on a Boss micro Br-80, which has some very nice guitar tones and eband backing track loops, so to be more spontaneous
I could not resist playing to this backing track .
I changed the image, now I feel happier that I did, because of the Deep appreciation for this Guy's talant and his chosen musical Pathway.

Recorded on Basic 4-Track cassette recorder with delay effect making a tempo, I thought of the hobbits Journey when I was finding a name for this tune

The Circle V3 (1990)

This is a guitar tune I composed many years ago but never recorded.
Galadriel, my favourite character of Middle Earth, wise, compassionate,
powerful in her abilities and always using them for the highest good. 
But merciless in the defence of the innocent.

Galadriel - The Enlightened (shorter version 2024)

This extended version has some more Lead Guitar sections added.  And special thanks to SolarRae's vocal here, Importantly creating extra atmosphere and Mystique!
This version, to me, is showing the more powerful and profound abilities of Galadriel in repelling Dark forces.

would be the long journey to return to the Heart.

Journey to the Crystal City (2010)

Recorded on a basic 4-Track tape machine. Inspired by the peacful time in the gardens of a historical mansion not far from Scarborough on East coast of England.

Garden Of The Source (2003)

This tune Is from an Idea I have on a video that I made a few years ago in the lockdown period. The video was myself playing to a loop I had made quickly, but I liked the vibe and always wished to record this properly, so the source of this tune is this video https://youtu.be/zWut8y0hQYA
I added an ambient guitar technique at 3.06 minutes, called ''Glissando'' that I picked up through listening to the great band ''Gong'' and the exceptional Guitarist ''Steve Hillage''. This effect was developed by Daevid Allen, Gong,
by means of using a smooth metal bar (tremolo arm) in a sweeping motion
across guitar strings with delay fx and other ambient fx.

In this, our benevolent Space Brothers and Sisters have been watching, and see that we are now in an emergency in our wonderful Home, Earth. What now....? This is my new video to provide a possible storyline for this tune https://youtu.be/AjZvJxecBtI

Space Brother-Space Sister (2025)

This piece is the audio from a youtube video that I created during the Lockdown period when I was using a loop pedal for creating music. I hope to properly record this soon.

All Is One- 2021 loop Jam

This is taken from a video, https://youtu.be/wlPHizNlSnU, I made again during the Lockdown period. I was trying to compose Musical ideas using loop pedal and was stuck, frustrated, I looked up for just a moment and straight away without thought, I started recording these simple chord progressions, I was helped, from somwhere, and Was Inspired. And thankful!!!
I called this version True Love, because this later recording had more emotion
and meaning.
A profound love feeling that touches the very Soul.
Excuse me please, for the clicks that occur in this audio, my early days in video making with simple equiptment, these are foot pedal clicks lol!!!

Deep Dive/True Love(2020)

This audio is from a last video playing along to a loop I created in 2023, https://youtu.be/Uu4d9b4MVCs

Angels-Welcome!

After composing the initial basic structure of this tune, its vibe reminded me of what I imagined Angels to be, focused on assisting, answering the sincere call for help with wisdom and empathy and restoring balance to all realms that they work within.
