4 Track and mono recordings(early 2000s)

Eowyn the Elf swords maiden
Recorded this as just a sketch on Basic 4-track tape machine back in 2001-2
without drums but rithmic stereo delays on guitar chords,

Eowyn (2002)

I recorded this idea without drumbeats ang strong stereo delay to keep time to, a one take improvised jam.

Umbriel (2003 exploratory Jam)

This tune was later called Mother Earth and Earth Mother in later versions

Middle Earth (2001)

Another tune inspired by Middle Earth Inhabitants

Elven (2002)

This tune inspired by the film Excalibur and the magical sword of the same name, only the true of heart could wield it

Excalibur (2001)

First version of this tune
Mystical sun rays full of cosmic information.

Sunlight (2002)

A rough sketch of an idea I had in 2002 inspired by The film
Lord of the Rings. the timing is off in places but something that can be re-done properly in the future. Arwen, compassionate, intelligent and gentle, and 
eventually Queen of Middle Earth.

Arwen (2002)

This is a chord type tune that I came up with in early 20s that stayed with me, a revolving picked cord, no begining and no end, ever spinning wheel, some saddness and some joy.
I have replaced the file without EQ to original

Eternal Friend (short solo2003)

I recorded this Initial Version on a Kareoke like machine that had the ability to layer overdubs in mono only.
 This track inspired me to name it The Flashing Blade from the lat 60s series about the Spanish and  French
conflicts in the 1600s, was facinated by this series.
Version 2, a stereo version will follow shortly

The Flashing Blade Version 1 (Mono 2003)

The re-recorded version of this track Inspired by the late 1960s TV series The Flashing Blade.

The Flashing Blade Version 2 (2003 Stereo)

Recorded on a basic tascam 4 track tape recorder, a quick sound test to  to explore rhythmic guitar delays . In the background the ambient sounds are whats known as a guitar Glissando effect, by playing the open strings with a smooth matallic bar, in this case a tremolo arm.

Light Geometry (2001)

Guitar Track without beats using Echo effect to keep time.
The Grail could mean the reaching of wisdom and peace.

The Grail (2002)

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 Hobbits Quest {2001}

Recorded on basic 4-track casset recorder, using eco/delay tempo.

Merkaba (2002)

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)

These are my musical compositions since I began recording on 4-track tape, and later on with laptop, have been adding new compositions in the last few years here and there.
Mostly instrumental recordings, and tracks with vocal, adding extra musical Dimensions and athmospherics.
I have many musical influences, there are special bands and musicians I grew up listening to, Gong, Steve Hillage, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Ozric Tentacles, Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, John Martyn (ecoplex guitar master), Return to Forever,  Zappa, and from my own country, Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore, CLannad.
