with Magix Music maker Dance edition, I remember it was free, or very cheap, my first DAW, it was fun.

A short piece that I had recorded 2009 on my laptop, capturing my feelings about the wonderful forest atmosphere

New Forest (2009)

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

I’ve got wind in my hair
Smile on my face
Needle point to ninety five
No one anywhere around

Back pinned to my seat 
She’s revving high
Pulling away clean and green
Front end up high

This jalopy has only one speed
It’s full throttle ahead
From stoplight to stoplight

Who want to take a ride
Take your life
Put it in my hands
Take a thrill ride

Check the oil, check the tires
Every night
Put a fresh shine on the paint job
Man, she looks so tight

I’ve got no reason to stop
No one gonna stop me
Needle up to hundred five
Red and blue lights all around

Hands pinned to my back
Feet spread wide
Got a fresh shiner on my eye
I know better


Take A Thrill Ride

Tiny boat, big sea
No land nowhere to be seen
Gotta tiny on a big sea

Some days we row along merrily
Some days the wind blows mightily 
So happy that you're here with me

He might have been a big man
A titan of industry
But he's got an itty bitty boat just like me

Some days we row along merrily
Some days the wind blows mightily
I'm happy that you're here with me

Due north through the freezing wind and rain
Due south through the troubles of our days
Due east to a far off distant land
Your hand in my hand
Your hand in my hand

Come across a boat
Filled with refugees
Men, women, little babies
Sitting knee to knee
They got a tiny boat on a big sea

Some days we row along merrily 
Some days the wind blows mightily
I'm so happy you're here with me

I seen my father on his death bed
I heard my father, the last words that he said
Such a tiny boat on a big sea

He rowed that boat time and time again
Now I see another boat waiting for him
It's a tiny boat on a big sea

Tiny Boat, Big Sea

Idris is a genetically modified human, engineered to navigate spaceships through "sub-space" - allowing ships to traverse enormous distances. As such, he's a tremendously valuable asset and vulnerable to kidnapping. There are other costs: the process of navigation means being aware of the presence of terrifying entities that seem to wallow in sub-space... Another track inspired by Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Shards of Earth" novel.

The dusky sounding guitar is my Gibson 335 - I love the warm but crisp bite of those humbuckers!
