This is cool man. Love the vibe... and very unique vocal delivery..

Written when I had a bad cold I just couldn't escape.  Kept hold of an old recording of it, with my cold and flu strained voice, and then re did the vocal two years later. It's evidently about a little more than a wish to escape the cold I was suffering with, I guess it reinforced something of a negative bias at the time it was written. 

In some ways it feels like I wondered somewhere into the 90s to write this one! Lol!

Huge Fight In The Family

This song is the last part of my trilogy.
The Mycenaean princess Electra, humiliated and tormented by her family, obsessively pursues only one goal in life: day after day, she conjures up the memory of her father, who was once treacherously murdered by her mother Clytemnestra together with her lover Aegisth, and waits for the return of her brother Orest, who is to take revenge for the bloody deed. Like must be repaid with like. Vacillating between hatred, hysteria, weakness, arrogance, abysmal sadness, obsession and sarcasm, Elektra has lost all connection to the people around her, is neglected and has denied her femininity.

Dieser Song ist letzte Teil meiner Trilogie.
Obsessiv verfolgt die von ihrer Familie gedemütigte und gepeinigte mykenische Königstochter Elektra nur ein einziges Lebensziel: Sie beschwört Tag für Tag die Erinnerung an ihren Vater herauf, der einst von ihrer Mutter Klytämnestra gemeinsam mit deren Liebhaber Aegisth heimtückisch ermordet wurde und wartet auf die Rückkehr ihres Bruders Orest, der Vergeltung für die Bluttat üben soll. Gleiches muss mit Gleichem vergolten werden. Schwankend zwischen Hass, Hysterie, Schwäche, Überheblichkeit, abgrundtiefer Traurigkeit, Besessenheit und Sarkasmus hat Elektra jeden Bezug zu den Menschen um sich herum verloren, ist verwahrlost und hat ihre Weiblichkeit verneint.

Deep Space

This is the sound of the future
This is the sound of the past

Where do we go when the world ends
What do we do if it lasts

Will you hold me in the darkness
Will you kiss me in the cold

So little time left for changes
So many stories untold

Only one train to tomorrow
Only one track in the night

Got no time got no ticket
Drifting slowly out sight

Will you hold me in the darkness
Will you kiss me in the cold

So little time left for changes
So many stories untold...

a fun collaboration with  a great artist Anandatuk. It took a few weeks but we got there in the end! Check out AnandaTuks music.... https://on.soundcloud.com/NThFE

Haunted (AnandaTuk/Trevphonic collaboration)

In this song I used almost all the orchestration on an EMU SYSTEM EMULATOR III and the vocals were recorded on a Shure SM7B microphone.

I've been writing songs for ages and ages, because it's something I enjoy doing, and that's about it. 

I've added dates to titles, however, these aren't always dates recorded, mostly just dates written because the original offerings, back then, had little to be desired with consideration to production values and all that stuff!  For the older tracks some tracks have the old backing with a modern vocal (often with a lyric rewrite), the original vocal with a new backing (when I could work with the original vocal, but not the original backing), the original song newly recorded in all areas, and less often the original vocal and backing, but with a few additions, "No" is one such example.  Otherwise, most of it is newer stuff, post 2018, and is as is, when written and recorded.    

I've had to re-record some things on account of my abilities to record demos and all that being very limited once upon a time.  

In the early days I only had a Farfisa F1 workstation thing (it's amazing what I managed to do on that), later an Atari ST, with Cubase 2 probably, a Proteus 2000, and Fostek 8 track recorder thing, and now I've got Native Instruments 14, and Cubase 12, in what amounts to an astonishingly good set up compared to my earlier resources, for about the same money as that older rubbish was back then. 

I still use the microphone I've had since I was 18, though did just recently upgrade that as well, however still pick up and use the old one, as it's still good - a Sure SM58 with a dent in it! My upgraded mic is a Sure SM7B, which is great, and I see it all the time on TV and podcasts, so must have made a good choice! 

My musical chops are focused on the piano, my main instrument, and the ukulele, which I play a lot as well.  Not doing a lot of piano-orientated songs at the moment, but I do sometimes, and mostly try to get the best out of my Native Instruments stuff.  I'm barely scratching the surface with all of the NI stuff I've got.
