HOLD ME OVER CHRISTMAS TIME

The End of Spring was a piece put together for an art exhibition in Dublin in April 2024.

The piece consists of reel to reel tape loops, field recordings and granular synthesis, from the archive or composed for the piece, to be played live at the gallery as a soundtrack to the space.

Longer evenings, new beginnings, warm unreliable memories and the end of spring.

This is a live take of the piece.

The End Of Spring

Here's a bunch of tunes I recorded at home. Just me and a guitar.

Old School Party Mix

A tongue n cheek song written for the excellent short film Rúbaí 

LYRICS

In the afterlife party, I might be left out in the rain. 
I could be hanging with demons, surrounded by flames
And I’d have to read a lot of books just to prove you wrong
And I’m sure you’ve done your research, so I guess I’ll go along

Do I have to believe?

I should count all my blessings, as they’re surely a sign
And all of the bad things, He’ll explain them in time
And He’s reading my thoughts right now, all those wicked things I think
Thought I was happy without him, (but my child) He’s the missing link

Do I have to believe?

He walks every step with you
Don’t question it, faith is a virtue

Do I have to believe?

Even in the darkest night
See the way, the truth and the life
Even in the darkest night
See the way, the truth and the life


Do I Have To Believe?

The Last Stand - (classical) from the Upcoming Album "Borderline Vintage" 2024

The vote to impeach Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff has left the country in crisis. Rouseff's supporters are calling it a coup, albeit one within the confines of the constitution. Where do Rousseff and Brazil go from here? 

(12.15)Bernie Sanders may be beloved by youthful Democrats, but it is likely that the New York primary will end his run of victories and consolidate Hillary Clinton's grip on the nomination, reports Simon Carswell. 

(21.30) And in Syria, The Commission for International Justice and Accountability was established in 2012 to establish links between the top brass in Bashar al-Assad's regime and the detention, torture and murder of suspected opponents, through the collection of the regime's own internal documents. New Yorker journalist Ben Taub, who broke the story, explains how the documents have shed light on shocking atrocities and Assad's own role in the murder of hundreds of thousands of his citizens.

Sent some guitars to the Arkestar https://soundcloud.com/ocean-of-tunes-presents... the Maestro came up with this lil' wonder :)

I WON'T LET MY HEROES DIE
If U want 2 bring my world down, U were never down!
Do what U think makes U right, your Heaven's nearer!
U might think U want mine, so lay it down,
'Cause you're never so wrong 'bout it, in your life!

Back up the World, it's gonna need a major clean,
Shut down the drives & we might just get out alive,
remember the Peace, remember there's a way outta here,
4get all the greed, regret all the wanting & needs.

U can rely, there's truth in my lies, there's truth in the words I've got 2 hide,
I Can't tell U why, I can't tell U how, but I can't be honest with U now.

Sun's in the Sky, I'm closing my eyes,
Closing 'em tight its my disguise,
you're hearing my sighs, you're asking me why,
I don't have the words to sympathise,

Was my life, once mine? being fed all the zero's
Alphabet still seems light, 'cause you've stolen my Heroes,
Patience now has run dry, gotta breathe 2b near U,
'Cause I, Won't let my Heroes Die!

I Won't let my Heroes Die

Arkestar w/mOag - i wOn't let my herOes die
