10. AS GOOD AS IT SOUNDS

Daylight

Shadow

Here’s a voice we’ve come to know.
Warm, timeless, unforgettable.
Ella Fitzgerald made After You’ve Gone echo through decades.
But…
What if it hadn’t been her?
What if that melody had been born today —
not from a woman, but from a machine?

This isn’t a cover.
This is a question.
A dream. A tribute. A paradox.

Close your eyes and feel.
Could something artificial still carry the soul of jazz?

What nostalgic Christmas memories 🎅🏻🎄🎁 do we cherish? And what truly makes the holiday a real Christmas ⭐? I had these questions in mind as I curated the tracks for this mixtape. The result is a selection filled with mostly older, classic Christmas songs designed to evoke that timeless holiday ❄️feeling.

Ambition emerges as a time-warping force, transforming the inner world with quiet precision. It expands beyond boundaries, tracing luminous paths where desire, purpose, and inevitability intersect. In this elevated space, gravity becomes a rhythm of intention: subtle, persistent, unwavering. Each step forward forges a new geometry of the self, while each moment of stillness reveals another layer of direction. Ambition does not shout; it vibrates in the void, defining its own laws and lifting the spirit above all that once oppressed it.

One hot summer’s day in the early 1980s, a troubled young schoolkid was being supervised alone in the music room for some forgotten misdemeanor. He spent the period playing a drum kit for the first time in his life, and when he was ready to go, the student teacher who had been supervising signed off his report card with the fateful words: “excellent drummer!”

Throughout the ’90s and ’00s, I played drums in “happy-clappy” churches up and down the country, as well as in college, where I toured with a band named Kurios. I’ve always had music in me. I never properly learned to play a “real” instrument — but why would an undiagnosed autistic kid with ADD want to pluck strings or blow through reeds when he can just hit things?!

These days, as I’m getting older (55) and increasingly disabled (I can no longer manage a full drum kit), I’ve finally found ways to get the music out of my head and into yours through the wonders of technology. I record everything in my home studio using a humble Arturia Minilab 3, a PC running Reaper, and a whole range of tools and plugins.

Now, on the use of AI, let me be absolutely clear:

I do not support the swamping of streaming platforms with “AI slop.” However, as an IT professional with fairly extensive knowledge and experience of AI, I also do not support the indiscriminate dismissal and castigation of any and all use of AI in music production — or any of the arts, for that matter. And as a drummer, I suppose I got over it years ago, back when we were being replaced in studios by computers from the late ’80s onward..!

For me, AI is just another tool in the artist’s toolbox — one that helps me massively shorten and simplify my workflows, and one that’s helped to elevate my craft to something much closer to professionally produced work. I don’t sing (very well), but with AI tools such as Ace Studio, Audime, or Suno Studio, I can turn my own voice — or even simple musical notation — into just about any vocal I can imagine.

I don’t play guitar (at all — I’ve got tiny sausage fingers), but with AI I can turn any melody hammered out on my MIDI controller into a lead guitar, bass riff, or just about any other instrument. I’m a musician, but I’m also an engineer, and I hope those skills — along with my hard work and passion — come through in my music and set it apart from the AI slop which is becoming so prevalent . 🙏🙏🙏 (And yes, I did have ChatGPT proof read this Bio, which is why it's full of em-dash symbols 😅)

As for the lyrics in my songs — the stories they tell — those are all me. They come from my life experiences, and from the obsessive scribbling of the angsty autistic teenager who still lives in my head and believes his poetry is so deeply profound. 😅
