Funkinova - Complete Works Part 1

Classics and Traditional

Legendary 60's organist Jimmy Smith track. If you don't know his music, check him out!

Jimmy Smith - Chicken Shack

The original is really slow and melancholic, and as my student colleagues wanted to do a cover track (to the original tempo), I thought it would be fun to produce a Dance version. It actually turned out much better than I thought it would!  :-)

Radiohead - Exit For a Film (Instrumental Dance Mix!)

Just a gentle groove for a historic song!

Nelson Mandela. 

"I detest racialism because I regard it as a barbaric thing whether it comes from the black man or the white man."

Simple Minds - Mandela Day

This is an EDM  cover version of the Radiohead song "Exit for a Film" with vocals by Lia.

Exit For a Film (Feat Lia)

A bonus track to Funkinova's Tribute to Camel album that was released in May 2022. If you like crazy time signatures, this one's for you!

Camel - Lunar Sea

These tracks were edited using the CVP705 and demonstrate the audio capability of the excellent keyboard. I am hoping that Yamaha will address the major weakness of having very limited free available memory after which I would give the keyboard 10/10. 

Beach Boys - Surfer Girl

Elton John - Song For Guy

Sade - Smooth Operator

Ray Charles - What'd I Say

Theme - Hawaii 5 0

Trad - Drowsy Maggie

Trad - Angus Campbell

Trad - Dowd's Favorite

Remixed Midi's on the Yamaha Clavinova CVP705. I do not play them but produce the audio remixes using this great keyboard !

Tchaikovsky -Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy

Very loosely based on a version by Mannheim Steamroller, my production ended up being Dr Who meets Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yanni and Jean Michel Jarre.

Carol Of The Bells

Hi all, so from 2016 to 2024 I assembled and produced a large collection of covers of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 2,900,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. These first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

Towards the end of that period, I added some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation and I am now  a freelance songwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!
