Released 2017 and 2018

Funkinova - Complete Works Part 1

Themes

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.

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. 

Theme - Hawaii 5 0

Theme - Dr Who

21 Channels and still work in progress but Take 1 had a laggy thing going on when I listened on someone else's ipod player.

Will go back to the drawing board for Take 3 but I have proven the technology !!

ADIEMUS Take 2

Simon And Garfunkle - Bridge Over Troubled Water

So it is never quite clear why one cover track might get a few thousand plays and others just a few. So I thought I would put this that I produced around three years ago back in the spotlight to see if it can get some more plays this second time around.

As one of my earlier tracks it is one of the first where I gave it a treatment that didn't try and be too close to the original.

2018 V1

After 20+ years in the business they produced their best track in 2005!

Developing my multi crunch wah midi skills

Isaac Hayes - Shaft

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 2,800,000 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 sonwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!
