Released 2020

Very happy with this original track based on a beat by LJandpad. Have used Ableton to my fullest extent so far and have included words in English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Russian, German and Italian in that order. Please pass on to your friends who speak those languages. Having used a number of translators and text to speech functions, I expect that the results will be very funny, but also my first international hit!

Although this was based on an online midi file, I added quite a few tracks and instruments and remixed it to come up with a pretty good result, methinks.

Klopp's words and Faithless music. Vocals by text to speech. 

Dedicated to Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool, and all other members of the Football community around the globe.

Printed in full, here is Klopp’s statement:

I don’t think this is a moment where the thoughts of a football manager should be important, but I understand for our supporters they will want to hear from the team and I will front that.

First and foremost, all of us have to do whatever we can to protect one another. In society, I mean. This should be the case all the time in life, but in this moment I think it matters more than ever.

I’ve said before that football always seems the most important of the least important things. Today, football and football matches really aren’t important at all.

Of course, we don’t want to play in front of an empty stadium and we don’t want games or competitions suspended, but if doing so helps one individual stay healthy — just one — we do it no questions asked.

If it’s a choice between football and the good of the wider society, it’s no contest. Really, it isn’t.

Today’s decision and announcement is being implemented with the motive of keeping people safe. Because of that we support it completely. We have seen members of teams we compete against become ill. This virus has shown that being involved in football offers no immunity. To our rival clubs and individuals who are affected and to those who later will become so, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

None of us know in this moment what the final outcome will be, but as a team we have to have belief that the authorities make decisions based on sound judgement and morality.

Yes, I am the manager of this team and club and therefore carry a leadership responsibility with regards to our future on the pitch. But I think in the present moment, with so many people around our city, the region, the country and the world facing anxiety and uncertainty, it would be entirely wrong to speak about anything other than advising people to follow expert advice and look after themselves and each other.

The message from the team to our supporters is only about your well-being. Put your health first. Don’t take any risk. Think about the vulnerable in our society and act where possible with compassion for them.

Please look after yourselves and look out for each other.

You’ll Never Walk Alone,

Jürgen

Dick Dale was one of the founders of Surf Rock in the 60's. His greatest hot was when this track was used for Tarantino's movie - Pulp Fiction.

Dick Dale - Misirlou (Pulp Fiction)

This started life as a 4 track midi and I wanted to go for the effect across 16 channels that you get at a folk festival when 16+ random folkies sit in a circle and decide to jam to a folk tune which they might not have played before, but if you know the key and tempo they all know their part!

Ashley Hutchins - Ducks On The Millpond

While the lyrics were very risqué for their time, the base line by Herbie Flowers is one of the most iconic.

Lou Reed - Walk On The Wild Side

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!
