Must confess it has been a while since I have listened to your music.  Great to hear you are still producing wonderful music.  Great arrangement, playing and I don't have the words to adequality compliment your vocals.

Great lyrics as well, a significant departure from your early lyrics from what I remember.   I hope the music is still a bit of time out!

Your voice catch my ear with first word.....I hope you not to give up....you are awesome❣️

Gorgeous voice and beautiful instrumentation. Well written. Helen x

L’artiste américaine réitère avec une vaporeuse chanson électro-pop aux sonorités synthétiques soigneusement ficelées. La qualité de production impeccable de ce morceau doucement entraînant retient l’attention pour ses subtilités musicales. L’interprétation vocale féminine rappelle à la fois Imogen Heap pour le traitement sonore exploratoire et Aurora pour la sensibilité qui en émane. Un morceau rempli d’émotions, de douceur et d’intensité. 〰 The American artist repeats with a vaporous electro-pop song with carefully crafted synthetic sounds.

a few out takes from Dani Kirby and Mat Ward's weekly rehearsals at the legendary Rat Palace as we plot and stumble our way to a new full length album. We seem to have more riffs this year, less texture, more fuzz, less space. Fuck knows where these things come from, a couple we have stopped and thought about, others we just let flow. Hopefully towards the end of the year we will have decided whats what and have a new shiny thing out in the universe. Thanks as always for all the support : )

Still ploughing through Ann Leckie's trilogy!
This is more of a soundtrack piece, inspired by the tension in the books. 
Dug out my PRS Custom for this and used the e-bow string sustainer with a scorching guitar tone. Great fun!

With this little loop I wanted to start a new concept for me: using just one Instrument to create a whole loop. I hope you enjoy this and I am excited what will come next. You can choose the new Instrument if you want by commenting on my instagram stories or write a comment under this loop.
The next instruments can be the following:
Euphonium, Okarina or Voice.
Have fun and vote for the next instrument!

Mit diesem Loop möchte ich ein neues Konzept starten: ein Instrument für einen ganzen Loop. Ich hoffe es gefällt euch und ich bin schon gespannt auf die nächsten Vorschläge eurerseits.
Ihr könnt entweder bei meinen Instagram Stories oder in den Kommentaren dieses Tracks abstimmen, welches Instrument ihr als nächstes hören möchtet. 
Zur Auswahl stehen: Euphonium, Okarina oder Stimme.
Viel Spaß beim Hören und stimmt gern fürs nächste Instrument!

First Sight

Tom Adams made a sublime country tune open for collab.   I worked something into it.

Do you remember much about last night, or is it just a foggy picture in your head,
the drunken taxi ride, the bar-room fight,
and how you came to be here in my bed ?

I think somebody hurt you once, but you don't like to say,
maybe you will talk to me someday.
You come to me when the moon is full or when it all just gets too much,
I've got a feeling that you just come here for my loving touch.

And some of us are nervous, like we're taken by surprise,
some of us are angels with the devil in our eyes,
some of us are weary of the burden on our backs
and some of us are falling through the tracks.

Now I sit and watch you sleep in the hour before the dawn,
lying in the arms of Morpheus you're looking pretty torn,
your dreams are growing dangerous, I can hear the sound
of a thousand worried whispers going down.

And some of us are delicate, it's always been that way,
and some of us are snowflakes, we simply fade away,
some of us are weary of the burden on our backs,
and some of us are falling through the cracks.

Falling through the cracks.  *Tom Adams Steve Killingbeck

Always loved this song by Carly Simon. It’s so easy to relate too because no matter what your situation or station is in life you immediately think of someone you know when you hear the chorus for the first time.  I hesitated doing this cover because I couldn’t ever recall a male interpretation of this song. After doing some research several male artists including Marilyn Manson have given tribute to this song. That’s when I decided to go for it and record this version. 

In her memoir Carly Simon revealed that the song was about Warren Beatty. Go figure.

You're So Vain - Cover

My interpretation of "Socialite", the song written and performed by Richie Kotzen & his band / from his Album "Mother Head's Family Reunion" (1994). It's a song of poetic irony against so-called 'Socialite'. 

This cover mainly consists of 2 versions; 
1) 00:00 Intro-Verse-Chorus-Bridge sections (& Outro) that basically follow the Original Studio Version.
2) 02:36 Interlude-Guitar Solo sections that basically follow the Live Version (“Live in Sao Paulo”, 2001) >>  Solo 1 (Clean) starts at : 03:34 & Solo 2 (Distortion): 04:50- .

- I first covered this song about 25 years ago with my band...I've loved its various rhythm pattern especially drumming in this song and it's been one of my drum practice pieces since then.  
I'd completed the first half of this cover (studio version sections) about half a year ago...but couldn't find a vocalist this time and decided to make an instrumental version, then let it alone since I wanted to record the latter half but couldn't have time...anyway, finally I could make it last week...
-Vocal parts are substitute by my humble Keys (Synth Organ). 

Hope you enjoy. Any feedback would be appreciated.

(Ain't No) Socialite - Richie Kotzen Cover (Instrumental Extended Version)

Always going out
Always coming home
Rushing to and from
Never on my own
Like to see the sun
Rise and set sometimes
Every day’s the same
Losing track of time

Knee deep in the pool of narcissus
To loathe nothing more than this abyss

No joy
No pain
Just drive and drive and drive and drive

No peaks
No falls
Just drive and drive and drive and drive

The moon looks different than just years ago
The sky was crystalline as my eyes move slow
Now my lens is green
Logic rules my mind
Nodding is default
Keeping tabs on time

Knee deep in the pool of narcissus
Watch you through a screen that don’t exist

No joy
No pain
Just drive and drive and drive and drive

No peaks
No falls
Just drive and drive and drive and drive
