Nowhere To Go But Everywhere

I'm still experiment with different approaches to create my music, so this is a small piece based on a percussive theme. It may feel like a journey in search of unknown, undiscovered places...

Since I'm slowly returning to classical guitar, I wanted to use it as the lead instrument. I decided to use all the dirty guitar plays and experiment with different ambient sounds and of course, with the piano :)

Hidden Latitudes - part 2

Hidden Latitudes

“‘Return To The East’ is about going back to your roots, back to simplicity and in turn overcoming doubt, reclaiming personal identity and finding clarity and strength in who you are. 

It was written during a visit to my hometown of Montrose, on the East Coast of Scotland. I was on a bike ride towards Lunan Bay on a sun-drenched day when I entered a deep reflection triggered by the landscape around me. The sea, wild grasses and ploughed fields transported me back to my childhood. I was not long out of university at the time and was trying to find my feet, figure out who I was and what I wanted away from the external noise of city life in Glasgow and the influence of others.”

Return To The East

i know......you think......i'm strong.
the road....just feels....too long.
i'm sorry, i'm sorry....i'm falling apart.
i'm sorry, i'm sorry....haven't got the heart.

you think that....i should try....much more.
but i'm down....can't get off....the floor.
i'm sorry, i'm sorry....i hide my fears.
i'm sorry, i'm sorry....to see your tears....it's over....it's over.

it's not that....i don't see....your pain.
i'm breaking....i can't take....the strain.
i'm sorry, i'm sorry....i'm going down.
i'm sorry, i'm sorry....please don't frown.

i don't want....to hurt....my best friend.
you must know....this is....the end.
i'm sorry, i'm sorry....please don't cry.
i'm sorry, i'm sorry....can't tell you why....it's over....it's over

repeat verse 1 and 2

she knows that he is not well, but he hasn't told her that he's dying.

It's over.  (song for a dying man)

a queer love story told through song 🌈

Sally the Monster Slayer

There’s a permanent click track in my mind,
The metronome like a clock.
Tick tock Tick tock.
Within the head space.
The grasses grow long in the overground garden.
A simple mow will fill a wonderful smell of freshly cut grass into the metasphere.
Another track, control New, controlling you!
Press record. The subtleties of presumption transpire into a grey triangle.
A click track, bait, got to catch them all.
A catcher in the rye.
Slowly we sigh, expanding air through our mouths.
Clickerty clickerty clickerty clack.
The stop bar stopped so did our track.
We derailed, we failed, we bailed.
CTRL N, CTRL N, CTRL N.
We renewed and sat back and observed for a while.

Where the Wood Pigeons Coo,
Where the Wood Pigeons Coo,
Sat waiting for the news,
Sat waiting for the news,
Soon they can renew,
Soon they can renew,
Sat waiting for the blues.
Sat waiting for some clues.

Badgers stripe, scutterling, connected to ground.
Above the majestic kite, circling.

Where bats wings flap, 
Where bats wings flap,
Sonar waves.
Bouncing bouncing.
Soon we can renew.

In the forest; pine scent tickles nose hair,
Bare feet in bracken.

Baths of magnesium sulphate, floating, floating.
Stagnant Meres, Where wood pigeons coo.
Floating floating.
Ducks bath, floating floating
In stagnant Meres
Floating floating.

There’s a permanent click track in my mind,
The metronome like a clock.
Tick tock Tick tock.
Within the head space.
The grasses grow long in the overground garden.
A simple mow will fill a wonderful smell of freshly cut grass into the metasphere
Another track….
In stagnant meres.
In stagnant meres.
Stagnant meres.

High And Wasted

High and Wasted (Radio Edit) [feat. Sock Drawer]

Inspired by a conversation with my Grandmother, I increasingly realise the value of time. Make memories with those you love, because it may be your only legacy.

Fading Memories

The Recursives live at The Fox in Oswestry, Shropshire. It was getting late and beer had been supped :))))
Al - Bass and vocals
Bri - Sax and lead vocals

The Recursives - Live At The Fox

Mixed and produced by Lee Childs, recorded with Tom Chadd, Alfie Bernadi, Mark Benton and Jools Owen. 
Lots of layers of dreamy guitars that wash into lush synths and pedal steel guitars, layers of vocal harmonies and a strong leading drum beat that lifts and builds throughout.

Largely influenced by bands from the 80s and the 90s, somewhere between psych rock, post punk, new wave and indie rock, GOTM create their own brand of mashed up styles: Psychwave. The band is freshly back from touring Japan and South East Asia.

The Scottish-Italian/French duo got together in East London in the summer of 2016 and later moved to Glasgow. A haunting voice and indie style lyrics on top of hypnotic looped layers of guitars and drum machines, and killer guitar solos. On stage, they like to go with the flow and often end up improvising improbable melodies, creating beautiful and strange new soundscapes. 

Their 2020 album Fake Flowers Never Die caught the attention of BBC radio 6 DJs, added by Vic Galloway of BBC Scotland to his 25 bands to watch out for in 2021 list, and was nominated for the SAY Awards. [Scottish Album of the Year]

Their latest EP ‘The Unraveling’ (released 2022) was named record of the week on BBC Radio Nan Gaidheal and Parisian radio Le Village Pop.
