Here is a track that I've been working on for my upcoming solo album. 
This track features Bb Clarinet, EEb Contra Alto Clarinet, Alto Flute, Bass Flute, Bellart Bells, Cajonico, percussion

I'm a little impatient, and really wanted to get some of my new material out into the world! My album will be entitled "imPossibilities", and will be solely performed by myself.
I will be performing on Clarinets (from Bb Clarinet through to BBb Contra Bass Clarinet), Saxophones, Flutes, Handpans (Bellart Bells & Saraz Handpan), Cajonico and various percussion.

SatyatA (Unmastered)

Here is a spicy track played on my Hijazkiar BElls. Enjoy!

Hijazkiar

An improvisation using a Hang sample library to emulate a Pantheon Steel Golden Gate Halo... With Soprano Saxophone improvisation and rhythm section backing

Golden Gate Demo FULL

A moody track that gets darker towards the end, and has some gritty, fuzzed contra alto clarinet to fatten up the bass line towards the end. Featuring handpan, synthesizers, woodwind instruments and percussion, it has all of the elements that I love to throw into my music (it even has some gin bottles thrown in for good measure haha)

The beginning can be different to the ending, and that's ok

Sample of the scale available on a Bellart Bells. I have no affiliation with Bellart, and this is in no way meant to represent the sound of a Bellart Bells. It is merely to be used as an example of the notes available on a Bells in the listed scale. Apologies for the crudity of the improvisations - these were done in a short amount of time.

Paradiso2 Sample

A funky Prince tune that we performed at the Night Cat a few years ago... The JiveCrank All-Stars in fine form!

Live @ the Night Cat

Everlasting Now

We got together for a play, and our Hijazkiar Bells and Minor Pentatonic 9 Halo worked pretty well together!
Here are a few jams that happened during the day/evening... I've also included a short jam with my Cajonico and the Halo
Hope you enjoy!
The outside jams were late at night, outside my house, so you can hear some car comings and goings :)

Outside Jam Pt 3 Mozzie Interlude

Outside Jam Pt 4

This is a tribute to my step-mother, Judith Anne Diffey, who passed away recently due to cancer. She was an amazing woman who fought this terrible disease with such ferocity, and never complained about the hand she had been dealt.
My brothers and I sang this at her funeral - it was terribly hard to do! This is a recording we made a few days later (when we could sing without breaking down).

The song is Timshel, by Mumford & Sons, and was performed by Jeremy, Christopher, Joshua and Luke Diffey. 

Timshel - a tribute to Jude

This is the song that I wrote for my wife, Rachel, back in 2002.
Sung by Gavin Hope, it's still the favourite song that I've ever written.
