Okay, I wrote the whole lot after watching every episode of the cult sci-fi series Firefly, one weekend back to back.
Think Victorian Steampunk; Doctor Who; Captain jack Harkness in an internet cafe on an asteroid, listening to outlawed gypsy musicians.
It might help but it's not guaranteed!
 

Lament

From the album Celtica. A medieval feel,almost otherworldly. This piece is about Arianrhod of Welsh mythology, who weaves dreams from the Glass Castle at the end of time. Strange, haunting & lyrical. 

The Glass Castle

This is from the album, In Tempus Viators, a steampunk fusion of folk, funk, Cajun, world & occasional rock music.
This is the one with Captain jack in an internet cafe on an asteroid, listening to outlawed gypsy musicians. The black streamlined hulk they call a space cruiser glides past the front of the building while everyone holds their breath.

I suppose I should really get out more..

O La The Buscuit Tin

This is from the album, In Tempus Viators, a steampunk fusion of folk, funk, Cajun, world & rock music.

The same gypsy fiddler, vagrant buskers, different time & place. A Camp-fire. A traveling carnival. A clown with horribly elongated legs tends the fire - he's wearing a blue striped pajama suit - it looks like his medication is wearing off...


Romany

This is themed on Arianrhod's Castle from Welsh mythology. The Silver Tree sits in the courtyard and gives access to the underworld, the mortal world & the spirit world.

The Silver Tree

The first section is contemporary & jazzy with a little percussive finger slapping. The second section is haunting & lyrical, almost like a Baroque lament. The effect is a bit like seeing Daarth Veda in a Tutu skirt - I'm not convinced the two halves match up but I like it.

The Infinite Sky

Simple short melodic acoustic fingerstyle piece.
