There were shadows on the sundial,  
Growing longer every spring,  
Tiny boots by the doorway,  
Now quiet like a bird with folded wings.  
Echoes of their laughter  
Still sleep in the floorboards deep,  
But the clocks keep steady breathing,  
And the roots don’t beg the leaves to keep.

They are feathers in the wind,  
Drawn by skies they’ve never known,  
Not ours to hold, only to begin,  
Now they find the breeze alone.  
We were shelters, we were songs,  
Now we hum them from afar,  
Guiding by the dimming light  
Of a once-familiar star.

There’s a coat left on the railing,  
And a name etched in the frost,  
Pages turned in quiet silence  
Where no stories have been lost.  
The door still opens softly,  
Though no footsteps follow through,  
Even absence has its colour,  
And the silence carries you.

They are feathers in the wind,  
Drawn by skies they’ve never known,  
Not ours to hold, only to begin,  
Now they find the breeze alone.  
We were shelters, we were songs,  
Now we hum them from afar,  
Guiding by the dimming light  
Of a once-familiar star.

Let the sky be wide and patient,  
Let the maps remain unread,  
Let the night be kind and quiet  
When they rest their growing heads.

They are feathers in the wind,  
And the wind must let them go.  
We were earth beneath their wings,  
Now we’re just the place they know.  
We were shelters, we were songs,  
Now we hum them from afar,  
Still their names are stitched in sky  
Like a slow, returning star.

I first started posting my music on Soundcloud in late 2012. 

I've found it to be a very inspiring and supportive community of music creators. 

I have also made friends with great people and collaborated with some really talented artists on here.

Thanks to all who support - It means a lot to me :)

A laboratory with an open bar and floating altar. Come on in! 

Here are various solo and collaborative projects - songs, soundscapes, live looped solo guitar improvisations. 

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.

Composer/Guitarist/Producer

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

My music is on most platforms for your ease.

Wow!!  417K+ plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends on SC alone, that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track! Really big thanks to the SC community for listening and providing such brilliant feedback and support. It means so much to myself and my collaborators - huge thanks.

I work in different styles, as the inspiration, dreams or bubonic plagiarism comes! I use Logic Pro X on Mac.
 
I write, produce and play all my own stuff (unless otherwise stated), play vintage Tokai Strats mainly, PRS Torero, Steinberger, Gretsch G2627T, Classical, Fender Dreadnought, Yamaha and Rickenbacker basses, keyboards and sax. I use Native Instrument's Komplete, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples.

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Yamaha HS8 studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, Neumann & iSK condenser & AKG dynamic mics. 

Hardware: Feb 1978 Marshall JMP 50W Combo, BOO & BOSS stomps

I love collaborating with other musicians and will compose with, play guitar for, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please ask!

P.S. I am a long standing member of the Performing Rights Society and PPL through my old TV and theatre work as well as my record and publishing deals.
