William Waterstone  and Tony Cooke have been collaborating since 2015, working in their individual home studios to produce their first album "GHOST IN THE MACHINE" -  a set of 12 original songs, orientated primarily on Rock, - blues rock, alt rock, rock ballad, folk rock,  and ending the album with a country song...just to add a twist to the ongoing flavour...

William writes the songs, does all the vocals, plays most of the instruments, arranges the music, and has been writing songs since he started playing the guitar in the mid 80's.

The songs chosen for this album represent some of the best he has written over that period of time, about a variety of subjects, including deep friendship, (Song For A Friend) 14 years relationship with his partner, Linda, (So Right), travel (Motor Man and How About That) the sadness of war (Johnny and Desert Storm) spiritual ideas (Ghost In The Machine and The Silence)...

Tony mixes and masters the songs, separating the frequencies and bringing them up to broadcasting standard and also plays bass on the album.  He has been heavily involved in many aspects of the local (Timaru) music scene for decades and is well respected for his audio engineering abilities with sound mixing and music production.

Together these guys have pooled their talents to create this fine example of Kiwi Ingenuity, created on a shoestring budget and with grit determination and belief in the end product envisioned, the end result they both consider has proved worth that time and effort and of which they are genuinely proud to have made.

The recent release of their album through a distributor onto the popular web platforms has been the first step, as well as having this website built https://jig.nz/ and focusing on now learning the ropes on how to get airplay through radio. All stepping stones as means of trying to get the music noticed by the general public.

Tony and William are already working on album two - (Tied To The Moon) and to date have enough original songs for another six 12-song albums.  
Making these albums is their primary focus at this stage.  Promoting their first album released, is part of that overall project.

For Ghost In The Machine Tony and William enlisted the help of Saxophonist Brain 'The Sax Man' Omundsen for inclusion in some of the album songs.  They hope to  encourage other session muso's to contribute to their next albums, as the future unfolds.

Many Thanks also have to go out to the people who developed the Cubase software used as our main digital studio, as well as the developers of Addictive Drums, which without - this album could not have been created as it was, in the comfort and less expensive environment of the home studio.

Mostly many thanks to JIG supporters behind the scenes.  You know who you are.  We love You all!

Thank you for listing to my heart songs,
My songs are relatively basic recordings. I’m grateful the resonance of intention flows in that regard, but I hope to record professionally soon.
