Getting carried away with string samples.....

Comparison (Part 2 - Cello)

Wrote this for Andy for Valentine's Day this year. One of those, 'had an idea on a bus' songs - and 40 minutes later, the basic structure and sequencing was completed.

Still need to get around to finishing the lyrics to the ruddy thing AND finishing the guitar parts... Will get there eventually, which ironically, is what the song is about.

Never Let Me Go (Demo)

I Believe (Early Demo - No Vocal)

Originally started working on this back in 2005, the aim being to try and expand on my idea of "ambient wallpaper" but with slightly more structure. This is the latest mix, prior to the vocal track going on. I'm quite pleased with the really processed, minimalist guitar solo towards the end....

Sirens

Another one from the "Ambient Wallpaper/Music for Dinner Parties" collection. This piece is again, something I've been fiddling with for a while - the basic idea was to take the chord structure from Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata - 1st Movement - and smear loads of analogue sequencers, which I never tire of, all over it. All of the sounds were synthesised using Arturia's MIGHTY appropriation of the classic Yamaha CS-80, Vangelis' signature synth.

Moonbathing

Knocked this one off this afternoon - always quite fancied having an incredibly pretentious, lengthy, ambient intro to a song that was in the making. The rest of the piece is the usual 3 and a half minute pop song shit that I continually strive to write. :-) This is a sort of ambient intro thing. I did warn you, I was feeling "ambient wallpaper".
