A short song loosely based on a real guy I worked with in a CD/Record store. He was one of those guys who knew everything in their musical area of interest, from the most obscure to commercial. C'mon, you've met this guy!
From the album "Röckers" (2024)

Lyrics:
Are you looking for some metal?
You're gonna have to wait around for a while
Are you looking for some metal?
Yeah, you're gonna have to wait around

For record store Eric
Cause that's his section
And he's possessive about it
Record store Eric
He knows all the metal that you need
Whether it's Screamo
On Japanese Imports
Death metal blue?
Just write down what you want
On a Post-It
I swear
He's gonna call you back
He's gonna call you back

Record store Eric
He's a rock & roll cleric

Ahh, well, we don't touch anything in his section
He says
Eric: "Just keep it in the backroom."
Eric:  " I'll shelve it when I get in."

He knows all the metal bands that you want
If you want a band from the 90s
Put out one album
On Sub Atomic Records
From Reseda
His hair line's receding!
Record store Eric
Rock & Roll cleric
If you want Nu-Metal
Eric: " Why the hell would you want that?"

Record Store Eric

This song I wrote in collaboration with Lance of LT Guitar from Soundcloud! Check him out, he's plays a mean guitar! I wrote the lyrics, played some percussion, added some sound effects, and sang it! (that alone will scare anybody!) Lance wrote and played all the music! It has a cool vibe to it and it was a lot of fun to put together. I worked hard on the video and it's pretty disturbing so fair WARNIG to all of those that don't like horror movies. This is my first video for the month of October that is Halloween themed. Up next will be videos about, Vampires, Demons, Zombies, Suicide, Monsters, on and on, you get the picture, and how cool is that? No love songs or feel good videos in this month but in November and December the corniness will return with a vengeance! I wrote a new song while on vacation in Colombia called "Clouds", it will take me a while to record but it sounds really cool in my head! Happy to be back, Cheers!

“HOW COOL IS THAT?”

I'M THINKIN' 'BOUT,
CRUELTY AS A DETERRENT,
WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?  
BRING BACK THE RACK TO MAKE SURE THERE’S NO RESURGENCE,             
BET THAT WOULD SKIN THEIR CAT,
HMMM, HOW COOL IS THAT?      

TRYING TO MAKE A LITTLE MONEY,
TO SOME IT'S SICK, TO ME IT'S JUST FUNNY,
I'LL MAKE IT RAIN UP IN HERE HONEY,
WELL, HOW COOL IS THAT?
     
I MIGHT HAVE SEEN IT,
IN A TARANTINO MOVIE?
SOMETHING HE LIKES TO DO,
A LTTLE BLOOD WITH A TWIST THAT COULD BE GROOVY,
A MISSING HEAD OR TWO, 

BETTER BEHAVE OR I'LL BREAK EVEN BADDER,
FEEDING THE KITTY IS ALL THAT MATTERS,
THE POOR GET KILLED WHILE THE RICH GET FATTER,
WATCH HOW I MAKE ALL THESE MOTHERS SCATTER,               
HOW COOL IS THAT? HOW COOL IS THAT HONEY?

I’M THINKIN' 'BOUT,
FOOLIN’ THE BRAINLESS MASSES,       
MUST BE EASY AS PIE,
PROMISE THE WORLD THEN LEAVE THEM FLAT ON THEIR ASSES,
THEY'LL SWALLOW EVERY LIE,
MAN, HOW COOL IS THAT? 
HOW COOL IS THAT?
HOW COOL IS THAT? 
HONEY HOW COOL IS THAT?
HOW COOL IS THAT?

Latest Updates: 
Have been remastering some of my 'unloved' tracks from the past here on SC - music which has not received as many plays as I would have expected. Maybe 2nd time around your might like it.
The 2025 remastered tracks are being readied for my best of 2025 album in 2026, available January 2026.
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.
All my albums in full quality are available on Bandcamp, please check out the link below.
Have recently taken a short holiday to recharge my batteries and top up my creative juices. Thank you to all my followers for your continued support and encouragement, means the world to me.
Over 10K minutes uploaded, over 1500 tracks - am sure there is something in there for everybody to enjoy. I love making music. Hope it matters to you.
Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic. 
Thank you for all your kind comments and support throughout 2024 I do appreciate it. Stay safe and love each other.
All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set. (Now available on Bandcamp). 2020 consists of a 3 volume set (now available on Bandcamp).
If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
