Between The Bars (Elliot Smith)

I've definitely found my own genre now; this track blends elements of ska, funk, soul and rock in the exact balance I had been looking for. I will most likely rework the previous demos to match this instrument/production balance when I add vocals.

The Abandoned Demos - #5

A slower song that other demos, and influenced much more by The Littlest Man Band.


The Abandoned Demos - #6

I'm very happy with this one. I borrowed a melody from a quartet I wrote a few years back, and it may be a little hyperactive, but what do you expect - I wrote it.

The Abandoned Demos - #7

The verses sound a bit bare, but that's because there are no vocals as of yet. Ending will probably merge with another song, but here's a temporary ending.

The Abandoned Demos - #8

This has some ridiculous time signatures, so took me more than 20 attempts to record... but.... I got there (sort of)

Niveous Haze

2017

Prelude - Augmenting Azure

I've had this in my head for the last 9 days, so it was about time I wrote it down and tried to record it. It's a bit chaotic, and definitely not played as well as it could be, but... I needed it to stop looping in my brain

Prodromic Fantasy (in Db Minor)

The Book of Love (The Magnetic Fields)

Messenger Bird's Song (Bright Eyes)

Mostly unfinished demos from the last few years, and now a place to dump anything else I record...

Tending to develop styles of music that have influenced me most, particularly ska/punk, classical, soul, funk and baroque pop.

To emphasise how 'solo' this solo project of mine was, I decided to name my backing band after me, since the backing band... well, it is me. The 'Eponym Extras' assist Ike with every stage of songwriting, recording and production.
