Bit of fun with Miles Runs the Voodoo Down from Bitches Brew. Listen to the original its much better!  See this as a short trailer introduction.

Voodoo Hoodoo

Samples from the album People Like Us by Mamas and Papas to create a summery little instrumental.

Snow Hopper

A less upbeat track than of late - and a return to some of the sounds I have used on the minilogue XD previously (That Dark Voice...).  Interpret what you want from the title and the tone of it.

Persistent

Hope it enables a bit of relaxation and mindfulness.

The Parrog

Lung

Sprawling soundscape - using Synth-1 pedal and pitch shifter

Lung Part 2

Another song based on slow rhythms and (hopefully) trancelike feel.

Lung Part 3

Just (the past catching up with you)

Lung (Parts 1 to 3)

Drawing In

A bit upbeat - Started as a riff used in the background of Lung Part 3 

I need a fuzzy guitar solo after the break and before the horns - but I can't do one that works - any offers let me know.  Or perhaps it just needs vocals?

Fain Bridge

Crawlers

Recovering

Samples of Ray Conniff's version of Beguin the Beguine and The Hustle

In The Beginning (Hustle)

Based on 'Duran' by Miles Davis with snippets of 'Blues for Basie' by McCoy Tyler and some Ray Conniff for good measure (The Hustle/I Only Have Eyes For You and I Found Something New).  Go listen to the originals of Duran and Blues for Basie.    

I Know If It's Cloudy (Duran)

St Ishmael, where you can see a medieval village eroding from the sand dunes.

St Ishmael

Ginst Point

Dogfael

There Is Time

That Dark Voice In The Back Of Your Head

A tune for insomniac cat lovers.
Remixed because it was too harsh and thus not as relaxing as I intended
And yet again so I could put my recently mended 12 string on it and generally remix it / change a few things

Goodnight Meg

Dyffryn Oer

A piece based on an improvisation.
Somewhat different to my other stuff - more like Ginst Point.

Realisation / Self Belief

Musical statement on the arrogance and absurdity of a bunch of people more concerned about short term effects on the economy and lining their own pocket rather than accepting the facts about climate change.  They are ridiculously gambling that their ideas and concepts are correct and that all will be well in the future - most of them will be dead by the time it all goes to hell and there will be no one to be held accountable.

The Climate Change Denier

A track based on an improvisation evening I did with Andy Isham in the mid 1990s - Andy on percussion and me on bowed acoustic guitar.  Been messing about with it for years - probably change it again at some point. And another Invader mosaic from Ravenna, Italy.

Ishameek - 1996 - 2019

An instrumental version of the 'How Dare You' part 2 version of the Climate Change Denier

The Climate Change Denier Part 2

Atmosphere of three 19th century shipwrecks on the banks of the Afon Leri, in the Dovey Estuary, Ceredigion in the early 19th century

The Wrecks

Messing about with a sampler and this sort of just happened.  Elements of Alone Again by Gilbert O'Sullivan.  Almost upbeat / or is it?

Sour

Bugs Blues Creatures

Totally self indulgent - but a necessary tool

Blur redg ri ef

Frozen Splinters

Samples from A Salty Dog by Procul Harem - a fantastic and beautiful haunting song.

Harbour Town (A Salty Dog)

Enjoy music of all sorts and like to create my own.  I may not be very talented, but I have fun.
Really enjoy the Soundcloud community - much of the music is exceptional!
Very glad to be part of it.
Thank you for any listens, any likes and any comments.  
I appreciate them all.
