ONLY LOVE

Work took 3 months; A personal favourite of mine that feels commanding and vibrant.. Designed to work around the heavily EQ'd vocals to give the feel of commanding war tones over a Tannoy in a Russian village feel...( VEry wafty I know but one that strikes me alot of the time). Over the course of the 2.5 minute verse/ chorus I wanted the sections to feel cohesive and be in song format, again as Land of The proud to outline the chorus with the bass ends of the orchestra and piano. The programming to remain simple as well as the intervals to to build with the top line... 
ARP2600, Vienna symphonic Orchestra, MiniMoog, Prophet V, Waves Plug-INs, Pro Tools Programming..

The song is about the "energy" given out by someone in their actions... a symbioses between two people whereby the output of of one fuels the others actions... it challenges the thought that the drive given by others or your words is not necessarily good or wanted but a benefit nonetheless... A verbal drug if you will, good for neither party but essential to bother to live life to its fullest. The song also touches upon the aspect of being able to frame someone with words.. This verbal drug given out by people who are able to paint a vivid third party picture of the lives of others, a picture that may be abided by and followed if projected in the correct manner... A subject that I have often tried to take an outer body view on and has lead me down some odd roads..

ETERNITY

Collaboration with Durham based producer Preqwal. Wanted to hark back to early 90's Triphop with some more hi-fi beats bringing it into the 21C....

Their Souls -- Preqwal ft Jamie Leftarm

WELCOME TO LEFTARM

Right... so I haven't put out a song in a little while and firing up the hardware to find that the power harness on my Pro Tools desk is as the German's would say..."Kaput". I have to switch the damn thing on and off 10 times an hour so no real recording head space was attained... Having listened to a lot of E.L.O, The Beegees and Whitney Houston I wanted the track to be a bit of a wafter... got bored for the second verse and decided to speak....blah blah blah... the lyrics are detritus (as par usual)... Moog Little Phatty. Moog Voyager . Vienna Symphonic Orchestra.. Waves EQ.. Waves IR Reverb.. Albino by Rob Papen... Auto tune... URS EQ... Vintage Warmer compression... PSP Nitro doubler...

Over

IN for the long haul...Recently running Jupiter V8 which has been a fantastic synth straight outta the bocks (sorry no "ecks" on my keyboard...sigh). The upper mid ranges are not quite as forward as I would like but the lower mids are so tasty and really do a great job of framing the vocals and adding weight to the drums... again provided by BFD2. This song has been sitting around in my arsenal for sometime and with the new syths I managed to quickly get it pumping... Really pleased with how this one turned out, smooth and not to cheesy but uplifting. On a slightly different note, happy that Chelsea are in the Champions League final and I dedicate this song to the boys....Right back to the start of summer hockey season as am putting on a few pounds from the Macdonalds Monopoly challenge (by the way, I am in possesion of Park Lane, so if anyone has Mayfair I promise to split the bounty.

Kind Regards
