Left alone in a room with only an 8-track ministudio and a single electric ukulele, I pondered the possibilities. No other instrument is used, apart from what you see in the picture. I'd also spent a lot of time listening to Pink Floyd's new album, and catching up on my Mike Oldfield... That should give you a clue what to expect.
(Sorry about the drum machine.. I just couldn't be arsed on a fun piece.)

Jay Bailey - Electric Ukulele

Original composition for 2 guitars (both me in this instance), written in memory of my beloved pet dog, Tarot. A beautiful bitter-sweet, haunting tune. 

Tarot

"They are lean and athirst!" he shrieked... "All the evil in the universe was concentrated in their lean, hungry bodies. Or had they bodies? I saw them only for a moment, I cannot be certain."
—Frank Belknap Long, "The Hounds of Tindalos"

Remixed Demo version... Homage to the great instrumental tracks on 80's metal albums.
Original Composition - All guitar and bass played by me.  Drums played by a mindless automaton (as usual!)

The Hounds Of Tindalos

Chilled out piece for 2 guitars. Improvised one track in one take, then noodled over it, Original composition by me. Kinda floaty. All done in 2 hrs on a Sunday afternoon, oddly enough.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon Chill

Recorded using only my electric uke. 8-track, and jaffa cakes.
Arabic riff, that crashes into a metal cacophony..... Strange stuff happens in my brain. X

Attack Of The Camels (Electric Ukulele)

Crazy take on James Bond Theme, using only an electric ukulele and a hip hop beat. NOT the new film title music!

Electric Ukulele - Spectre

Full-on metal epic, recorded using just an electric uke, and an 8-track... An Inexorable dirge about lamenting getting old... x

Electric Ukulele - The Cruelty Of Time

Ukulele instrumental with a Spanish flavour. :)

La Balada Del Diablo

Hypno - Subliminal

A project to explore the versatility of the Ukulele. To take it away from it's traditional, acoustic roots, and let it experiment with new sounds and genres, while still retaining it's inherent fun sense of humour and playfulness.
