After another year off (university studies getting in the way), I returned to the mixing box (Zoom MRS-8) with a head full of metal ideas. This was the drop-D result.

Catharticity

After taking about a year off seriously recording guitar-music, in 2007 I returned to it with a collection of some of the ideas I had had over the break. Mixed and recorded on a Zoom MRS-8, through my then-new Boss GT-8 pedal. 

Prodigal

From 2005, when I started taking music writing a little more seriously, but only had a Zoom MRS-4, and no keyboard/midi/computer, so it was all-guitar because of necessity and my then lack of scope. The guitar pedal I used to use was a Zoom GFX-707, a great little pedal for the price I paid :)

Storm through a window

My second oldest song on here (from 2004), a collections of riffs I had accumulated in F#, with some experimentation on a computer game, called "Music 2000".

Half - dream

This is the oldest song of mine on here, made in 2003 on a "computer game" called "Music 2000" - I miss that game!

Heartbeat

A remix of a friend of mine's song: "Trust me to dwell and obsess". I took the vocals from the original, and tweaked them to my heart's content. Music and production my own. I had a great time touching this one up, fiddling with effects and trying to make it as creepy as possible. I hope you enjoy it!

Trust Me to Dwell and Obsess

An experiment with various ambient guitar techniques that evolved into this track.

Beam Of Light

A remix of the Utopia Overture for the remix project (original by Cristobal Tapia De Veer); it has been uploaded by SilvaScreen under "Utopia Overture (Donkey Mix)". Play loud!

Utopia Donkey

Ode To Emily (Steaming To Bristol)

I had great fun remixing this track on my humble home set up. Can't say I'm the best at production - always hungry to learn - but this was a fab way to get the creative juices flowing in lockdown. Thanks Warren, ProduceLikeAPro and DraggedUnder for creating this opportunity.
