I originally filmed and recorded this jam, but the camera screwed up during the the transfer, so here's the audio. Just an improvised launchpad set. Most electronic music hasn't got much variation by it's nature, especially if it's got a very particular complex path. By adding a load of delay I can just improvise this jam set- I can't play this piece the same way twice. I love that idea. 

Each time I play this piece, it will be unique. That's something that most electronic music never has. This isn't a record. It's a jam. (Shut up hippy.) 

I should be looking for a job (Launchpad Jam)

2 Hour Track Sunday Theme: Masticate Your Raffaella Hard and Unambiguously Juicy Banana

I don't know what I'm doing with this
(not) Not copying Bjork
Don't know where I'm going with this
never have I been to New York but I've been to Yorkshire
Which is slightly less glamorous than New York

[Chorus]

I'm a really tiny person, tiny in the sky
I'm a much bigger man, we don't see eye to eye
I'm a fucking giant, I tread you say goodbye
We are the borg, we are the borg, assimilate...
What the fuck am I doing?

[Chorus]

2HTS Theme: Masticate Your Raffaella Hard and Unambiguously Juicy Banana

I did an actual full-length track. Whodathunk...

Get The F*** Out Of My Pool

Things aren’t quite what I’m used to- And I 
sometimes feel completely lost- They say
Fake it till you make it- Got people asking 
How I always stay so cool
I lie-say “I’m a natural”

I feel like a pilot with no licence- slightly
Surprised blag got me his far
Stumbling through nerves ’n’ awkward desire to just run- 
Got people asking 
how I always seem so cool
I lie- “I’m just a natural”

Cos Nobody has it right
Everyones an idiot 
I’m just scraping by but
Nobody notices- cos they’re
Too busy caring about themselves 
To see my fuck ups- 
They’re too busy caring about themselves to know
I’m getting away with murder

Do the thing and you will have the power
Totally thought of that line myself… honest… (actually, I stole it from Teddy Roosevelt…)
I acted like I wasn’t afraid then I suddenly wasn’t afraid
Everyone wants to give me what I want, they just haven’t realised it yet
I’m gonna help them out

Getting Away With Murder

This was a 2-hour track Sunday tune I made having been assigned the unique randomized theme "Peculiar Sock." Didn't seem like the most serious theme, so I wrote accordingly.  

Lyrics: 

Who’s sock is this my darling? 
Tell me. what have you done? 
Where has my lover been and when? 
Have you been having fun? 

With strangers, frolicking in sheets 
Whilst I was out of town 
Or is it some best friend of mine 
Someone I brought around 

This sock has been on my head all day 
I’ve got the thing stuck in my brain
I need to know my love, 
need to know my love, 
need to know

It’s threads are like a spiders web to me 
From which my mind cannot break free
I need to know love, I need to know love, I need to know

Who’s sock is this my darling? 
I really must insist, 
you tell me right this instance, 
I won’t be having it. 

I bring you mutton and candy canes 
And other special things 
Is this how you repay me? 
With secrets, lies and flings?

2HTS Theme: Peculiar Sock

Thank you for applying to this role, unfortunately... (The Search)

Rhys had some cool ideas for an instrumental with a surfer vibe to it. He played his Jazzmaster through his pedal board with his handsome-sounding Vox. I mostly produced and played a little acoustic.

There's no drums in this. You don't deserve drums. No drums for you.

This is a song about having lots of fun on holiday.

2 Hour Track Sunday Theme: Vacation

2 HOUR TRACK SUNDAY, THEME: Machine Learning

The Paper Clip Maximiser

Person 1 had always hated the existence of Ipswich with its snotty, sticky strong features. It was a place where he felt indifferent.

He was an able to think, worthy of processing, bleach drinker with musty tendrils and oppressive nostrils. His friends saw him as a powerless, powerful post man. Once, he had even jumped into a river and saved a smooth vulnerabile creature. That's the sort of man he was.

Person 1 walked over to the window and reflected on his obviously there surroundings. The overcast teased like running imaginary friends.

Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Person 2 . Person 2 was a dreamy unreasonable with wagging tendrils and cooky nostrils.

Person 1 gulped. He was not prepared for Person 2.

As Person 1 stepped outside and Person 2 came closer, he could see the melted glint in her eye.

Person 2 gazed with the affection of 2497 wide joyous joe's. She said, in hushed tones, "I love you and I want closure."

Person 1 looked back, even more satisfied and still fingering the confirmed to be there memory bank. "Person 2, I will tell you what you're looking for," he replied.

They looked at each other with perplexed feelings, like two ancient, average ameba pushing at a very imaginative gathering, which had aphex twin-style music music playing in the background and two wholesome uncles dragging to the beat.

Person 1 regarded Person 2's wagging tendrils and cooky nostrils. "I feel the same way!" revealed Person 1 with a delighted grin.

Person 2 looked wondering, her emotions blushing like a pong, panicky processor.

Then Person 2 came inside for a nice drink of bleach.

THE END
