First recording for a while, part of a collection of new tunes written in a half-sleep state. Please excuse the grainy quality, and the  3-week-old who gurgles halfway through.

Church Bell

01 Bit of Zen EP

The Help That You Need

written and recorded live, back in 2009/2010. An old demo that I recorded on a voice recorder/dictaphone thing. 

Learning A Lesson

It has always seemed to be that you met me some lifetime before,
And we have been spinning towards each other for quite some time.
And it had once occurred in my mind just how hard you were to find,
And how you always have been here for quite some time.

Forgive me if when I spill these thoughts you squirrel yours away.
Forgive me if I tread on you; you are the red and I'm the grey.

I cannot eat, my teeth have gone soft,
And yet my eyes remain so bright,
My balance is impeccable- you keep me upright

Forgive me if when I spill my thoughts you squirrel yours away
Forgive me if I tread on you; you are the red and I'm the grey.

You are so gentle, I don't know my own strength.
I never meant to scare you or knock you off your branch.
I've been trying to be myself, but when you're near I don't know who I am.
I don't know who I am.

Forgive me if when I spill these thoughts you squirrel yours away
Forgive me if I tread on you; you are the red and I am the grey.

Outside there are fireworks,
Do you mind if I hide with you?
I have never felt more safe and yet to unnerved by how much I feel for you

Oh forgive me if when I spill these thoughts you squirrel yours away
Forgive me if I tread on you; you are the red and I am the grey.

Squirrelaway(demo)

Lakes that gape(Demo)

A new ditty in progress, hoping to shine it up and release on a wintery album. We'll see if it gets done before the Spring.

Where The Cold Is Setting In (rough single-take demo)

Last song of 2016- I think spring will come early next year. Or late.

Light On The Desk - rough demo (again)

This was written on the Gillotone- a harp that Cam T Crook made for me. My first attempt at messing about with a beautiful instrument that was fashioned from an oak mantelpiece.

Harpdemo

Newest track, and first proper taster of what's to come with this new album.

Plottingpoints2012

From the ever-progressing album recordings. This was a one-day project, started today, finished today. Should have been outside really in the sunshine, but this has kept me happily occupied.
Made with voice, classical guitar and gillotone, recorded on trusty old Tascam using audacity.

It's a kind of nocturne, I guess. The idea came to me last night.
Thanks for listening :)

(This album's going to be 50 tracks long at this rate. Help.)
