Thanks Justin vernon for writing sweet and sexy tunes for me to jam to.

Evocative, haunting and disturbing...low orchestral horns over a huge twisting warped sound effect moving into odd string techniques.

Song written for some friends' wedding. Lyrics based on true events, though don't expect to understand them— history references are mixed in with space/time mumbo in a barely intelligible replicated human vox.

There's nothing here now
But there is a river
A small canoe, the ghost of a boy
And a net
The fish have all died
Or been caught then eaten
And the boy is gone
Because you haven't been born
Not yet

The river's not really there
It's deceiving
It never seems to change
But it's actually a blur
Because the river, she never stays
She's always leaving
And as she goes
You're just another ghost to her

There's a marker by the shore now
But not really
For a town that washed away
If you were there
There are ghosts of streets,
The horses, and the buildings
And the flood that came and took them away
Somewhere

The river, it has a start
And then an ending
But it is never really there, it's more of a "when"
The only way to ever really see the river
Is to close your eyes
and then you have to jump in
You have to jump in.

Not a River FINAL

Sounds from Tuesday evening

There is talk of space mining
the parsing of asteroids
and the drilling through of rocks

(as they float to some gentle tune
amongst a sky not at all a sky
speckled mostly black
but a piece of space as far as the eye can see 
caught in the cinema of its memory
of you and me).

For a moment more than most
I see the past and the future
and the many films
that show ourselves mostly lost
and involve the metaphor of mining
in some low-gravity world
which harbors bad things

(the virus of resentment
and of lonely men undone).

Even as I consider this
and want to shout silently
that’s far enough Goddammit
I also know I’m calling out against
the ceiling of my own space

(nothing more).

More than that

Calm Down

TLMI Orlando Follow Up

The back catalogue! Recorded by the amazing Al Steele of Shabbey Road Studios, Wales in about 1995. Written in the early 90s after trying to give some fellow-musicians some expenses only to find I had no money. Unnder these circumstances - in the UK -  our ATMs display "Sorry, There Are Insufficient Funds In Your Account". I decided a song about the banking system might be fun. Strangely enough, still seems pretty relevant and is my most-requested original song at gigs.

Sorry There Are Insufficient Funds In Your Account

Again, produced by Al Steele. Yes, I listen to alot of Donald Fagen. I wrote this in the mid-nineties after reading High Fidelity by Nick Hornby (hence the vinyl sound at the beginning). My first go on a real analogue synth, too - think it was a Korg. Monophonic and went out of tune. Sounded brilliant!!
