Welcome to my Soundcloud Page. I am a songwriter based in St Helens, a town in the Northwest of the UK.
You will find songs in a singer-songwriterly vein, written and recorded by me, taking in a range of musical genres,  alt/indie rock songs recorded by The (Now Legendary) Maybees in the 1990s, some classical sounding music by The Lucem Symphonia, as well as banging EDM/electronic tunes by Casaubon and a few mixes of a collaboration with Bentcousin,. Unknown Unknown is another alias I have used for one release and Firenze Anemones is a new project. Most recently, I have collaborated with Massachusetts composer Betsy Breitborde on The Ghosts of Christmas Past.
Whether it's plainly a demo or a painstakingly mastered recording, I hope you enjoy what you hear. Please leave comments and don't be afraid to get in touch, I am always interested in getting feedback and connecting with other lovers of music. If you want to download anything, many of the finished recordings are available on Bandcamp and an increasing number are on all of the usual digital platforms. If you use other platforms, you can find music from me (and some others) there under the names:
Terry Naylor
Casaubon
The Lucem Symphonia

Experimenting with electronic beats, samples, synths and some spoken word

I’m a singer-songwriter from Derbyshire. All songs on here are demos. Just recorded on my phone or iPad. I have songs also on philbus.bandcamp.com . Also on YouTube at @Philbus77 . I’m also on instagram at @philbus850 . My email is philbus850@gmail.com . 
    I love bands like Crowded House, Embrace, Depeche Mode, New Order and singer-songwriters like Josh Ritter, Josh Rouse, Neil Young, Kara Jackson and also all of the girls from Boygenius. Please check out my new album Tales on www.philbus.bandcamp.com
   I have been writing songs since I was about 10 years old, maybe even a bit longer as I can recall being younger than that and strumming a toy guitar and singing some sort of melody. I can play the keys a little bit and that’s where I write my songs at the keyboard, because I don’t have a band behind me, at the moment songs are recorded using keyboard presets as backing music with me singing over into my iPad. 
  I’m in the process of changing my setup and will soon start using a laptop and a keyboard to make hopefully a more unique sound, at least I hope more professional.
  I hope that you enjoy my music, that’s why I make it, because I enjoy it and I want other people to as well.
  Thanks, from Philbus, or Phil if you want to be more personal.

Play the Sax a bit. I really like to get up and dance.

A small amount of chaos is now on Twitter  (although the rancid horror of that place under the repellent owner will force a relocation, with BlueSky looking the most likely...)

We got thrown off TikTok because the 52 second runtime of our track Big Band Theory was quite correctly perceived as being of 'prog-rock dinosaur proportions'; chastened by this, we are now here instead.
