The Ass in the Graveyard/The First Hype Cowboy Division

An improvised slow air surrounding 'Bouncing off The Clouds' by Brian Lamond, all over a synthesised backing track and accompanied by a side of seasonal roast vegetables.

Bouncing off the Clouds

Muddy Colours - Fun With Loops

Zeeto the Bubbleman

Upside-down at Eden Court

Ok, so its not really very dubstep at all but I'm drawing on the half time beat and the fact that the back beat remains constant to give it this title. A little bit psychedelic, but the guitar is mainly blues. I'm still learning and my guitar has improved a lot since I recorded this a while ago, however, for some reason I like this; its not perfect, but that gives it a quality that I actually enjoy listening to. 
The background tune is loosely based on a modern bagpipe reel that I recreated on my electric pipes and then squeezed out of my synth.
Very long, I know. Stays the same, I know. But listen to it in the background of what ever you are doing. At first I thought no, way to long! But the more I listen to this piece, the more I like it.
Looking to put it somewhere in the middle of my planned album, 'Brainwaves', which will revolve around my recent brain aneurysm and the ensuing experiences. 
Enjoy... (Hopefully)

Another one possibly for 'Brainwaves'. Unfinished work though.
Title stems from the dichotomy of my feelings concerning a hat my dead grandfather used to wear. Even though it is a rather beaten up and old there is something rather cool about it and for me it represents a (possibly fictional) side of my grandfather that I never knew, hence the groovyness of the piece, and yet it also brings on rather sombre feelings due to his death, hence the laid backedness of the guitar solo.
Only problem is that these two parts don't work that well together as a whole and I fear that to achieve this I would have to extend this piece until it was rather large and consisted of many movements. Something that at the moment I am not motivated to do.
Then again I am rather proud of how I managed to get a nice groove out of the 7/8 time signature and even more proud of how I managed to create a solo  for it (although it is rather simple as I had only been playing guitar for about 3 months at the time of recording).
This piece is not finished, but I'm not working on it at the moment.

Grandad's Hat

Living in Wellington, New Zealand.
I started playing Highland Bagpipes at at around 9. I suffered a brain injury around in the middle of 2011 and started learning guitar more seriously after this, finding the pipes challenging. Am now back on my bagpipes but have shifted to predominantly quiet varieties of pipe including border and uilleann.
