Crit

A relaxing instrumental piece with only guitar and synth. I dedicated this to a good Dutch friend of mine. He had to unfortunately return to his home-country after a stay of 2-years in my country, South Africa

Wave to Frank

Late one night at our holiday home I decided to take my mobile recording set-up to close to the beach, wanted to hear more of the sea, but alas. The mic is too good. This is a totally improvised classical piece.

Late night goodwill day beach vibes

Improv on classical guitar - layered one track over. Was recorded on the beach early morning here at 2 AM I think. I like that you can hear how windy it was then.

Recording on beach - late night early morning

Track 2 of Freetown's demo EP, a band I was part of in 2011. We were a great band, Dee, Thomas, James and I, and it's a shame that we didn't continue making further music, but everyone finished their university studies and went separate ways.

This song features Lise Morrison (check out her Soundcloud at @lise-morrison) on piano.

Freetown - Marlon Brando

I liked the classical guitar riff I figured out and then I just sang a melody and some words spontaneously. I liked what I heard and then refined the lyrics.

There are two vocal tracks, each separated by a few milliseconds creating a chorus, tiny-slapback echo effect.

I like songs that tend to destruction towards the end of the song and that's what I tried to achieve here.
