Let’s Build a Rocket Ship

An epic 12-minute, double track blending progressive rock opera and hard rap with brass, woodwind and a striking short film is due to be released by a Kent singer, songwriter and bass player. 

Lenny Bunn, from Kent UK, is the former bass player with four-piece Indie/rock band Clacket Lane. The father-of-four, who launched a recording studio Kent last year, has teamed up with rap artist Jess Bond aka Meesta Bond and Colin O'Reilly of Ameba Films to produce Logan’s Autumn – combining a gritty look at the melting pot of today’s political picture with a second haunting track of loss.

Prompted by Donald Trump’s ‘fire and fury’ speech and partly named in reference to Grenfell Tower’s final victim, stillborn baby Logan, the first track is a critique of power being in the hands of controversial figures such as Trump.
Lenny, who has shared the stage with stars including Dizzy Rascal, Feeder, Razorlight, The Feeling and Scouting for Girls and launched solo album “& Friends” to critical acclaim in 2015, said: “Logan is my view on the crazy world we find ourselves currently living in and Autumn is a song about loss.

“They came about at the same time last year. I'd started Logan to put forward for a documentary brief, but I liked it a bit too much. I was setting myself targets as a writer and I remember thinking how I'd never covered politics or my view, I used to think that it was a bit above my station, however the world right now is anyone’s stage. It was on the day I saw the 'Fire and Fury' Trump speech I thought ‘that’s it...I can't not do it.’

“It is a reflection of people’s honest opinion on the state of world politics. People are genuinely concerned about all things political at the moment as it seems the lunatics have taken over the asylum.”

The opening of the track is reminiscent of big rock opera productions such as The Wall by Pink Floyd and Tommy by The Who but then is injected with rap lyrics from Jess Bond.
Father-of-four Lenny said: “From the outset I knew I would need a different outlook and I am, as a producer, always interested in crossing genres and working with other artists. I was very aware that without bringing in a younger outlook on what’s going on in the world, I would probably be seen as another middle-aged man moaning about politics. 

Kent rap and hip hop artist Jess, who describes the track as ‘a bit Pink Floyd, a bit Led Zeppelin,’ added: “The lyrics and the intro samples made it pretty easy for me to get started, dare to dream is a wonderful turn of phrase - dripping with irony when said by a politician- and that was that. I tried to convey the same sentiment as Lenny, taking steps back to try to look at a bigger picture where we as a race can, and have, reached incredible new heights yet the day Mars is colonised is the day we start warring on an interplanetary scale. 

The film created for the piece uses a striking collage of symbolic, modern day political and emotional imagery. It was shot in Folkestone, Dungeness and at Lenny’s studio tucked away on rural land in nearby Westenhanger, Kent UK.

Folkestone film producer Colin O’Reilly said: “When I first heard Lenny's unmixed track I jumped at the chance to be involved with this epic musical piece. The idea of a blank canvas was a real pulling point to let me unleash some symbolic visuals alongside Lenny's eclectic visual ideas.”

The second track – Autumn – is a personal reflection for Lenny based on the recent loss of family and friends.
Working with Arranger Tim Hagger on arrangements.

Lenny said: “Logan's Autumn is not a pop single, it’s a piece of music, I am no longer thinking I can make it as a pop star as I am too old, too ugly and I have a love for music that comes from the heart.

Logan's Autumn

A brand new song specifically designed to be the same length as the recommended amount of time children should brush their teeth. This song serves as an incentive for children who may be apprehensive about brushing twice a day. Educational and developmental goals were met with fun and engaging content in this project.

I will sit here a while
We'll watch the world guiltlessly
It's wicked and beautiful
It's distance and sympathy

There are feelings they've never held,
The feelings that glued our bones.
They're hungry for everything
And eaten by nothing known.

The colour of weight - 
There's nothing left in between
But skies keep me straight...
Not wasting their time
The skies don't tell me they are wasting their time
Not wasting their time
The skies don't tell me they are wasting their time. 

There's a hole in the cloud
A trail that is left untold
With the curve of our arms
And the shapes we can never hold.

The colour of weight - 
There's nothing left in between
But skies keep me straight...
Not wasting their time
The skies don't tell me they are wasting their time
Not wasting their time
The skies don't tell me they are wasting their time.

Colour of Weight (Song for Fran)

Here's a short excerpt of a mixture of genres and projects that I wrote/arranged music for as a composer.

Hanoi is a musical journey that I dedicate to the beautiful people of Hanoi.

This is a soundtrack for your travels...or your solitude.

I would especially like to dedicate this work to:

Anh Hoàng Đỗ
Nguyễn Phi Hưởng
Trịnh Quốc Vương and everyone at Enjo

Also especially for Le Thi Thanh Mai, my voice and cover girl (Thank you).

كلمه قبيحه - سلالم باند

I sang my heart out ... and spilled it all over the microphone ;-)

Caught In The Middle Of Thee …
Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esrZrvJOeGM

It took a lot of living, learning and letting go to create this song. I hope it touches you … from the bottom of my heart!

When life runs away with you and you get caught up in the whirlwind of time: „Wait for me, wait for me! I am caught in the middle of thee“

„Caught In The Middle Of Thee“ is a song that, to me, is pure feeling. It doesn’t need many words nor instruments and conveys its meaning solely with the voice.
It is an (almost) a cappella song venturing into the realm of ambient and gospel inspired ethereal sound atmospheres. 
The song is taking on the feeling of being caught in the middle of all the big questions of life like God’s existence, life’s meaning, and the question of the self. Like a storm we can’t see when we are caught in its eye, we can’t see clearly when we are right in the middle of life’s quests.

„Caught In The Middle Of Thee“ will be released on 19th October 2020 and will be joined by a remix by German ambient/downbeat artists Thomas Lemmer & Andreas Bach. The remix will be released on 2nd November 2020.

Thomas Lemmer & Andreas Bach about “Caught In The Middle Of Thee“:

„Valeska’s song „Caught In The Middle Of Thee“ immediately convinced us to create a remix of it. Her expressive voice and the emotions the song evokes touched us deeply. We imagined an organic sounding downtempo version with ambient influences as a remix. We wanted to support the overall mood of the song with an ethereal sound design and a love of detail. We love it when music has great depth and Valeska conveys it perfectly with her emotional voice.“
