Our second foray into Regressive Rock - a version of Mötorhead's speed metal classic for recorder group. Not sure what this sounds like, but there's some interesting use of extended techniques for the solo ;-)

Ace of Spades (Recorder version)

I am very proud of this CD, which brings together all my important works for piano and recorder: Imibala yenjabulo, Tell them I've had a wonderful life, Cádiz, and the Three Sad Songs! 

Cádiz is located in Andalusia, on the southern Spanish Atlantic coast. It was founded by Phoenician seafarers around 1100 BC, making it the oldest continuously inhabited city in Western Europe. Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, and Spaniards ruled the city and ran trade from there. The old town overlooking the sea with its centuries-old ensemble of the fortress, the town hall, the watchtowers, theaters, churches, and cathedrals reminds us of a fairytale. Manuela de Falla and Paco de Lucía were born here. This fascinating place inspired me to write the Suite CADIZ, of which you here can listen to the third movement. ALONE ON THE SHORE  is a lamenting song, the melody complains about a painful loss - the piano accompanies thoughtfully, asks questions, hears the recorder answer, listens thoughtfully, and insists on always the same rhythm.

My biggest thanks to Chris Orton who recorded this album with me in June 2022 in Warsaw. We released it on December 1. You can listen to this track for free this weekend! You can order the CD on my website:

Alone On The Shore

Don’t fuck with pc 🤣🤘🏻💜🤘🏻

Obssessed with me possessed by me 
Eaten up by jealousy
You twist and turn you sweat you ache
Lying awake wishing you could be me
Silent seething you can’t sleep
Stomach turns when you try to eat 
When you sing you only shout 
Vitriolic hate you spout

No harmony for you my friend 
No melody no never again
No harmony for you my friend 
You haven’t met my demon yet

Distracted me with needy greed 
I no longer let you feed
You scratch and claw dig your own grave
Lying in the dirt wishing you could be me
Wishing you could be me 
Ripped the scales from off my eyes
I see now how you sucked me dry
Leave you drowning in desire
Sick and twisted heart afire 
Burn burn burn 

No harmony for you my friend 
No melody no never again 
No harmony for you my friend 
You haven’t met my demon yet 

You curse my name I do the same 
Again and again and again 
Who’s left standing ? 
At the end …..

Cursed

Imposter was written about feeling as though you don’t belong, feeling like you are not enough and feeling invisible in a room of talented people. This is a message that is universal and affects people outwith the music industry, it affects everyone. This song was a way for Eve to express this feeling in a scenario where she felt this way, and she wrote this song to remind herself that she isn’t an imposter in these scenarios, while allowing others to be able to relate to this, using this song as a reminder that they are also
not an imposter.

I can see the world around 
locked in silence not a sound
to say i love you would be cruel
you stand there staring at me 
like a fool
i love you hate you feel you come inside you 
squeeze you tell the world youve died youve
run youve fled to the unknown
i turn you to stone ..i turn you to stone

something breaks inside my head
feel the snap.
cuts me down ...
inside i ache for something new
all this time i bleed for you

i stone you bruise you 
make me want to use you 
burn you freeze you fuck you kill you
crying into the unkown
i turn you to stone

im not drowning 
im just drinking 
im sleepwalking
did you think youd be the one...to wake me
did you think youd be the one to wake me up?

Sleepwalking- purpleclairexHOBOCOP

Welcome back to another Recorder31 interview. For the second of our Side-By-Side interviews, we have an interesting discussion between two people who are no strangers to representing the recorder in the online world. The interview includes discussions of creating engaging content, along with perceptions of the recorder in different contexts.

Otto Hashmi is a London-based musician and composer, whose work spans genres ranging from contemporary classical to electronic pop. He recently graduated with a Masters in recorder from the Guildhall School in London. Richard Lindesay is a comedian from Australia who is perhaps best known for an appearance on Britain's Got Talent earlier in 2024. His use of recorder to augment his routines and songs has built him a loyal fanbase.

As two musicians who largely (but not exclusively) operate outside of the classical realm, this interview is a very interesting chance to consider the extended reach of the instrument, and how its representation in different contexts can influence people's understanding and feelings towards it.

Recorder31 is our annual recorder festival taking place in our stores and online at www.earlymusicshop.com

The Outcast Frequency
An hour of music, myth & mayhem for the misfits, hosted by the mysterious masked presenter Master of Mischief.

The Outcast Frequency dives headfirst into the underground, spotlighting the best unsigned and up-and-coming alternative artists from across the known universe (and beyond). From emo and punk to goth, metal, industrial, and experimental indie, every broadcast tunes in to the sounds of rebellion, heartbreak, and catharsis that define life on the fringe.

But this isn’t just another playlist or show, it’s a journey. Each episode blends storytelling, chaos, and discovery through signature segments designed to make the misfits feel at home:


About the Presenter
Behind the mask lurks the Master of Mischief, an anonymous UK-based artist who crafts dark electronic anthems with an emo heart. Shrouded in secrecy but rooted in truth, the Master has lived the struggles of the unsigned artist: the uphill battles, the unseen brilliance, the hunger to be heard. That lived experience fuels his mission to amplify the voices of fellow outsiders, making him the perfect guide through the shadows of the underground. Instagram @masterofmischiefofficial

Just A Song

Our own text based around the word 'nihil'. The vocals are meant to sound like plainchant, and this is another experiment in mixing recorders and electronics - this time meant to be in a darkwave style.
