Another Manky song with lyrics by Laurence, this one is about the emotion of writing to his birth mother. As well as singing Laurence plays lead guitar on this and came up with a beautiful guitar melody for it.

Monkey Mind Rough Mix (Manilla Filters feat. Disposable Man)

This is one of the earliest electronic tracks i wrote and was inspired by by Erik Satie's Gymnopedies.  I loved the dreamy feel and simplicity of these piano pieces.  Erik Satie was a maverick, his music was widely criticised and scorned by criticsat the time, with some even daring to suggest he could not compose.  Yet to me and indeed many others over the 150 odd years since there is a graceful beauty and simplicity in his Gymnopedies. He can arguably be called the father of Minimalism as one can see a direct link between his compositions and the work of 20th century minimalist composers such as Terry Riley and Phillip Glass and the amibient works of Brien Eno and Aphex Twin.

Lullaby For Erik

Final arrangement of Wonky Thoughts, a song about depression and what Cognitve Behavioual Therapists term 'Common Thinking Errors', hence Wonky Thinking.  My thanks to Debbie for inspiring me to write this. Lyrics below.

Wonky thougts
Washing over me
Eyes cast down
I walk so small

Too tired to sleep
Too crushed to try
Overwhelmed
I'm paralysed

Wonky thoughts
Increase their hold
Fear and doubt
Cripple heart and soul

Stumble on
I can't decide
Undermined
Nothing is right

Wonky thoughts
Now in control
See no light
Anxiety grows

Darker thoughts
Exact their toll
Feeling numb
I want to end it all

Wonky Thoughts

Influenced by Radiohead's more glitchy stuff and recorded as much as possible "in the box" with Ableton Live. Version 2 has tweaked vocals and adjusted levels.

Lockstep (Version 2)

I love all kinds of music and compose and play as often as I can, which is not as much as I'd like.  If you like what I do, or you think I'll like what you do let me know.

Wonky Thoughts
