it's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)- R.E.M. cover

This one has been well and truly superseded by the new version  my band has recorded, but I'll let it stay here as a reminder of where it came from. Guitars, bass, and vocals by myself, drums c/o Garageband.

Don't Think We're Dancing (2017 demo)

A quick solo runthrough of one of my favourite early, oft-overlooked Dylan songs. False modesty aside, I'm really rather pleased with this one.

Tomorrow is a Long Time - Bob Dylan cover

Screamager (acoustic)- Therapy? cover

My take on one of my favourite Prince songs. I wouldn't dare to so much as attempt a straight imitation (although I did at one point try for a falsetto vocal - the outcome was "not as bad as you're probably thinking, but still not quite fit for consumption"), so it's a more skuzzed-up punk/guitar effort.

When U Were Mine - Prince cover

Barbara Allen (trad., arr. MNP)

Mercy Street (acoustic)- Peter Gabriel cover

The mic levels max out slightly on the last couple of notes of the vocal, but on the whole, I'm fairly pleased with this one.

Guitar, vocals, and harmonica by Mark Neil Patterson.

Base Creature (acoustic demo, 2018)

Blind Willie McTell - Bob Dylan cover (acoustic)

She Moved Through The Fair - trad., arr. MNP

Oslo-based songwriter/guitarist. Currently primarily working with my new band, The Novichok Projekt, so this page is mostly just an archive of my older solo recordings. A selection of demos (to varying degrees of completion), and a few home-recorded covers, largely for my own entertainment.

Mostly acoustic folky stuff, with occasional dashes of something a little bit rockier, and occasional dabbles into ambient/post-rock noise.
