The Haunting

I was quite pleased with this one since it was all done in one take and made up on the spot. I didn't have recording facilities at the time so it went straight onto audio tape. Luckily it retained most of the quality.

Summer Song

An acoustic tune in the style of Adrian Legg, just not as clever :¬)

2 Corinthians 10:17

Having a Swift Half with Jesus

This is a fairly ambient incidental piece.

A thought for perspective - you are always what you most wish - the prospective! Your desire is to live according to your desire, and this you are always realizing! Most noble sentiment! - you are "it" already - "the satisfied" - "the desireless" - "the real thing"! You are drunk with it.

There is no illusion but consciousness! This consciousness is ever the smiling monument commemorating "Whether you ever really enjoyed Life"!  - AOS

Know the sub-consciousness to be an epitome of all experience and
wisdom, past incarnations as men, animals, birds, vegetable life,
etc., etc., everything that exists, has and ever will exist. Each
being a stratum in the order of evolution. Naturally then, the lower
we probe into these strata, the earlier will be the forms of life we
arrive at; the last is the Almighty Simplicity. And if we succeed in
awakening them, we shall gain their properties, and our accomplishment
will correspond. They being experiences long passed, must be evoked by
extremely vague suggestion, which can only operate when the mind is
unusually quiet or simple. To have their wisdom does not mean the
necessity of their bodies- the body modifies in relation to "means"
(we travel faster than the hunting leopard, but do not have its body),
when it is the means it changes accordingly. Now, if we observe
Nature, the early forms of life are wonderful in their properties,
adaptablility, etc; their strength enormous, and some are
indestructible. No matter what the desire is, it always is its
accomplishment. A microbe has the power to destroy the world (and
certainly would if it took an interest in us). If you were to
dismember its limb, the mutilated part would regrow, etc. So by
evoking and becoming obsessed or illuminated by these existences, we
gain their magical properties, or the knowledge of their
attainment. This is what already happens (everything happens at all
times) though exceedingly slowly; in striving for knowledge we repel
it, the mind works best on a simple diet. - AOS

This explains the meaning of the term Atavism.

This is a tune I wrote for Dazed and Wild Cherry over at Mixposure to celebrate the birth of their daughter Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn

An ambient tune with a touch of guitar for flavoring...

(Spell for the Wicked) - Song for the Dying

This is my favourite tune to play when I am warming up. I have tons of variations of it, of which this is just one. Oh, and it has a lot of double stops in it. :¬)

The Double Stop Song

I once worked in a school in London and a little girl called Alice (Year 2) told me the saddest story I ever heard.

The backing has been described as a clockwork cacophony which is fair enough, sounded much nicer on acoustic guitar, ah well....

Sad Alice

A tune that came to me as I woke up. I called it Dee after my wife.

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we kill those people.”
