Intro music for a podcast that unfortunately got scrapped prior to airing.

The string arrangements themselves were at least nine years old at the time of recording!

Heavily inspired by the intro music for TV, video and radio we found ourselves surrounded with growing up in the 1990's, plenty of emulator vibes mixed with 909 drum sounds on this one!

Recorded April 2021.
All music and instruments - Mike W.

Wake Up West

A pitch for a corporate Podcast intro/outro music.

Always was happy with the way this one panned out, even if it didn't make the final cut.

Recorded December 2020.

Intro/Outro RPodcast

A collection of short pieces inspired by the changing seasons of Spring and Summer, particularly those of 2021.

Heavy on the 1990's television vibes once again, the emulator being put through it's paces!

0:00 An Introduction
0:19 By the Riverside
0:41 Looking Around
1:02 I Found Something

Country Spring & Summertime - Snippets

A rough sketch of a track that I largely came up with spontaneously, always thought this could work being recorded by Dua Lipa, reckon she could come up with a decent set of lyrics and a melody, the offer's always open!

Recorded April or May 2019.

Melting Rain (Irresistable)

Written circa March 2012.

Originally a Not the Future track, imaginatively titled 'No Future', reworked and brought into 2019 with multi-layered guitars, and a fresher set of drum loops.

Recorded September 2019.

The Pitch (Instrumental)

2019

Australia (2019 Version)

A little attempt at creating a Scritti Politti-style Sophisti-Pop track.

Plenty of Jupiter (Exactly which numerical model eludes me) and Fairlight sounds on this one, in homage to the great David Gamson of the Cupid and Psyche 85-era SP.

This demo also marks the first time that I'd played the keys and synth parts by hand and live, rather than programming, an equally unnerving and rewarding experience!

I may go back and redo the guitar parts with a Stratocaster in the pickup two setting, for that glassy, crystaline sound one day. At the time of recording, the only single coil I had to hand was a Telecaster, DI'd and compressed within an inch of it's life!

Recorded January 2020.

Construction (Demo)

Greater London based guitarist, bassist, erstwhile drummer and keyboard planner and general composer/songwriter.
