Written & recorded April 2011.  Demo of a new piece driven by a lovely mellotron sound.

The shape of things (instrumental)

First take on a minimalist piece based around Sound Dust's beautiful Plastic Ghost Piano (convolution piano). Also featuring my favourite reverb  - ValhallaVintageVerb. Image - Coronation Park, Catterick, 1970's.

Another Place

'Murano' written and recorded in April 2015. Gated drums courtesy of one of my favourite reverbs - Valhalla Vintage Reverb. And yes, by the drum sound you can probably tell I was listening to a lot of Phil Collins / Genesis around the time of writing.

Murano

A short winter melody - my attempt to recreate the warm string sounds of the 80s - mixed with the Nils Frahm piano sound (using Native Instruments Una Corda) and Ultra Analogue by AAS (one of my current favourite vsts). Picture by Charlotte Kinson

Winter Theme 1

A homage to the darker side of the 80s and my much missed (constantly going out of tune)Juno 6. Recorded in FLStudio - using U-he's Diva, AAS Lounge Lizard, Arturia Solina and Evolution Rosewood Grand (my favourite piano VST).

Brandenburger Tor

Short, melancholic piano and strings refrain

Fade I

The main theme in the trio - based on Episode 10 of Twin Peaks (The Return). Listen to the 3 versions of the theme at https://mrkinski.bandcamp.com/releases

Love Theme For Dougie & Janey - E

A track I stumbled across deep in the recesses of my hard drive, that I cannot even remember recording. From 2014.

November Ghosts

Recorded February 2010.  1st take - to be revisited.

Memory Fades Away (1st Vocal Demo)

As part of the Steven Wilson "Personal Shopper" remix project - here is my attempt: Mr Kinski's Love You To Bytes remix.

I have kept the basic arrangment as is, but have dialled up the electronics, and I added 3 keyboard lines - a Moroder bassline on the verse (Modular V3), a Matrix-12 V2 synth line also on the verse and Solina (Blue Strings) on the later chorus parts. I have also pushed the bass more to the fore, and added processing to the drums (H910 harmonizer) and brought the choral pieces higher up / doubled in the mix (and added Valhalla Vintage reverb), as well as adding processing to the Elton John spoken parts. At the end, the guitars are mangled with the H910 Harmonizer on one instance and a multiband compressor on the other.

I hope you enjoy my remix. It was fun to put together.
