Hi,

We’re Jo and Roger and we’ve been making music mainly under the name Curio for some time. We met at school and have been gigging and recording (on and off) for the last 23 odd years with various folk helping us on the way.

We’re going to be adding tracks here from our back catalogue from 1997 and 2004, plus re-recording and then adding others that we’ve gigged and recorded, mainly just for the pleasure of re-visiting them again.

Feedback always welcomed and really grateful to be part of this community.

Curio aka J&R

Wallowing in the warmth of lower mids and melancholic melody.

Take a large bucket. Add a pint of Neil Young, a pinch of Glen Hansard. Wack in a tea spoon of Damien Rice, then an ickle bit of Tom Mcrae. Shove in a hand full of Mike Scott, a heaped table spoon of Neil Finn and a large dollop of Conor J. O'Brien. Mix with a big stick then strain through an old sock. Pour. What you have is a little bit of Mr C.

Hello good people of the cloud.
I play everything in real time and record and master on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio. Although three of the older songs on here where recorded on a 8 track tape recorder through an old seck analogue desk.
No pc's are used or abused in the process of me music making. I love tactile recording. Switches, faders, pots and buttons. Mouses are for computers and eating cheese. No Mac, Daws or Windows, Midi or overused plugins. And no automated mixing, compromise being a large part of my final sound.

Hope you enjoy some of the music that I make, please feel free to share and comment.

I now have another page, link below, of songs recorded from 1999 to 2012 on an 8 track tape machine.

My music is made to provoke. I believe you get frighted by especially BJon and Klaustrofobia. My means of production is basically software. It's made with mouse and touchscreen. When you make the music like me it sounds like crap. But I was the first. BJon was produced in a train.

My Music is not mine. I want it to be spread word of mouth. If you like it spread the word.

BJ is BeethovenJunior my alias. Ambitious, but time Will show if I become deaf too.

Ashes for Dreams is the Irish/Swedish band project of Johan Alm (https://soundcloud.com/jambrains) and Karen O’Mahony (https://soundcloud.com/monnodb).

Both coming from completely different cultures and musical backgrounds - incorporating between them classical, traditional, folk and rock - they had each previously produced solo work vastly different to the other’s. 

Johan’s style is heavy rock with a unique and gritty vocal style and guitar work admired and envied by many. Karen’s natural home is more folk, which to their surprise works beautifully in a heavy rock setting. Together, they are a magical combination, particularly when they duet - their distinctive voices blending as if made for each other!  Johan gives Karen more edge, Karen keeps Johan’s Rock God under control...

It shouldn’t work, but it does...

Just posted the latest song ‘Hooked’ from my new album ‘On The Surface’, which should be out later this year or early next year. I am going to put songs out slowly this year. Please have a listen if you can.

TBR; the sound of a singer/songwriter, but not in the traditional sense! Influenced by a mixture of grunge, garage and metal, TBR takes a solo aesthetic, but applies a rock/metal filter, with a home produced approach. Lyrically, the songs are inspired by a mixture of personal and political issues, with views on modern life that underpins the songs.

Started in the early 90's as a three piece jam band, weekly bedroom sessions went on for many years, with no pressure to perform we play loose jams and a handful of original songs. On and off over the years the drummer James has been active in the London psych scene playing with the likes of Arthur Brown and Instant Flight. For a real idea of the Improvised jams we have played over the years check out the Shed Session page, in 2006 we had the use of a studio where we set up some recording equipment and held regular all night jams/partys that we recorded. We can still occasionally be heard thrashing out a progression or two at the local studio.
