In a world of darkness they were our only hope.
A well walked Pavement on the way to the Teenage Fanclub.

all these songs are drafts and sketches I do myself on a 10 yr old version of garage band. My lyrics seem to lean more towards the macabre and musically I try to create a driven, psychedelic sound with some early electro influences thrown in. Enjoy

Hi, I'm Chris and I am a research scientist by day and a songwriter in my spare time. I joined SC in 2013 and I mainly record acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies, but also like playing electric guitar, bass, keyboards and using drum loops.

My musical influences include Syd Barrett, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon, and increasingly fellow SoundClouders; My favourite bands include Yes, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Rush and Steely Dan, and I also listen a lot to The Beatles, Elton John, The Who, Van Morrison, Genesis, King Crimson,  Jethro Tull, Sparks, Stevie Wonder, The Grateful Dead to name but a few...

Anyway, please feel free to get in touch - I can make any tracks (in whole or in part) available if you want them for collaborative reasons, or if you just want them for your mp3 collection :)


The Tempus Collective are : 
Kevin Fleming - writing, vocals & keys
Stewart Grieve (Solo Greebo) - writing, keys and production

The Tempus Collective are a duo hailing from Glasgow/Scotland, consisting of Kevin Fleming (vocals and keys) and Stewart Grieve (Keys, programming and production). The boys first met at school and have been playing together since 1983. They got their first 4-track a few years later and have continued to be bedroom music makers ever since, except for a 10 year recess to attend to family life.

Over the years there have been various musicians who have joined the ranks but it remains a two piece outfit for the moment with guest  musicians joining the band for selected projects as they are required.

Influenced by the likes of The Blue Nile, David Sylvian,Thomas Feiner and similar melancholic artists, the Tempus sound is usually a subdued affair that could never be considered mainstream.

"We spend a lot of time on production, we always have, it's about making the best of what you have at the time, both in ability  and equipment and as the years have gone on, both have improved vastly. We always felt that one good sounding song was worth 10 poor ones !  That's what we strive for, That's where we always channeled our energies and it still is to this day."

Using Soundcloud as their main platform to showcase their music the boys have accumulated a decent following and gained a lot of confidence from the warm reception they have received from fellow musicians and music lovers alike....

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
