Снова вижу, тебя в глубине...
I'm looking for you again, again in the dark
Again I see you in the depths...

Some new acoustic guitar stuff is under construction, but meanwhile here’s a very different beast, called 'Relentless'. About the relentless assembly line of life.

One Look

poor bastard it’s on your face
the permanent frown
we’ll give it the coup de grâce
the jolly smack down

in the morning… slip away
on the move… going

cracked windshield don’t block the way
to getting around
start picking the weed bouquet
we’re heading for town

in the morning… steal away
on the move… going

cat mother she wrings her hands
just leave us alone
she never did understand
a house ain’t a home

in the morning… slip away
on the move… going
california… get away
gonna move… going

last round up around this place
you dig up the bones
raise canvas for anyplace
the skull and crossbones

California Leaving

Lightning & Thunder

After the surprise success of Scrimshire's autumn-celebrating EP in 2021, the prolific producer and label manager has written a new set of songs that expand the concept record into a full length album. 

Introducing this new release is the gentle, picked guitars of Hazel. A piece that draws so many of Scrimshire's influences together from lo-fi folk to cinematic jazz and beyond. An atmospheric and dream-like journey into the autumn world Scrimshire clearly loves so much. 

The full length album will be released in October, featuring the Guy Garvey favourite Hornbeam.

Scrimshire - Hazel

"Starting Over" (demo v2)

Made and played by me on August 16 and September 12, 2024, using sounds e.g. from Yamaha Montage 8 (TX816 Electric Piano), Keyscape (Roland MKS-20 EP sound), Arturia Jup-8 V and UVI SonicPass (Emulator II, Marcato Strings sound).

Edited a little on September 12, 2024 (changed melody a bit & added and modified some chords, added some chorus etc.). Mastered with Ozone 11 on September 12, 2024.

I'm also working on an instrumentalized version. Also, this song could maybe use some lyrics, and it is still something I have to look into. All comments would be more than welcome, especially regarding the melody (it seems that good melodies are pretty challenging to develop).

As two sources of inspiration here I could name Luis Miguel's versions of the songs "Toda una vida" (by the great Osvaldo Farrés) and "Ese momento" (by the great Armando Manzanero).
