An experiment in texture and atmosphere. Noises with guitar mostly tenderly mangled. Some field recordings too.

Keep Watching The Night Sky

More guitar manipulation from the school of 'slow it down and play it backwards'. With added field recordings.

What's Your Earliest Memory?

Written to commemorate a memorable moment in life, passing to a new phase.

Rite of Passage

Rite Of Passage

An experiment. I sampled three 'C' notes from my guitar - low, middle and high. Opening Logic Pro X, I loaded various manipulated versions of those samples into 16 instances of Logic's Quick Sampler and built this piece up in sections, MIDI recording and sequencing using a keyboard to play the guitar sounds. The only additional sound is a sub bass line from a soft synth (G Force software's Minimonsta 2 plugin)

Proof Of Concept

A quick improvisation performed with a Guild Starfire IV guitar, Line6 Pod XT Live & a Digitech looper. Guitars looped and recorded live into Logic Pro X, take 2. The only overdubs were some Moog Taurus-style bass synth from G Force Software's amazing Minimonsta plugin and some reverb and EQ added post-performance.

Possible Futures

Another experiment. A long-form ambient piece built on a simple guitar loop. Most of the sound effects are samples of my own guitar which I treated with considerable cruelty in Logic Pro X's Quick sampler and a couple of great iPad apps - Spacecraft and Borderlands.

Break Me Down Into My Basic Elements

An experiment in producing something a bit more accessible and tuneful. I imagined it as the soundtrack to a gloomy movie about the winter solstice

The True End Of The Solar Year

For Drone Day 2024. Three instances of one sampled note of my guitar, looped and treated, within AUM on the iPad.

Very short track for me. Very rapid too. Fastest way to get from A to B.

Rapid Transit

This piece of enjoyable nonsense has gone through many permutations and remixes. The vocal sample is a field recording made by me in Bali. Borrowed a short excerpt of Erich von Daniken - hope he doesn't mind. With thanks to Adrian Lockwood for conceptual vision.

Chariots Of The Gods

Recorded on iPad in a couple of hours one afternoon. Wouldn’t it be awful to be the Last One Here?

Last One Here

Korg Volca Keys, electric guitar and some iPad synths. Varispeed and lotsa reverb and delay.
