Just a quick bunch of snippets from rehearsals for my album project! Proving that students can be productive...sometimes!

The Consequence

The third track from my uni album! :D
I love the blues and all that Jazz(pardon the pun!) so I had to have one track with a double bass in it! Judgement Day was written sometime in my 2nd year of uni, and is about the moment you stop caring for other's judgements!

Judgement Day

WARNING: THIS SONG IS STILL IN PROGRESS! And I'm sorry for the midi drums!

So I wrote a new song/riff/etc. Did a version with a couple of band members. THEN got accepted onto the Young Creative's Songwriting Masterclass at the Roundhouse. THEN decided to bring it to the professionals...THIS IS A VERY ROUGH DEMO AND VERSION produced, in a couple of hours, after taking their advice. It's still got a way to go and I know where to(need to rustle up a band again!). 

Until then, it's simply a taster of things to come. Hope you like - any comments welcome!
