A sound form this afternoon's rain here in Melbourne.

Thunderclap

Old song of mine redone with mandolin.

Words and Music Peter Jetnikoff 1982

Longer Than The Day

I wrote this when I was 20. It was envisioned as a powerpop thwanger but we only recorded a mild demo and by the time we were choosing songs for the studio this was considered a little old hat (I like little old hats, nowadays). Done here with mandolins as I've started playing the mandolin

Running Late

There was a car alarm going on outside on a very hot day. It irritated me so I recorded a few minutes of it and did this.

ALARM

Sound of Taylor Swift concert at MCG from about two kilometres away.

TScrowd

Found a lovely sample and hold drone on the MS20 this afternoon, recorded two minutes of it (no midi rhythms or nuthin') added more synth and a lap steel.

Persistent Signal

Originally done with Glen DeCruz for the duo Red Flower Crescent but might well end up on a GK or TenderCycle thingy.

You Left Your Diary by the Lake

This is a sketch for the TenderCycle album. It had a placeholder title and I didn't know what I could make of it until I put the helipcopter field recording in and played a trumpet improv (on a keyboard) over that. In breaks I'd flip over to Facebook and kept seeing posts about a very popular cat who died this week and found the music's purpose. The radio call I'm pretending to do is saying either "Tango one seven do you read" or "Tango one seven come in." The purring at the end is by my own cat Brass.

Tango 1-7 (For Tiger)

If you like this song you will love the original by Lisa Germano and I urge to you seek it out and anything else by her. When I first herd the song I immediately imagined it done by The Byrds and when I read a David Crosby interview about how their harmonies were done I did this. It's not a patch on the original but it is very close to what I heard in my head.

Making it Grate Again

Just some thunder from a rainy afternoon in Melbourne
