Champion Doug Veitch - Banks Of Marble -The King EP

An experiment with narrative and sound. This was a one take drum solo/rhythm based on this CBS news report. I found the news report graphic enough but to me adding the soundscape adds a tension and a edge.. 

Immigration

A Pleasant Interlude To My Day just because it was

A Pleasant Interlude To My Day

Really liked this track when I first heard it. So I asked if I could put some drums on it. Here is the result

Ssssh The Chase hans-michael (clouders for) ft rick medlock drums

Abstract improvisation. The whole track although done over a few weeks was improvised. All tracks done in one take with just the minimum of cleaning up. Why you might ask? Well just because.

Rain

I must stop spending so much time in the pub!!! more experimentation from me.

I Stepped Out The Back Door

One of the nice things about Soundcloud is the collaborations that transpire from kindred spirits. I have been working with Phil since I was a lad. Now for the first time Tony Bluestone. WOW Man what a voice. So when you have finally finished listening to this maybe nip over to Tony and Phil pages and have a listen to the excellent music they make.

@Rick-4-1: Percussion

A Perfectly Good Guitar Has No Songs In It.

A perfectly good guitar has no songs in it
unless you rub it with alcohol fire ‘gainst the edge of the night
Oh you'll get no sleep, you'll get no rest, once you've woken it up...
We'll hear you cry with pain

But once your hands are bloody and the thing is plugged into your heart
you'll never sleep again and the morning brings no peace
You just have to play

Play on…

Well only love
Slows down the song
It’s only love

Play on...


A perfectly good guitar has no songs in it and it's plugged into your heart... play on!

Well it has not been her week. In fact, it has not been Labours week. A light hearted take on the complete screw up that this individual managed completely unaided.

Sitting in my room have I really done it all
Met a lot of people who take you for a fool... 
People with agendas to put themselves on high . 

No respect for others they'll leave you to get by... 
Wealth and politicians seeing eye to eye .... 
Maybe I'm the fool who tried to help the poor. 
Maybe tomorrow I'll see a reason for it all... 
Tired of the classes share the human pool. 

Sitting in my room have I really done it all ... 
Wealth and politicians.. 
Back against the wall
