Songs

I Heard You Singing

A rather different remix of the classic We Wish You A Merry Xmas. All rights violated.

Merry Xmas - Remix

An improvised and emotional response to melting polar icecaps. Recorded on an iPhone next to my Kawai baby grand

Elegy For Ice

A nice intro I found for the jazz classic Autumn Leaves. The sheet music dates to about 1947

Autumn Leaves Intro

Why should Venice have all the barcaroles? Dedicated to, but in no way emulating the amazing Chopin barcarole. Bulleen, in Victoria, is on the mighty Yarra River which seemed sorely in need of it's own barcarole. 

Using (almost) only the notes of F Major 7th and performed live in the back room in one take (following a few trials) on my Kawai baby grand. Recorded on an iPhone 6S sitting on the music stand.
Unidentified sound at 1:20 we'll assume to be the piano stool.

Barcarole For Bulleen

Added vocals (Matt Greco) & 12 string guitar (Daniel ML) to an arrangement I found and tweaked up the orchestra

Nights In White Satin

This is a cover of an instrumental from the first Procol Harum album in 1969. Written by Matthew Fisher, with some assistance from JS Bach.
 
Rob Lamb plays the guitar parts, inspired by the Robin Trower playing on the original but with his own flair. I've done the Hammond organ (Matthew Fisher) and piano (Gary Brooker) parts. 

Rob & I put this together in "ISO" 2020 and had some massive fun with it - time to share
