Motor experiment. Jangly bits played my guitar. Half-performed by Doug Cain.

Vibration Motor #1

This is a remix I made of an almost-untitled track by Brighton band Bad Wolves (www.badwolves.uk). It bears little resemblance to the original, except I kept some of the singing.

Co-produced with Graeme Diamond.

Song No6 (Funk To Fade RMX)

A strange alternate world which narrates a vivid dream I had.

Chinese Boatman

A demo of a song that so far has got no further.

Summer Wedding (demo)

Another sketch demo that I no longer have any idea how to play so will probably forever exist in this slighting scratchy-squeaky state.

Sketch #1

Any way that you look at it
The creatures gonna lose
Ain't no avoiding it
I've seen it on the news
They're fracking out the rivers, kid
I think we'd better choose
Your Prius it won't save you
From the Wildlife Blues

I got palm oil in my cupboard
In my hair and on my hands
Watch the sprawling urban jungle
As it creeps across the lands
Those orangutans in Borneo
Are they reading all the clues?
Coming like a thundercloud
The Wildlife Blues

In the water, ain't no mackerel
They're praying to the cod
Salmon's on the hit list
So be careful how you shop
The flatfish, well I tell ya
They're feeling kind used
Cause there ain't no cure
For the Wildlife Blues

Now I'm soaring like osprey
But I'm feeling all alone
Seen the Right Whale went the wrong way
Down the Yankee harpoon
But now those people they can spot them
From the comfort of their cruise
They sail away the sadness
Of the Wildlife Blues

Wildlife Blues

So, I borrowed a friend's lap steel for a coupla weeks. I've never played one before and this is rubbish, but it's the only thing I recorded so I thought I'd archive it here anyway.

Lap Steel

A little experiment in 'minimalism' and phasing of repeated parts, plus some other stuff. The experiment itself was inspired by Charles Hazlewood's "Tones, Drones And Arpeggios: The Magic Of Minimalism" on BBC Four.
