THE CRIME

Listening to some Robyn tracks inspired this song. I wanted a hard synth pop vibe with a little bit of hell raising. Take a deep breath because this piece doesn't breathe at all. It's an audio onslaught from start to finish. 

...If you like ghosts... At the end of the track is what sounds clearly like a voice speaking, yet there were no mics, organic instruments or analog input of any sort. The voice emerged out of the conflux of late mastering decisions using compression and harmonic enhancers, but didn't appear until the final export. Truly strange! 

If you've experienced something similar, tell me in the comments.

Root Of The Floom

This Custom Shop SG came to me very cheap because the headstock was broken. I spent the last two weeks stripping it down and reparing it. Put it back together yeasterday and played some bottleneck on it. I put her through two delay units, tiddling the knobs as I played!

“Inspired by our daughters new found love of The Beach Boys’ music; requesting “Peach Boys and Rock and Roll”. Here is “PEACHES”. This is the acapella version. The inspiration for this are the reissue and deluxe releases of classic records, which include alternate takes and acapella songs.” 

…peaches and Rock and Roll

Aah, aah, aah peaches 

I don’t know what to eat
When I’m hearing the California beat 
Do I dig strawberries? Is that the one for me? 
Is it time for something more hip and sweet? 

I’m not sure what to take from my bowl
When I listen to Rock and Roll
I’m all about peaches Rock and Roll 

…in this microphone
Bah bah bah bah, alright 
…no

The Me-La
In an interview on GLR when DJ, Reggae Queen Miss ‘P’ asked me, “what was the difference between” me and “your usual Lovers Rocker” At first I had no idea what she was referring to, finally the Penny dropped and replied in Spanish about being milk with Coffee. Of course there is a lot of Coffee in my Music and Artwork. So don’t expect one style from me.

My influences are rangy and eclectic, from my early years Joan Baez and Bob Dylan to Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd and Bob Marly, From Billie Holiday to Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell, Geoffrey Onyema to Dollar Brand, Puccini and Maria Callas, Leonard Cohen, Toots and the Maytals...and so so many more, I am very Lucky to have such a rich tapestry to enjoy.
