Mrs Robinson (Simon & Garfunkel cover) - MISTER POP

Inspired by Gaelynn Lea's layered fiddle Christmas tunes, here's a cheeky little experiment: Robert Lucas de Pearsall's version of In Dulci Jubilo, reduced to four voices by William Joseph Westbrook then turned into a piece for four theremins by me. You'll be glad to know the multiple parts were achieved by multitracking in Pro Tools; four theremins in the same room at the same time is a dangerous thing, and there are enough things threatening to destroy the world right now without me destabilising it with theremins...

In Dulci Jubilo theremin experiment

The puritan William Prynne seemed so upset by the idea of dancing that I wrote this in the hope he might see the joy in bouncing around to a jolly folk tune after all.

It's also an unashamed tribute to the tunes recorded by Les Penning and Mike Oldfield in the mid 1970s, spurred on by a few long conversations with Les in his local watering hole; it's been three years in the making, now here it is for your listening silliness!

The Dance of Billy Prynne

Inspired by a week in Barcelona, this one started off as a flamenco-ish thing and went a bit Santana somewhere along the line, with an added heavy metal interlude brought on by an encounter with Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson (and why not?).

Best enjoyed with a plate of tapas.
