Carpe Momentum

A tribute to the Beach Boys (and other surf bands). Music, lyrics, arrangement, all instruments and vocals by Simon Beck.

I got a '52 Woody with a surfboard tied to the roof
(Surf, surf, baby I can't surf)
But it's made outta cardboard; it ain't even waterproof
(Surf, surf, baby I can't surf)
And ev'ryone else knows how to hang ten,
Ride a pipeline and do it again
I don't know
How
To 
Surf!
Well, I'm wearin' my baggies and it looks like I'm catchin' a wave
(Surf, surf, baby I can't surf)
But I don't wanna drown and end up in a watery grave
(Surf, surf, baby I can't surf)
It's a surfin' safari for everyone
But I ain't havin' no fun, fun, fun
I don't know
How
To Surf!
(instrumental)
I don't know
How
To Surf!
Here comes the surfing instructor, she's cute and she knows how to teach
(Surf, surf, baby I can't surf)
And I'm the only one who needs surfing lessons right here on the beach.
(Surf, surf, baby I can't surf)
If she starts giving me surfing lessons right now
It'll take all summer for me to learn how.
I don't know
How
To
Surf!
(Surf, surf, baby I can't surf) to fade

This is a new release by Adie and Cam from We Happy Few. Their fourth album 'More Empty Boxes' is a stripped back acoustic project, bringing blues music back to its roots, with a contemporary spin on the genre. It feature's the playing and writing of two members of the full band and is a follow on for their 2010 release 'Empty Boxes'. These simple yet effective arrangements mix slide and finger style guitar with ukulele, double bass, and baritone vocals. It is also available for download on Amazon and Cdbaby. Thanks for listening!

05 City Blues

Another Baroque-style improvisation, this time using two Behringer semi-modular synths, a Neutron and a Crave, patched together to create a 3-oscillator, two-filter monophonic system, with the resulting sound fed into the Neutron's analogue delay to provide incidental harmonies.

Gavotte

This song's nearly done! (even if the mix is still a little sloppy and hard to listen to).
I've been busy working on my new home's acoustics and will be building a silent PC before I get too scrutinous with my mixes though.

I've been posting my music and animation's progress on my Patreon if you fancy a visit! https://www.patreon.com/HarveyRothman

Chariots Of Fire

I'm a self-taught multi-instrumentalist living in London, England. My main instruments are keyboards, bass guitar and double bass, but I also play electric and acoustic guitars, ukulele, 6-string banjo and chromatic harmonica, and I will have a go at anything else that makes a noise.

My musical roots are in the Blues, but my recordings range in style from country to punk to experimental, with bits of funk, jazz and retro movie soundtrack thrown in. And hopefully a bit of humour...
