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

Scampish Scampi v2.0

"Jingle Bells", played using nothing but a Behringer Crave analogue synthesiser and an electric upright bass.

Jingle Bells

A collaboration between myself (Behringer Neutron without external controller) and my elder son Thomas (electric guitar, fretless bass, drum programming). The synth and guitar were recorded in a single take, with the Neutron's LFO synced to the drums within the DAW, and then the bass was overdubbed and the drums edited.

Exploring The Abyss

Who wouldn't want a cute pet alien? The synth is a Behringer Crave using a self-generating random patch, synced to a vintage Yamaha drum machine. Other instruments are Pianet, 6-string banjo and bass guitar.

Alien noises: Behringer Crave
Drums: Yamaha RX-21
Pianet: Nord Electro 6D 73
Banjo: Ashland 6-string
Bass: Squier P-Bass Special

My Pet Alien

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...
