During 2013-2018 we took part in day programs for people with disability, where participants, volunteers and staff worked together on performing and recording songs, mostly covers but sometimes originals too. We experimented with sounds, jamming and spent time on various music-related activities. Our main focus was music technology and computer-based recording. The results of some of our efforts can be heard here.

Some more bits and pieces can be found here:

Unfinished projects by @slsoundpro (The Pako Crew)

Most of the pieces presented here are my arrangements of songs by other artists, with completely new instrumentation built around the original vocal stems. These new versions differ from the originals in both style and complexity. The "added complexity" springs from my interest in prog rock, although the end results are not necessarily reminiscent of any existing prog rock.

My musical influences are fairly eclectic and I enjoy music from around the world and in different time periods.

I am a mainly self taught musician and sound creator after being as asked to leave my school class music lessons (which consisted of our percussive accompaniment of military band march tunes) for being a bit creative. I have learned a lot from the musicians I have met and have been lucky enough to play with musicians from all over the world in many different styles.

My music is mainly improvised at first. Then I sometimes develop it. Where possible I like to mix musical styles.

Most of my public performances have not been recorded at all, those that were, were mainly recorded on audio cassettes. I consider that cassette recordings have both their advantages and disadvantages (which are many).

The main advantage for musicians when they were available is that they were not intrusive. In the same way that with some cameras, such as the Twin Lens Reflect, where the photographer does not have direct eye contact with the subject who can relax in order to make a better image.

My one claim to musical fame is that John Peel (the legendary Radio DJ) played both sides of my one and only vinyl single AN AMAZING GRACE\SPACE BOOGIE on his BBC Radio One show. I also had a cup of tea with him in his London flat. John Peel RIP.
Perhaps more later . . .

Slightly more than ten hours of free music, just use your ears and move your body to get there.
