Bravo William!  What is amazing is I just listened to 8 minutes with complete attention to what truly is one impressively long and spectacular solo! Your ideas just kept flowing, and just so many interesting lines and incredible rhythmic phrases really took me on a journey. AND the crazy thing is the entire track was basically just your synth, with one sound the whole through, along with the repeating simple drum loop as a backdrop… nothing more added.  Fantastic!

Beautiful stuff, incredible how you keep these spinning!

This was totally mindblowing amazing, Will!

Wow, that's a lot of notes! Very impressive the way you make your music sound a moment like Bach and the other moment like a metal guitar player

This is a one-pass guitar improv from last night, with no post-editing or mixing whatsoever. I feel the flow works really nicely so decided to post it. Enjoy!

The pic was taken in Stratford, East London, sometime before the Olympics.

“Trudge” alludes to the weird disconnected-yet-superconnected reality that envelopes us all day, every day. We wade through a mire of strangely polished ‘normal’ on every social medium we consume, and then can’t work out why we feel so substandard all the time. We voraciously seek the positive feedback that is designed to suck us in and keep us coming back for more. We scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and scroll. What will it take for us to stop and look up? Or will we all slowly fall into the void?

Lyrics

This is the future baby
Trudge along ahead
Lead in my footsteps baby
Follow in my stead

Oh I’m a child of my time
I live out loud
And you call my name but I can’t hear you
I’m standing alone in the crowd

Friends on my left babe
Friends on my right
They like what I’m doing
But they can’t help me tonight

Oh I’m a child of my time
I live out loud
And you call my name but I can’t hear you
Standing alone

I feel like nobody today
Faceless, insignificant, in the way
In the way
In the way

Yeah I’m a child of my time
I live out loud
And you call my name but I can’t hear you
I’m standing alone in the crowd

We’re so together
But inside we’re so alone
Got all the answers babe
But still just don’t really know
We don’t really know, no

Yeah I’m a child of my time
I live out loud
And you call my name but I can’t hear you
Standing alone
I’m a child of my time
I live out loud
And you call my name but I can’t hear you
I’m standing alone in the crowd
