Hypnotized by the movement in that synth!!!!!!!!!!

Fabulous soundwaves...great and dark..love it..!!!

Sadly, the surfer dude, from the previous track, has met his end in choppy waters...

One take track, sombre instrumental on the Korg Modwave - straight from the synth into audacity: no external effects, no Audacity tweaks, no plugins, no DAW.

Key E major.

Every Step Of The Way (Lyrics)

Give Me All Your Loving - Everyday
I'm Gonna Be With You - Every Step Of The Way
Give Me All Your Loving - Everyday
I'm Gonna Be With You - Every Step Of The Way

Sometimes I Don't Know Where I'm Going
Sometimes I Can See My Way Through
Sometimes All My Dreams Are Exploding
I'm Feeling It Now
I Know You're Feeling It Too

Here Comes The Sun
There Goes The Rain
Step Into The Light
Let Your Mind Drift Away
Here Comes The Sun
There Goes The Rain
Step Into The Light
Let Your Mind Drift Away

Give Me All Your Loving - Everyday
I'm Gonna Be With You - Every Step Of The Way
Give Me All Your Loving - Everyday
I'm Gonna Be With You - Every Step Of The Way

You're The One - I Believe
Put Your Faith In Me
I'll Put My Faith In You
You're The One - I Believe
Put Your Faith In Me
I'll Put My Faith In You

Here Comes The Sun
There Goes The Rain
Step Into The Light
Let Your Mind Drift Away
Here Comes The Sun
There Goes The Rain
Step Into The Light
Let Your Mind Drift Away

Give Me All Your Loving - Everyday
I'm Gonna Be With You - Every Step Of The Way
Give Me All Your Loving - Everyday
I'm Gonna Be With You - Every Step Of The Way

You're The One - I Believe
Put Your Faith In Me
I'll Put My Faith In You
You're The One - I Believe
Put Your Faith In Me
I'll Put My Faith In You

Every Step Of The Way

This is my Covid Project.
Up until recently I reckon I was the only person on the planet not to have experienced the dreaded virus!
Anyway, I finally caught it while trying to record this song. All fairly mild but it lingered a while, and affected my voice a bit. 
This song has been knocking around for so long now I haven't the heart to do any more re-recording :) So ........ up it goes.
PS all better now ....... eventually!

One Face in a Million

Just acoustic guitar and voice this time.
It's been a while since I've written/ recorded anything in an acoustic latin style (I've been obsessed with bossa nova for years)- so here goes ............ it may be a little more Ilfracombe than Ipanema, but hope you enjoy :)
Here's a youtube video to go with the track:

This is the last in the Cloudlines series (Just realised I've been putting this collection together for more than 6 years!) 
A dreamlike series of ambient instrumentals featuring warm melodies, acoustic guitars (both nylon and steel strung), heavily processed electric guitars and a shimmering wash of synths.
A mix of the familiar, the nostalgic and the experimental.
The whole series is also available on my Bandcamp page.
Thanks for listening .......
Richard :)
PS a new long term project is on it's way.

Cloudlines No'12 (The Last)

Ages ago, while trawling Spotify, I stumbled on this song by Luke Doucet, a Canadian singer - songwriter(and great guitarist!). 
I immediately loved the guitar part and the lyrics.
It seemed like it would be fun (and a challenge) to learn the song - just guitar and voice, and upload it between bigger projects. Hoping I've done it justice :)

Wallow (Cover)

What do you get when you combine 80s synthesizers, lounge and the music from the background of the television guide? You get Smooth Plan, the first single from the in-progress EP "Ideas and Innovations", a throwback inspired by the chilled out sounds of Library Music circa 1988 to 1992.

Ideas and Innovations

Smooth Plan

Just a simple Poly Patch on the Behringer UB-XA.  Dry at first, then with Blue Cat Cat Cat Chorus and Valhalla Supermassive, both Free Plug Ins
