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

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

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

UBXA Demo - PolySynth

All synth instrumental - unusually (for me) I used only digital synths, though the drum parts were created on an analog DM and I warmed up the sound (of the bassy synth pad) with a Vintage Phaser and Tube Pre-amp to give it a warmer, more vintage vibe. 
I thought the flute sound gave it an Oriental feel, so went with the idea of it being the theme to a hypothetical Vietnam film. Its quite a basic track, but has a full sound, so left it minimalist with just 6 audio tracks to it.

The song has analog drums from the Drumbrute Impact - I used a plugin on the percussion (not the kick) to make it Lo-Fi -  and the flute and choir intro/outro and Flugelhorn are from the Roland D-05 digital synth.
The most interesting part, as far as I am concerned, is the is the big/ fat drone like Pad. 
This was actually done on a Waldorf Streichfett string machine, but the left channel was put thru a Vintage Phaser guitar pedal and the right channel thru a Laney Ironheart IRT Pulse dual valve (2 x 12AX7)pre-amp, prior to hitting the audio interface and the end result is most unlike the sound one would expect from a String Synth - particularly the Streich, which isn't even analog...
I manipulated the levels of tube gain and phaser rate manually to make the pad more involving and interesting...
