I never intended to write a love song! However, I ended up with one that I quite like. 

It came about after I had been to a spate of weddings. I noticed that at each of these weddings, whoever was preaching seemed to read from the same book in the Bible. They all read from 2 Corinthians, chapter 13 which lays out God's definition of what love is about. 

Two things caught my attention; firstly, God's definition of love differs quite a bit from what we get shown in the general media. Secondly I noticed that alot of the sentences rhymed or could be made to just by playing about with the order of the words a bit. 

This was enough to spark my interest and I started to see if I could turn it into a song. The music for it started off as a three note melody, this took a while to turn into the full song here. Once again there was never a bassist about when I needed one so I had to play that as well as program the drums, play the guitar and synth parts, sing, record, mix ....etc, etc.  

Any comments welcome.

I can't play piano. So i did this cover of Alan Walker's 'Sing Me To Sleep' by reading some notation and drawing the notes into my computer. Technically speaking this is my computer playing the song. I made this for my daughter to use as an audition backing track.

My name is Stewart Henderson and I'm a guitarist with an unhealthy love of audio production and music technology. 

A long long time ago, (Early on my musical journey) I was given the best advice for a musician. Learn to play in as many styles as you can. This advice came from a couple of session guitarists I met. Like many young guitarists I had started out playing rock and metal,  I decided to take the advice I was offered and do just that. 

I played in a few function bands, as well as other bands.  Since then I have performed on tour dates with artists such as American singer/songwriter Bill Drake, and rising acts such as Abigail Hubbard. I have also played in recording sessions with artists such as South African music producer Nick Coatzee.

I have played throughout the UK, as well as France and Germany.  I have played in a wide variety of venues including concert halls, a ship and a prison. I have even got to stage dive in Canterbury Cathedral (but that's a different story).

Having an interest in both performing and audio production, I set up a home studio and  have started to compose for media. So far my works have been used in a short animation piece, and a jingle for a local radio station. I have also had a commission to compose a theme for a series of childrens stories.

As well as this I regularly work with various music service providers such as Kent Music and Pie Factory Music. Through this I have worked with several musicians from various genres such as Harry Shotta, Spooka, Tali, Erb'n'Dub, The Assembly Worker, and Robin File (Audioweb, Badly Drawn Boy, Finlay Quay).
