STRANGER MELODY

Inky Glades - C Barry 15

Inky glades 
A smile as it changed 
Voyeur moon 
Descend over hill
Grinning on  
Rabbits act in it's face 
Pocked surface 
Risen 
Forsaken night into day 

Solar rays 
A smile as it fades
Comfort for the 
Hard shoulder 
Detour 
Cul-de-sac bric and brac
No life 
of infants 

Watch in shame 
Her smile as it fades
The lines orientate 
Someone else has won in the run 
Heaven born 
Lofty lid load
lifted up 
Gentle 
Fading swirling tempest

Warm embrace 
Enveloped in quivering grace
There's only 
So much 
Ink To tell 
Story well 
Sketched in once upon a time 
That's when 
I would 
Pretend
We were all just still life

QUIVER {FINAL MIX/MASTER}

So yeah using an IPAD I made a ring tone out of real string samples.. Just for myself and my HTC.. Don't roll ya eyes at me ok! I don't OWN AN ipad or even sanny pad! It's not exactly in time as such.. It's a FREE DOWNLOAD cus I'm nice.. It'll be on an album at some point cus I have a whole elaborate thing worked out for it..

Monkey strings (free ring tone)

Based in Worcester but always up in Brummyland,as that's where I was born. I am a multi instrumentalist, producer and songwriter who has been making music for some 14 odd years. Looking for gigs and possibly a label to release new material on. Please get in touch. all of my stuff is self penned,slightly eccentric but also catchy(ish). This song is of course,about Salvador Dali.

Taking Tea With The Parson

Incredibly versatile performer,singer,songwriter and friend Becky Rose has kindly added her vocals to three of my tracks to date - 90's In Reverse, Quiver and here we have prominently a large quartet of acapella harmonies she added to one o f my newest compositions "A Season Dissolved". Technically her voice is pure tone and perfect just like that of the theremin (a space controlled synthesis instrument of four and a half octaves). 
Essentially I spent 40 minutes cutting up her numerous vocal takes to date in the sequencer logic, with just a few post production EQ/Reverb treatments. I then spliced each one into individual sections and more rhythmic beats. This was off the advice and guidance of my bandmate,Shanebollix.  
The result is,(I'd like to think) somewhere between Bjork and aphex twin.. maybe. I profess to not be an "expert" in electronic music but I am certainly willing to learn and as with my usual approach I'd rather blindly stumble into experimenting with this style then learning it "by the book" so to speak.

Becky Theremin #1

Recerntly: scored the feature Day Of The Stranger (2020), and previously a silent cut of Bella In The Wych Elm (2016) both by Carnie Film Production 
I am a self styled "crusty composer", scintillating songwriter, lucid lyricist, pompous producer, magnanimous multi-instrumentalist. All round musical fidget! 
My big productions such as Quiver, Dali and A Season Dissolved ebb with a glow of occasion and melodrama!  
THE RETINAL CIRCUS is what I drop most releases under.
Also make electronic music under the name Dimitri & The Godhead and am in comedy punk outfit, Shambollix
other projects : Jerome Warfare. 
Previously part of 7 Shades, Babal, Meteor Street, The Ooz, The Strange, Fish Feetl   
Instruments I play - * Omnichord, Stylophone, CASIO DG20 Digital Guitar, Guitar,  Ebow, Bass, Charango, Balalaika, Glockenspiel &  ReacTable modular synth, keyboard, piano
