My effort for Tsunami's Ambient Beat Event.

I've not written anything ambient for a while, so I enjoyed getting back into it.

Ambi'n't

Written for the Tsunami Sounds City Pop event

Night Runner

Empty Glasses by Sub Hero

Taken from the Chronicles Of An Instant EP, available now on Bandcamp (and other retailers).

This is the 1st track that I discovered my sound as Sub Hero. It originally a sparse track that I had abandoned as it wasn't going anywhere, but I used it to play with some new plugins and it took on a life of its own. I love the dubby end section to this - i never wanted to finish!

A Wandering Dub by Sub Hero.

As heard on BBC Introducing, Renegade Radio (@Wudub), Amazing Radio (Simon Raymonde), Radio World Indie (Lucio Urbano) and the Echo Chamber on KFAI (@Strangedub).

Named for the wandering nature of the drums which shift between four sets of effects throughout the track.

Tensor X Sub Hero - Feed off the Desperate.

The first collaboration between Tensor and Sub Hero is a dark experimental trip hop track full of slurred stuttering drums and twisted instruments. Look out for the switch halfway through.

Lights Down by Sub Hero.

As featured on the BBCIntroducing Mixtape.

Leaning more towards hip hop, I wrote this track in one sitting. I love how the vocals come out in this one.

18 track EP now available at bit.ly/sh_ChroniclesEP on Bandcamp, as well as other retailers.

Undeserved by Sub Hero featuring Joan Silentio.

I'm happy to bring you my first track working with @JoanSilentio on vocals whose voice I've admired for a while now. Swapping between Joan's more spoken word and sung styles, her vocals came through a treat. 



All lyrics and vocal performance by @JoanSilentio
Arranged and produced by @SubHero


Lyrics;

Coming silently into dark bedroom 
I know what you want dear, I feel
You'll take off your coat and I'll take of my dress
I'll be bare in your hands, in your cruel hands.

Now go ahead 
Please take it back
Now go ahead 
Please take it back 

Lying silently I know that you're fading 
I know that you don't care, I feel
We are not children but we are not old
Oh my dear you are bold in my hands

Now go ahead 
And take it back 
This is the feeling you forget 
The one undeserved.

A Dub For The Lost by Sub Hero.

Sadly, our cat's journey with us had to come to an end a few weeks ago. I had the bassline to a demo I had written running through my head the whole time and it helped get me through. In dedication to her I finished it off, and here it is.

This is for you, Kit. Thanks for you time with us. RIP.

Moutz by Sub Hero

In light of recent world events I had to go away from the working title. I asked my kids what I should call it - my one year old daughter named it "Moutz" (mouse) - so that's what it's called!!

A Sub Hero remix of One Day by @Guiville and @Minettefourie

Big thanks to Guiville and Minette Fourie for letting me loose on this! A slightly darker take than the uplifting vibe of the original.

Be sure to give some love to these guys and check out their original track here: https://soundcloud.com/guiville/one-day-ft-minette-fourie

One Day (Sub Hero's One Night Remix)

Guiville - One Day (Sub Hero's One Night Remix)

Afterhours by Sub Hero, taken from the Summer Compliation album by @aviarybridgerecords - available on cassette and digital from 31/08.

Lazy hazy nights reverberate through this slightly psychadelic number. It has an almost fairground-esque ambiance to it.

Summer Compilation

Afterhours

A perfect track for those of you who like things a little darker, with LoFi beats, dark vibes and creepy trumpets

Also available to stream on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/track/75YdLl85fHAM8mX8g9lW3m?si=o4Rb8Jd_R_G847_w_WrSHw

My entry for the Adam Audio soundtrack competition, Nighthawks (https://www.adam-audio.com/en/soundtrack-competition-2020).

The challenge was to compose a short soundtrack for the painting “Nighthawks”, by Edward Hopper. My take was the barman dropping a glass and lightening the mood.

ArianeGroup are running a remix contest for 'Love On The Edge' by @pyramidhall (link below)- this is my take on the track.

I quite like the airy feel of the original and wanted to create something in keeping with that vibe.

Love On The Edge

Pyramid - Love On The Edge (Sub Hero Remix)

I am a producer of some kind of downtempo music - mainly trip hop but edging into a kind of dub, lounge, ambient and chill type stuff.
