This is an alternate take to the track I called "Azul". The audio is a little burnt but I think it is definitely still worth sharing. As always, this is a live one take recording using the Maschine MK3. Thanks for listening ✌

Blue River Beat #4

DAWless live-looping one-take acoustic electronic dirty analog bass techno (edit). Watch video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx8-r64Oe18&t=303s

LOT_002 (Edit)

An intimate piano and vocal cover of Music by Men by Florence + The Machine. I recorded this live in one take; just wanting to share my version of one of my favourite songs on the new album.

I kept it very soft all the way through; slower than the original; with a few natural stops and pauses so it feels more like a quiet conversation than a big performance. The chords and melody stay quite close to Florence’s version; but some lines fall almost into spoken word and of course it sits in a male voice instead.

The artwork shows me at the piano wearing RayBats; my experimental listening device; a small nod to the way I am always mixing music with sound research.

Recorded in London as part of the Rita Road Sessions; sitting with the reflective and heartbroken side of the song.

First Pool

VERSE 1
Time is like a fire burning
It grows until the air runs out
Grace can keep the pages turning
Learn just what this life’s about

CHORUS
Would you believe it, if it hits you in the face
Could you receive it, if by losing wins the race
There is a season, for the best things in the world
Finding the reason, every day takes its own turn

VERSE 2
Shadows creep but dawn is waking
Hope can grow from seeds of doubt
Distance fades when hearts keep searching
Where the light can lead us out

CHORUS
Would you believe it, if it hits you in the face
Could you receive it, if by losing wins the race
There is a season, for the best things in the world
Finding the reason, every day takes its own turn

BRIDGE

Sun down

CHORUS

Just an ordinary knucklehead strumming my six-string and singing songs. I labor with sweat and tears to make REAL music for REAL people, because I refuse to let AI take that away from us.

olliray makes emotive, cinematic music that sits between intimate piano ballads and modern electronic soundscapes. A singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from London, he blends live piano and guitar with textured production to create songs that feel close and expansive at the same time.

Alongside his original work, he records stripped-back piano and guitar covers of songs he loves. These late-night performances sit naturally beside his own writing, shaped by the same focus on atmosphere, storytelling and emotional detail.

He had a short spell of violin lessons when he was younger; everything else on piano, guitar and production is self-taught. That instinctive path runs through his music; he writes, plays and shapes his songs by ear, chasing what feels honest rather than what follows the rulebook.

His debut single BoxRox and first album Stuck in Traffic captured a raw, lyric-driven phase where he produced and sang everything himself. Between followed, pushing further into experimental electronic textures. He then released Piano for Yoga, a live, meditative piano recording created in a single continuous flow for a yoga video soundtrack.

In 2024 he returned to his roots with Lost Romance, an album built from songs written 18 years earlier and revisited with a more reflective, nostalgic perspective. It moves between gentle piano pieces and fuller arrangements, tying his early ideas to the sound he has grown into now.

He is currently working on new music that continues to blur the lines between acoustic songwriting and electronic production, always searching for the balance between warmth, space and emotional weight.

For a first listen, start with Stuck in Traffic or How Long if you want reflective, cinematic songwriting, then explore the Covers Playlist to hear his take on songs by artists he loves. Fans of Bon Iver, Ben Howard, Nick Mulvey, Coldplay and M83 may feel at home in his world.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a lifetime music junkie that began making beats in 2019. My weapon of choice is the Native Instruments Maschine MK3. Every track posted is a live recording without a DAW or automation. I come from a background of scratching records, so I feel a need to be hands on. All tracks were created in a freestyle manner without premeditation. Part of my process is to record what I have before ending the session. The tracks here are those session recordings. They may not be perfect, but I feel they all capture some part of my soul. I hope you enjoy. One love✌️
