found on an old 90 minute cassette. It's the only sound recording of my Father in existence, (I think)... He scats a lil' perpetual motion by Penguin Cafe Orchestra before settling down for a nice chip butty. I can be heard asking after my older sister in the back ground.

TOO MANY MOTHS

Another demo off of "Volume 1: Of Jaundiced Soundwaves". 

Crutch

Kind of the centerpiece of the "Volume 1: Of Jaundiced Soundwaves" song cycle. While it may seem very histrionic and melodramatic now, this was one of the less thought about and 'more genuine' tracks. I still have a soft spot for it deep down as my feelings on this particular subject remain unchanged. I would like to take another crack at this song though and see what would happen now that I've matured some musically.

A little piece of mood setting soundscape work from "Volume 1: Of Jaundiced Soundwaves".

Subversive Viaduct

Probably the best soundscape I've ever done. This was me at 22, re-imagining my headspace at 11 and trying to make the way my memories sounded flesh. When I was 11, my father passed away due to lymphoma. Plymouth has a topographic feel and an atmosphere that gets underneath your skin, and that is where my father passed. There is gray skies, crashing waves, pseudo forts, brass statues of Sir. Francis Drake, memorials to the Blitzkrieg. More than anything though, I tried to capture how I felt as a kid sitting in a sterile hospital, remembering the reverberations off of the ancient green tiles that lined the walls and trying to follow those echoes wherever they went so I didn't have to be THERE. I thought I understood what was going on but how can an 11 year old? I get interesting feedback every time someone listens to this. I hope the pictures that it paints for you are as interesting as it was a track to make.

Plymouth

A theme for the statue of Sir. Francis Drake that looks out across the English Channel facing Spain. It's so gloriously petulant and appallingly British. If it wasn't meant to be tongue in cheek, then it's even funnier. This track may seem really over dramatic for the subject matter, but again, this cat was one of my historical heroes, and his statue being in Plymouth and the gravity of the situations surrounding the time I spent in that wonderful city lend a lil' melancholy to anything I do that's referential to it.
