The third GRM Tools Atelier workshop is now available on the halF unusuaL YouTube channel. This is the audio-only final piece, to simply enjoy sonically, with no distraction. 15 whole minutes of audial intrigue ... I would normally edit a track like this down, but it might be good to hear the whole thing as a companion piece for the video.

If you'd like to see the video and hear me explain how it all comes together, then you can watch at xxx

The video explains how halF weT was formed from some samples of my rainy day in Nottingham, the amazing new GRM Tools Atelier and the older suite of plugins from GRM Tools - first released in 1992! - a fusion of old, new and wet! 😁😜 Enjoy! 😊

An intimate, stripped back piano and vocal cover of Shake Off The Rain by The Paper Kites.

This is an early attempt at the song on piano; but I really liked the atmosphere that came out of it so I decided to share it. The whole thing is recorded live in one take; just voice and piano; so there are small imperfections here and there but it keeps that feeling of a first sketch captured in the moment rather than a polished studio version.

I play it slightly slower than the original with a few pauses and stops; letting some lines hang in the air and placing a bit more emphasis on different parts of the vocal phrasing. The idea was to make it feel like quietly singing to one person in a small room; keeping everything soft and close while the harmony stays fairly true to the original.

Recorded in London on a baby grand as part of the Rita Road Sessions. No heavy production; just a warm room sound; a relaxed vocal and the sense of watching the rain outside the window. If you like indie folk; rainy day songs and minimal piano vocal covers; I hope this version keeps you company for a while.

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.
