Justified

The daily grind of work destroys the soul.

Everyday

We spend our lives getting old and trying to fight the inevitable end.

Toxic

We have been screwed over by a tiny virus. Is the end coming?

Invisibly

We live, we die. Were do we go when we die?

Great Unknown

Something about working like a slave in an environment fucked up by the masters.

The Urge to Escape this Urban Shit Fight is Strong.

The earth will reclaim  all empires. At fourteen hundred Ks an hour, we cannot sense her spin. Like flees building empires, on a giant creature’s skin. Came and went the terrors, the lands they changed their face, subduction of the species, evolution sets the pace. Beneath the Carbon Skies.
On shifting sands and time.
Heavy-footed running man is running out of days.
The nimble fingered thief, can’t take the liar’s words.
The speed of light cannot escape the watcher’s gaze.
Amoebas become leaders, aiming high toward the sky, our monuments and pavements will decay before our eyes.
Building towers of wants and needs, foundations run so deep, atop the rotting corpse of truth, beneath we are asleep. Build it up, tear it down, crush it down into the ground. Build t up, tear it down, spilling out across the ground. Stumbling around in our Brownian existence,
Oblivious to the mill, we are the fodder. The new belongs to yesterday, tomorrow is a lie. Today is just a memory, and then we die. At fourteen hundred Ks an hour, freewheeling out of gear. Listening to bullshit when there’s so much more to hear. Self absorbed and blinkered, time is running out,
The crush is coming soon they say, there’s no doubt.


Carbon Skies (Lyrics)

I am a musician, songwriter, producer exploring the sonic fabric of music, and voicing ideas about life, the universe and whatever may steal my attention. I'd like to take you on a journey. 
I think the earliest music I listened to was dad’s Johnny Cash and Frankie Lane records. Eventually I found The Sweet and Deep Purple and then Zeppelin and Sabbath. All of these bands blew my mind. Heavy riffs and in your face vocals seemed to hit the spot. I just had to get a guitar and learn what these cats were doing, and I did. Van Halen and Nugent followed, and then Queen, in particular when I heard Ogre Battle.
The logical next step was to get into a band and play. Mad Shadows was the first regular gigging band I play in formed with a couple of great mates. We had a lot of fun if nothing else.
Keyboards were always a fascination, particularly John Lord’s playing (RIP man), and in the early 80s I got hold of a Roland Juno 6 (still got it too), and opened up to Human League, Heaven 17, Simple Minds and many other great synth bands. I got myself a Teac 3440 4 track recorder at about the same time, and started making SFX circuits to use in Mad Shadows with the Roland. I loved the experimental attitude in the 80s and embraced the cool sounds. Other bands followed where the synth was becoming more central and got some good use. 
With the 90s, there came a shift back to the guitar and live work with The Big Bang, Bent Beyond Belief, Hidden Agenda and other jams with my great friend Stephen (again, RIP brother). The Gunners, Sound Garden and Pearl Jam were reclaiming rock n roll, and my six string trigger fingers were itching. The old 3440 was starting to tire and so I went digital in the mid 90s. 
The 2000s were fruitful. Exploring a range of different textures and rhythms the PC was worked into the ground. An originals band Steel and Stone, and then a Zeppelin covers band followed giving the PC recording a rest. Live jamming is hot. There is nothing like it. 
In about 2007 I returned to recording my originals and produced 3 sets to 2010. In 2011, I played with The Kamikaze Flying Club for a short while where we had some more fun in the live format. Itching to write some more originals, I left to focus on something else entirely and found I had a few more ideas I thought should be articulated and recorded a double set in 2014.
The bulk of the list here is from 2014, however, I will throw in some earlier stuff if I may. I hope you enjoy the sounds. Cheers.
