The darker intro subverted my expectations, it opened into something more dreamy and melodic.  I like that plucking arp.  I think a vocal would take this piece further.

Your melodies and evolving arrangements are always so intriguing and a bit unexpected. Really like the vibe of this, would work so well with your voice.

Needles and Pins

Needles and pins,
 Needles and pins,
 Sew me a sail
 To catch me the wind.
 Sew me a sail
 Strong as the gale,
 Carpenter, bring out your
 Hammers and nails.
 Hammer and nails,
 Hammer and nails,
 Build me a boat
 To go chasing the whales.
 Chasing the whales,
 Sailing the blue,
 Find me a captain
 And sign me a crew.
 Captain and crew,
 Captain and crew,
 Take me, oh take me
 To anywhere new.

Just something to get into the "spooky" spirit.  This is a great song Written by Sam the Sham & the Pharoahs in 1966.  I hope i did it justice.  All credit should go to the creator

Amazing Grace - Music By Ritchie Vuiti

I'm a singer songwriter and for the last few years I've been making my music with nothing more than an old iPhone and an iPad mini. I have tried to overcome the obvious limitations of having no actual instruments by exploring the world of music making apps. Hopefully along the way I have created some ear-catching, toe-tapping music with complex and unusual arrangements, bleakly evocative lyrics and a big indie atmosphere.  As a result, I think this collection of songs is unlike anything else you will hear on SoundCloud. Lend me your ears and find out for yourself! 

Drop me a comment (good or bad) - I will usually reply.
 
BIG Love to all those who actually listen.

Don't be a stranger...

With love, hope and despair,

About the clocktoys: me plus occasional others (but usually just me). I have written songs from a tender age and never let the hysterical laughter grind me down (well, not often). I taught myself to play keyboards with the mighty Casio VL 1 perched on top of my little sister's toy organ (the old asthmatic wheezing kind made from elastic bands, glue and the cheapest plastics known to man).
I enjoy the creative freedom of writing alone and my music is, frankly, a muddle of influences veering off in different directions. Which is a good thing in my book.
As well as my music I may also eventually get round to reading some short stories (do i hear a a low murmur of pleasure at the back?). Basically, I'll be boring the arse off you in as many different ways as I can think of.
I like: music from many different styles past and present but in my writing I often look back to classic indie music like: the smiths; aztec camera; cocteau twins; the associates; badly drawn boy; new order; teardrop explodes; japan; early omd; echo and the bunnymen
I wish: i could play the guitar like Johnny Marr; sing better

If you've read all the way down to here, can I please say a little thank you, embrace you in a manly way, and ask that you keep listening. One day I'll get it right!
