Thomas season 1-2

Here is a cover I recorded of "Trying To Do Things Better," from the 2005 special "Calling All Engines." This is one of my favourite Welch tunes, and I've been very much looking forward to doing this one. There's something so cool about the chord progression of this song. This song even has some more of those classic Welch tritone intervals. 
This cover was a blast to arrange and produce, and I hope you all enjoy. Cheers!

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining (Cover By HH)

Thought I'd take a crack at a classic one, probably one the more 'ambient' pieces of Series 1 but the cabasa makes it sound so busy at the same time, such a nice nod to the sound of Thomas' pistons.

Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends - Extended Theme

The Fat Controller's Theme (Season 1)

“Echoes of Goodbye” is a hauntingly beautiful instrumental that captures the quiet ache of parting ways—whether with a person, a place, or a past self. The track unfolds like a whispered farewell, led by a tender piano melody that floats through silence and space.

Subtle orchestral swells rise and fall like memories resurfacing, only to fade again. Each note lingers with intention, carrying the weight of what’s left unsaid.

Composed for anyone who’s ever had to let go—gracefully or not—this piece offers a moment of stillness to feel the echo, reflect, and move forward.

🎧 Best experienced with headphones, late at night, when goodbyes feel the loudest.

This time, I merely helped with the mixing (though it was fun.)

You can still download this from our Google Drive folder in the "Originals" section. Glad you guys have enjoyed this so much over these past 3 years! --Chris

Henry's Super Rescue Theme

I find it really aggravating that there isn't a full version of He's A Really Useful Engine in Thomas and the Magic Railroad. So I tried making a full version of the song using the original version, instrumental version, and the one from the tv series. It ain't perfect, but I'm really proud on how this turned out.

Composed by Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell.

TATMR Really Useful Engine (Full Version)

Using the Proteus, Jupiter and some payware orchestral stuff I have, I managed to make my favorite song of all time. I've been working on this since June and am really proud of this. I took elements of the original song, the 2012 re-recording, and the live performance at Hyde Park.
I hope you all enjoy this!

and yes the vocoder you hear in this is me

Mr Blue Sky

Here's an oldie but a goldie. It's an updated version of my "Percy" arrangement from about a year ago. I think I'm a much better mixing engineer than when I first made this, so I went back in and spruced it up, and gave it a more realistic "live band" sound. Hope you all enjoy!
