Fun Facts:
* Another Star in the Sky is dedicated to George’s father, who passed away around the time of its creation.
* He never heard it.
* In the evening of the day when Mr Davies senior died, the sky was cloudy and only one star could be seen.
* Another Star in the Sky was almost named Another Scar in the Sty due to an outburst of mispronunciation.
* This would have been appropriate in some ways, because George (bass) and Dave (drums) were playing in a kick-ass folk band called Pyg at the same time.
* Pyg’s live performances could be a bit hit-or-miss, due to some of the dynamics within the band.
= Some of Pyg’s songs can be heard in the Archives section of the Wud Records website.
* Another Star in the Sky is based around the acoustic guitar part.
* It is in 6/8 time at a sedate 75 BPM.
* The key is G# minor, and it ends on a B major.
* Lucy’s cello copies the acoustic’s melody.
* George’s son Dan helped with the recording of the Stratocaster solos.
* Dan took up playing guitar that day and has now become a fabulous and accomplised player.
* No real horn players could be found at the time, so those parts were played using MIDI.
* The horn parts are actually quite amusing and rather scrappy.
* One of the guitar parts was made by setting the old Marshall to the most horrible sound possible, with maximum overdrive, presence and treble, and no mid or bass.
* The idea for this came from a track by Tindersticks, called Vertrauen II, from their second album.
* Dave was wincing as if to say “This just isn’t gonna work!”
* The part was dropped back in the mix and treated to a little reverb and it was “just right”.
* The idea for the simple yet distinct piano came from a piece George used to play on piano as a boy of about nine.
* It was from Forest Fantasies by Walter Carroll.

This is my band's debut single.  We started with this song because the White Dove has great personal significance to each of us as a symbol of peace, love, faith, hope, redemption, and acceptance, and is also a powerful symbol of the Holy Spirit.   
This is the universal story of getting lost and seeking redemption, the search for truth, the hope to always find the way home.

White Dove

White Dove by Gravity Blinks

Inspired by the results of using vocal clips on Air, Icons continued in the same vein. A house/trance mashup with gratuitos use of sine falls and a synthesised ‘bye’, it concludes with a melancholic, repetitive synth that reminds us of Soft Cell and laments the recent [at the time] loss of two icons; Bowie and Prince.

Revelation

Icons

This track is inspired by 70s funk and disco, merged with modern electronica. I am not quite sure what tags would do it the most justice. Suggestions are welcome!

Funk it up

I see the beauty in everything 
From the dirt on the floor to the paint on the ceiling 
I see light 
I see life 
I see love everywhere 
From that most infectious smile to that vacant stare 
I see light 
I see life 
I see dreams every day 
From the people up on stage to the bodies in the graves 
I see light 
I see life 
I see wonder on the face of every child 
From the angel in the corner to the one that drives you wild 
I see light 
I see life 
I see relief, I see them jump around 
I see belief in their faces as they mingle with the crowd 
I see light 
I see life 
I see miracles blowing on the summer breeze 
From the clouds in the sky to the leaves on the trees 
I see light 
I see life 
I see peace for everyone 
Stick a white flower in the barrel of your gun 
I see light 
I see life 
And I felt comfort in all I feel and see 
The moment I realised it can't just be me 
Who sees light 
And who sees life 
Do you see light 
Do you see life 
Do you see light 
Do you see life

A full time, freelance children's book illustrator, introduced to Magix music making software in January 2014.  Haven't been near music production since school about a hundred years ago.  Can't play a note, and sing like a drain unblocking - Hence any music I may eventually have the nerve to upload is all created using midi/vst instruments playing compositions created in the piano roll editor.   The Magix forum dedicated to music production is the only place to suffer my creations so far.  Didn't realise it could be so much fun though.  Woohoo.

Join me and a lot of other artists at www.atomcollectorrecords.com.
Get more plays for your tracks and meet a lot of awesome people!
Cheers!
