An underground anthem for anyone who has stayed at home during 2020...

As we being to leave a year of the UK lockdown, I've written my first (and only) song about it, called "The New Normal."

It you like it, please support me on BandCamp...

p.s. If you stay to end, you'll realise it's a different song to what you thought it was going to be...

The New Normal

There are two components to this track - the planets, and the cosmos.

The planets are represented by the pulsating bass drones, each moving in and out of the listeners perception according to the duration of their respective orbits. Only the first six planets are considered (that is, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) since to include Uranus and Neptune would require a *much* longer piece of music for their influence to be heard.

Furthermore, the pitch of these notes matches that of the planet itself, albeit in a significantly different octave!

Secondly, the cosmos appears courtesy of sounds from the Halley VLF receiver. These are spherics, whistlers and chorus which originate from lightning strikes and the like. They come courtesy of Nigel Meredith, a Space Weather Research Scientist at the British Antarctic Survey. For the science bit, do visit

There is also a 5.1 mix available to institutions.

If you can't get Jean-Michel Jarre to appear on your track, there's always me!

Memes are the last refuge of language, with entire conversations being had using them. So what would a love song sound like, if all the words were memes?

This!

Or watch the pop video:

Don't miss the archaic rap meme at 3'00 which replaces the original chorus with an equivalent 1800's lyric.

The Meme Song

I decided to write a film score.
I decided to use one synthesizer.
The synthesizer in question can play only one note at a time.


This is the result...
