06 Jagged Edge

Track 9 from my 2025 album Sketches of Space. A homage to the Genesis original, but with Mellotron "soft strings" for smoother sound, instead of the original's brass/strings combination.

09 Watcher of the Skies 2

Track 8 from my 2025 album Sketches of Space. Mainly based around Korg NTS-1 arpeggiator patterns with Korg X-50 lead lines added.

08 Voyage Through The Void

Track 7 from my 2025 album Sketches Of Space. Based around a Korg NTS-1 arpeggiator pattern, with synth washes from Korg X-50 added.

07 Orbit

Track 6 from my 2025 album Sketches of Space. A short random montage of Korg NTS-1 synth sounds inspired by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's synth experiments during the 1970s.

06 Phantom Frequencies

Track 5 from my 2025 album Sketches of Space. Built around arpeggiator patterns on the Korg NTS-1, using the J6 oscillator.

05 Pulse 24

Based upon Tangerine Dream's 'Mysterious Semblance At The Strand of Nightmares' (w. Edgar Froese) this uses the Streetlytron '63 app's "Session Strings" to emulated the Mellotron of the original, the whole thing put to a 4/4 beat, arranged by CM.

04 Tangerine Planet

Track 3 from my 2025 album Sketches Of Space. Largely improvised, this features the Korg NTS-1 and X-50 Midi'd together, plus Mellotron choir added for atmosphere.

03 Adrift

Track 2 from my 2025 album Sketches of Space. Built around a Korg NTS-1 arpeggiator pattern with added sonar 'pings' and Mellotron.

02 Sequence Seven

Track 1 from my 2025 album Sketches of Space. Reminiscent of Library Music, written to provide the opening titles to a documentary on science or space exploration. The background arrangement is largely a preset on the Korg X-50 workstation, a great platform for ideas.

01 Opening Titles

Hi everyone. Here's my cover of the Amy Winehouse song "Wake Up Alone" from her famous album Back to Black. I started this cover on Wednesday then finished it later on Thursday. This was recorded at my new house, and on my new Mac computer using the recording program Reaper, which has already been an amazing experience. 

I played the piano on the Korg Grandstage, my Ibanez guitar (Steve 1) for the two guitar parts miked with the Vox amp, my five string bass going direct (with some added tweaking to remove the top frequency), and the drums are from a new favorite sample library called Sun Drums.

Covering this song was a fun exercise to get me ready for completing my original material inspired by Winehouse, and the first full song with my new recording equipment. I hope you like it.
