Really nice ambience and vocal performance. Unique and full of personality! Great work :D

I had to ‘fave’ this just because the previous ‘likes’ count was at 666, this deserves better!  😈

Where The Unfortunate Dwell (Unfortunation)

This came out of a piece I'd been developing over a couple of weeks, searching for variations around a central theme on felt piano. After a couple of less than successful attempts at developing the track with a fixed bpm I ended up freestyling it as an improv with some subtle drones from Spitfire labs Foghorn, a unique and free library of sounds derived from recordings of the Sumburgh head Foghorn on Shetland. 
One of the options in the labs library is a selection of engine room noises from the two diesel engines that power the foghorn, I wondered whether the engine room could stand in for percussion on the track and here is the result. Thanks for taking time out to check it out.

intro voice, my 93 year old Mum, talking about her Mum.....Emily.

While on my own i find myself lost in the past
maybe i should step back and leave well alone
For there you are ready to receive me
feel safe and warm wrapped in the arms of emily

long ago wished i could have told you so
such a long time ago ooh how i loved you so
ooh how i loved you so....emily

you were gone in a blink of an eye
i should have come and whispered goodbye
 i was young but it doesnt ease the hurting
age is not an excuse its all i have

long ago wished i could have told you so
such a long time ago ooh how i loved you so
ooh how i loved you so....emily

Lyrics: 

A Hand to Hold Forever

A hand to hold forever in this world
A hand to hold forever

A simple question: what do you want?
Shouldn't have to answer with excuses and caveats
I pursued everything and I felt no fear
At the end of the line everything is clear
All I really need is

A hand to hold forever in this world
A hand to hold forever

It was unexpected, out of the blue
Didn't fear rejection - you knew what was true
The world was no longer what it seemed to me
Just a simple gesture was everything to me
All I really need is

A hand to hold forever in this world
A hand to hold forever

The end is coming, I'm gonna disappear
Memories are flooding, some I hold so dear
One surpasses everything, stands outside of time
Feeling the warmth of your loving hand in mine.
Oh I think I found it

A hand to hold forever in this world
A hand to hold forever

EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

Mood Exhibit - Affiniti

To quote Josh
"This is a song that began as a bass line I came up with on my four string fretless over a looper. I shared it with Ken (K2 and the Three [and Four], Stephen (Tex Mex Shaman), and Tez (Llanpsych) through BandLan, which we're all on. Ken came up with some perfect drums, as always, to prop up the whole thing. Tez added some killer guitar solos, which you can hear more towards the end, with the ripping tone. Stephen then came in and added the talk box guitar and wah guitar that you hear playing the hook more towards the beginning. It's my first song ever featuring a talk box, and I'm amazed with the part he came up with. It's a major line against my minor bass line. I love how it sounds! Stephen also was kind enough to mix the beast for us, which turned out to be a herculean task. But he was up to it, and a fine job he did, too. It was an honor and a pleasure to work with these guys. We all hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it"
