Tones And Nothing More

Photo: La Paz, Bolivia 2013, pixels on purpose...

Started as bass groove after going to a Thundercat gig, needed something else so came up with the 11 note repeating figure on guitar which was then doubled on keys to give an almost Steve Reich type effect. 

One to check out start to finish if you have the time, thanks for listening. For the guitar geeks there's a wee solo at the end.

Drums: NI Karriem Riggins.
Bass: Warwick 5-string Corvette through NI Guitar Rig and during the 11 note sequence section sustained notes on NI Monark synth bass.
Guitars: Suhr Custom Classic and Strandberg Salen Jazz through a few instances of NI Guitar Rig. Short solo at the end is the Suhr.
Keys: various NI, Arturia and Spitfire.
Mastering: Ozone 10 Standard.
DAW: Ableton 12.

Talk It Up

A positive and hopeful track that I build around a nice little piano idea. I recorded some live acoustic guitars to add more energy and liveliness to the piece.

A song to the dispossessed

All the while you see the big people laughing
Drinking wine and loving living the dream
No-one stops to ask you hey, how you doing??
Seems the world, it’s leaving you behind

Find a corner in an old, dirty bus stop
Shelter there until the chill goes away
Cry to mama but you know she can’t reach you
Cry to papa but he’s long gone away

You need some water but you’re tired and you’re aching
The cars and people drive by
You look to the sky and think you can’t really make it
Then it rains and all my thoughts wash away

You look to the sky and think you can’t really make it
Then it rains and all my thoughts wash away

be good

Weightless - Paploviante with Nicholas Ridiculous

A request from a dear friend whom I have known since I was 17. 
We have shared some wonderful times through the years, on the Isle of Arran, Edinburgh and France. She is a constant light, and I give thanks for her friendship.
Recorded this morning, guitar and vocal together, then added some mouthie

Carey ( Joni Mitchell )

Simple, Not Easy

Walkin away, walkin away from myself 
Walkin away, walkin away from the rain in 
my head 

This life is just drainin 
Don’t want to try anymore 
This brain in my head 
Well It’s filled with locked doors
The keys that I need
I can’t seem to find 
And though I keep on searching 
The path..ain’t in my mind 

Walking away, walking away from myself
Walking away from the rain in my head

Everyday, the road seems to turn
And everyday, I can’t seem to learn
I’m sorry for me, the person I am
Well I’m walking away, far away from him 

Walkin away, walking away from myself
Walkik away, walking away from the rain in my head 

Tell me I’m wrong,
Tell me I’m right 
I sleep through the day, and cry through the night 
My heart it ain’t black, but my eyes they are gray
This demon inside, doesn’t want me to stay  

So I’m walking away, walking away from myself
Walking away, walking away from the rain in my head

Walkin’ away from myself

Sad to say my trips to 'The Headstone' on Sheffield's Hallam Moor have been curtailed by my arthritic knees. But...I can see my old friend from afar and hope to commune with it one day.

The Sad and Lonely King

Herewith a lovely collab with Amanda, just as the title suggests we had to do some searching before everything clicked together at a certain point :)

Very happy with the lyrics and melody that Amanda came up with!
Hope you'll enjoy it too!

Floating, drifting away
Searching for peace of mind
Looking back to no avail 
No answers there to find

Looking back does not pay
No answers there to find.

Hope, faith, a glimmer of light, 
Somewhere in sight.
Maybe not visible today 
They are there anyway.

Forever searching, endless reaching,
imploring, beseeching, futile teaching,
The answers come from within,
Silence the demons cleanse your skin,

The answers come from within,
Silence the demons cleanse your skin.
And I know even if we grow,
We reap what we sow, 
For some reason, and in the end,
May we find love, passion, peace and friends.

Wane of Summer & Amanda Sanderson - Searching

In case of any royalty dispute when he's older, I pilfered the guitar idea from my son while he was strumming....

Sitting back 
waiting on the world to know our names
Wake to the daily news
here we go
once again

Well it's a matter of time
until someone disappears
but I'd rather be blind
and be stuck with you

Off like the bullet train
There you go once again
In the eye of the hurricane
there she blows

Well it's a matter of time
until someone disappears
But I'd rather be blind
and be stuck with you

Sometime
we'll be sitting all night
Sometime
Maybe we'll be alright
Sometime
we'll be sitting all night
Sometime
Maybe we'll be alright

We only dream of lives that disappear
disappear
We only dream of life

Sitting back
waiting on the world to know our names
Watching beneath the waves
there you stand
home again..

Anticipation

Mostly I make ambient/melancholic electronic music. Or I play the piano. 
Sometimes there will be faster songs. And sporadically I will do something different. 

Thanks to everyone who takes time to listen to my tracks, or likes them, or reposts them... much appreciated <3
