If I'm completely honest, this song just came out of nowhere.  I had some dirty electronic beats that I was messing with and a keyboard hook.  At the time of writing the lyrics, I was thinking about this studio apartment that I used to live in back in 2012 in Manchester.  I had this awesome job that I loved, living 10 minutes from work, I had loads of time for music and I was running lots and lifting weights regularly and generally just felt like I had a good control over my life.

At the time of writing, I'd played a gig a few months before in a venue called The Good Ship in North West London.  It was actually a gig my former band Bilamie had meant to play but we'd broken up a few weeks before so I decided to get my s**t together and play a solo electronic style gig.  On that night, there was an group called Of Embla @ofembla playing, the singer was called Maiken.  I already heard one of her songs online called 'Puppet' and it kind of blew me away.  It was sultry, dark, sexy, jazzy and just a combination of pure magic.  I got talking to her on that evening and we said we would work together at some point.

So I when this track came up, I asked if she'd like to sing the chorus.  When she came over to record, she brought a poem she had written called Chaos Machine.  We had a jam to incorporate it into the song and she did this awesome performance, just speaking the words to the music... I loved it and thought it fitted perfectly - she sounded powerful (like when I felt I had control over my life), the lyrics were coherent but disjointed (like the lyrics in the first part of the song) and the performance was perfect.

Raat Ka Nasha is a rough translation from Hindi meaning 'Enchanted Evening'.

Lyrics:
Warm nights
Walls are windows wide
Gentle wind blows
Over my skin
Circulating

Indian spices, home is
Stubbed roach and rollies
In my finest wine glass
Rocks of ice

Every night is
Soft, unfocused
Long contented sighs

Every night is
Long, unfocused
Long contented sighs

Every, every, every night is mine
Every, every, every night is mine
Every, every, every night is mine

City air, city noise
Summer bliss intoxicated joy
Just like my mind
Alive with
A streaming of feelings and drive
These evenings of diving and crashing and
Blissfully feeling my place
In the world

Raat Ka Nasha
Raat Ka Nasha
Raat Ka Nasha
Raat Ka Nasha
Raat Ka Nasha
Raat Ka Nasha
Raat Ka Nasha
Raat Ka Nasha

Every, every, every night is mine
Every, every, every night is mine
Every, every, every night is mine

Calm, chaos
Chaos machine
Machinery
Rhythm
Rhythm and blues kitchenettwork..
Coffe shop - ping basket - ball..
Calm, chaos machin - ery - thm..

Idelogically speaking,
On behalf of..
Me? You!
The panel has spoken,
Solar panel - electricity
Chaos machinery

Temsy - Shotty House

In 2002 I put my name forward for a band development course at Red Tape Studios in Sheffield. Anyone selected would work with the music management and production students over a nine month period on recording and playing live along with seminars on all aspects of the industry. I submitted a demo under the name bRoKeN fAcE (didn't like the idea of being a solo artist so came up with an alter ego) and after playing a showcase set at the studio, I was picked for the course. It was a great way of meeting people and my first experience of professional recording, working with Tom Henthorne who I have remained friends with ever since and am now working with again on my current projects

World's Too Quiet

To show the creative process of a song, here's the three versions of our first single 'Blessed Or Cursed'. It started as a rough sketch played into a dictaphone back in 2001 under the name 'Insomnia Relief', developed into a demo recorded in a garden over the hot summer of 2002 and was worked on from time to time over the next 18 years until we recorded it properly last year for the album 'Spring The Locks'. From small seeds...
