A song about how music can turn things around after a grey day, unexpectedly turning up through the side door like an old friend

Side Door

I found this Northumbrian pipe tune in a manuscript. It's called 'Over the Border' and I think was about Hadrian's Wall. I got a slight obsession with the sound of this tune, and the idea of borders. How humans perceive and create borders which do not exist in nature, and what this means for the world.

If you like the track and you want to support me to make more music, you can buy it here cheap as actual chips: https://frankiearcher.bandcamp.com/track/over-the-border

The World`s Worst Builder 2

As she opened the front door she felt an overwhelming sense of excitement. Her toes were tingling in the very shoes within which she stood. Someone had once told her that this was a thrillhouse, a place to be found and discovered not merely visited. She had come alone, joking with her friends she had left their company indicating that she would be having a quiet night at home alone. Now, a million miles away, she found herself in the middle of nowhere ready to enter the fun factory. 

Max Graef, a musical mogul with a prolific back catalogue and a charming personality. His sound has evolved through genre and style across several years as he continues to blend the glitch and distortion of oddball hip hop alongside house and funk. Always one to surprise he now releases on Schwarz 12 Records.
