Dedicated tight rhythm section groove with sampled vocoded passion from Helen McDonald on vocals.

Rec-order... feat Helen McDonald on vox...

This is the 5th excerpt from The Emirali Inertia.  The chordal idea came about  whist doing a piano gig in a  famous high class London hotel.  Anyhow I was not really cut out for the job. I finally was not asked to play there as I kept playing too loud.  Hence the title of this tune.  I say good and fuck em. Yeh cause thats all I ever wanted to be,  a hotel pianist playing for businessmen and hookers.

Soft too loud no crowd

Jazzy down tempo slow jam with free - wheeling piano hinting at melody but not really nailing one down. Complimented by lovely electronic bleeps, synth string bursts and bass booms on the one. A real crowd pleaser of a jam.

Don't jump up and down inside cupboards

The last preview track from my new album... The Emirali Inertia......A tune made up of just piano changes.  No conscious time, just free expression. The only tune with just one instrument a piano.
