It’s me.
I’m going back to work tomorrow, but I was listening to a load more old tunes today (TV is still complete rubbish) and I came across the stuff I did when I first got into electronica.
In general, I’m a bit of a genre chameleon - there’s not a lot of styles of music I don’t like and these aren’t particularly representative of most of my stuff. These tracks are a couple of synth/sample based tunes I wrote for an abortive video project a friend of mine was working on. Gathering dust now, but available for your listening pleasure!

I wrote this song to perform at the funeral of our 9 year old nephew who died earlier this year in a tragic accident - for some reason, the whole thing came together in an afternoon, with none of the issues that I normally encounter when writing/recording. It just goes to show that sometimes simplicity is best.
It was one of the hardest performances I have ever had to do - I was unable to look at anyone in the room whilst singing, and to be honest I haven’t been able to listen to it since.
As the TV was so utterly shite today, I’ve spent a couple of hours wandering through my old music. It’s unbelievable how many tracks I’ve got - although to be completely honest I never really considered any of them “finished”.
Anyway, rather than letting these songs and ideas rot, I’ve decided to post them here over the next few weeks. Hopefully someone will like them, if you do, then please link back here as I’ve no idea how else I’ll get people to listen!
Enjoy…
