Music
6-21-08 Trying to both 'make a noise' and be more wordy. Not my best but I'm happy with it all the same and I think that's the point.
5/25/08: Another attempt at a ballad. Described as good enough but not my best :)
May 11th 2008. First recorded song, 3rd or 4th in the set from my set of songs based on Ken Grimwood's Replay. Future Inc is the story of the company our hero sets up to become rich.
04-11-08 I'm pretty happy with this one. Written from a melody first which is rare for me. Lots of guitars and too much production but 'tis what it 'tis.
03-08-08 Wanted to do something based around a guitar figure but I'm not that good at thinking them up. Mostly made the vocals up as I went though I recorded them a few times to get them as best as I could.
02-08-2008 This is a version of the John Tully (aka Cracks) song he recently wrote. His is a great and moody acoustic piece. I wanted to rock it up after my acoustic break. This supergroup features Dave Criddle on bass.
Check out the Tully vers
02-24-08 The last one, so I did it. Not a bad song, I was short of ideas for the 10th tune but it turned out OK I think.
02-21-08 RPM #8. Always trying to add some variation. A random hodge podge of words and melodies and tempo's all mixed into one song
2-20-08 RPM acoustic song #8 I reached a point where I was not sure I could pull of 10 songs but I think I'll do it now. This song turned out just like intended which is surprisingly rare for me. Don't be fooled by the false start :)
2-17-08 Song #7 in Feb 2008. Perhaps a little more disjointed. Recorded a lot then chopped it around in Acid to fix it up.
2-11-08 RPM song #6. Needed to break my 2 day slump. A little rough perhaps but captures the moment
02-08-08 5th song for the RPM challenge. Trying to do something different than the last four. Don't be misled by the rowdy title, this is slow lyrics driven song.
02-07-08 The nearest thing you might ever hear to a protest song from me. Perhaps not as strong as 1-3
02-06-08 RPM #3, 3rd song in my acoustic 'set'
2-5-08 Second song for the RPM Challenge. Based around the recent Sci Fi Movie - Sunshine
2-4-08 My first acoustic song for the RPM Challenge
1-26-2008 Perhaps more like the kind of music I'd like to make if I really knew what I was doing. Lots of guitar noise, based around a song by the Band of Horses though it sounds nothing like them
1-20-08 Another slice of MOR Rock/Pop. Vocals are shakey at the end but I kind of ran out of steam but still think the song is good enough to post
12-12-07 A fairly straight forward rock song, even for me. Started as a slower acoustic song but ended up as this
11-29-07 Once again trying something different and once again ending up sounding much like I always do. Inspired by the Dandy Warhols I would say.
11-12-07 Trying to do something a little different, especially with the lyrics. I like it and I hope you do.
10-13-07 Finished a couple of months ago but I was never happy with the lyrics or singing. I rerecorded them this week. Only 1 guitar, 1 bass, 1 synth track on this one.
10-07-2007 Another song. First time recording live acoustic guitar, trying to sing like Jarvis again.
9-14-07 Longer than my usual stuff. One where I decided enough was enough so it contains a few flaws but I like it :)
8-12-07 The result of a 7 day effort to record something. Pop rock, attempted hook, written and played by me. Tambourine included
