Touch & Glow Touch & Glow
A re-working of a song by Bill Nelson which was originally issued as a vinyl 45 EP in 1982. My new version is less 'angular' and hard edged as his original recording.
Why Get Up ('Live') Why Get Up ('Live')
My own take on a great song originally by The Fabulous Thunderbirds. I've attempted to make this sound as if it was recorded 'live'.
Gimme Some Lovin' With Some Rhythm & Blues Gimme Some Lovin' With Some Rhythm & Blues
If I could ever get a band together again, this is probably what we'd sound like. This is a 'mock' live recording which hopefully recreates the 'feel' of a live gig. Turn it up to 11, get a drink but mind you don't spill it over my pedal-board !
Inside The Ogallala Aquifer Inside The Ogallala Aquifer
A longish (8:00 minutes) ambient/experimental soundtrack for exploring the hidden depths and strangeness of flooded underground cave systems such as The Ogallala Aquifer. I don't know if this is actually a possibility, so imagination is needed here.
Make Your Own Movies (with William Burroughs) Make Your Own Movies (with William Burroughs)
An experimental piece in two distinct parts. William Burroughs offers advice on photography and making your own movies !
Rainy Day Beat Poem #1 (just booze and madness) Rainy Day Beat Poem #1 (just booze and madness)
An experimental piece with added voice samples. I've used the voice of a well known 'Beat Poet' in what I hope is a sympathetic and interesting musical backdrop.
Radio Messages For Orphee (Extended version) Radio Messages For Orphee (Extended version)
I've always enjoyed the classic film, 'Orphee' by French artist/Poet Jean Cocteau. This experimental piece is inspired by a section of that film
What You're Doing (Instrumental Rock Option) What You're Doing (Instrumental Rock Option)
An instrumental version of this classic song from The Beatles For Sale album (LP). I've tried to sing this one but found it a little too difficult so I decided it would have to be an instrumental. As it happens, I think it's rather good.
