Long time acoustic guitar strummer went electronic several years ago: these are some of my latest creations. I would like to call these songs "singer songwriter material with fully fleshed electronic arrangements", but that's quite a mouthful so I call them simply 'alternative'. The 'folktronic' material (traditional songs with electronic arrangements) have been moved to a page here on SoundClick called 'YMMV'. If there's anything that catches your ear, drop me a line.

Story behind the song
In 1972, I had the idea of creating a band whose musical direction would be similar to that of Cadence & Cascade, along with Sandy Denny's "Who knows where the time goes" and "The sea" - lots of open guitar chords along with a sunny flute (true, there's no flute on the Sandy songs, but the guitar obbligatos could easily be transformed to warbling on the flute). The group would be called Antibes - because of the jazz festival held in the city on the French riviera (Cote d'Azur). It seemed the perfect sunny name for the sunny music that I had in mind. The idea never reached fruition primarily because I didn't know anyone who played the flute! Somehow a female violinist was suggested, and I remember that one rehearsal was held with the violinist and a bassist (and me on acoustic guitar), playing my song "Sunday Rain", but nothing else came of this. I know that I wrote 'The road to Antibes' so that the group would have some material, but looking back on it now, RTTA was not really the right kind of song.
