Music

If you are going to make a noise, make a musical one. You get less hassle from the neighbours, and you may even make a little money.

Here are various compositions and recordings of mine - you can read a discography here. The tracks are presented in no particular order and range from acoustic 4 track cassette recordings, 16 and 24 track analog studio productions, digital reworkings and entirely digital recordings.

Many of the tracks here are collaborations musically; thanks to all the friends who have written and recorded with me, for your encouragement and patience as I do it "... once more, can we just try this?"

I particularly must credit (in true longwinded 70s album-cover style) Michael Bending, Mark Crook, for the early years, Sam Burford, Jeremy Bunce, Dominic Thomas for being well arty with sound, Kevin Goldsborough, Richard Woods, Andrew Carroll, Ashley Slater, for my contribution to their songwriting, Guy Sigsworth, Peredur Ap Gwynneth, Bill Burdis, Paul and Ross Godfrey for the great education I gave them, and endless thanks to Michelle Drees, Paul Cavaciuti, Tree Peacock, Shuggie Murphy, Emma Whittle and Sovra Wilson-Dickson for my inspiring musical abilities. Thanks also to Chris Stevenson for plotting the Revolution, Mick and Emma for reminding me what that hole is for, and Andrew Lagowski (his S.E.T.I - Geometry of Night CD featured here) for for giving me my first production jobs and exposing me to drumbox technology years before everyone using it became hip (like us...)

Somebody Tells Me (Video) 1991

All lead vocals, arrangements, melodies and lyrics are mine, except Detention which was co-written with Sam Burford, Freedom which was arranged by, co-written and performed with Ashley Slater, Stop the Dreams which was co-produced with Paul Godfrey and stars Bridget on female vocal, and Survival Game Radio Edit, which was co-written with the hugely Mike Turtle and remixed to a pop pulp by an unknown but clearly fantastically talented German engineer.

I'll add narrative about the tracks eventually....

Check out meTzo which is a project I worked on in 1998-9 with Mick Martin and Emma Whittle.

These tracks are in Real Media (.rm) format. NB: Make sure you download the free Real Player!
