Imagine a city hidden in the desert, virtually unknown to the world.
My soft synth takes a back seat here to support the hardware synths. ...
No More Time For Toys
electronic, downtempo, instrumental
A wistful tune reflecting on the lost innocence of childhood.
An Enchanted Valley
electronic, alternative, instrumental, Easy Listening
In the Scottish highlands there is a valley that hides a castle in shrouds of early morning mist so high and thick not even the turrets show. As the sun burns away the mist the castle, moat and hamlets slowly emerge in all their glory. I've seen this once, but could never find the valley again.
Dancer
electronic, instrumental, novelty
Some images of carnivals & fairground rides etc.
All Of My Sunrises (are shades of grey)
pop, vocal, romantic
Inspiration is a very strange thing. On this occasion there were a number of quite separate things going on in my world.
It was early spring and someone had commented on magnificant sunrises they were seeing. My reply was that lately, with almost continuous rain, it seemed all my sunrises were just shades of grey. Someone else commented that it sounded like a song title.
At that time I had just devised a new voice patch for my favourite synthesiser, and had recorded just a few chords. Quite unexpectedtly I played a few notes that exactly fitted the phrase \\\'All of my sunrises are shades of grey\\\'.
Some six months previously, I had gone to the funeral of a very dear friend and had been deeply touched by how alone his widow suddenly looked. This must have been going round in the back of my mind, and once triggered by that phrase, and the sad melody, the entire song was written and the music substantially recorded in one day. Normally a composition takes months for me to develop.
My next problem was singing. I collaborated with a friend who did a very good job, but have always wanted to sing it myself. It has taken about two years to get up to my current standard. This is not good, but I think is just about listenable.
