My back catalogue

For the sake of completeness, here are some links to Soundcloud, which has all of my recordings, as well as two recent playlists:

Profile with all songs
Demonstrations - My First EP
Air Pressure EP

Pipes

If anyone were actually reading this, I would offer a prize for the first person to identify the source of the samples on this one. I quite like the video, which is about a steam engine at the Science Museum.

Night

I seem to veer between naive pop songs and weird twiddlings. This is definitely on the twiddling side.

Afraid

This got me my first 'Don't Like' vote on YouTube, which made me very proud. The vocal samples are from old episodes of Dr Who and UFO, and the video is from a John Mills movie.

Automation

This is my first experiment with using Text To Speech software, instead of my own flat monotone. I think I just made myself redundant as a singer. It was also the first track I made using the automation controls on Caustic 3 - hence the title.

Interference - When does 4 = 3

I have been working very slowly through some books on digital music composition while making these pieces - can't you tell? One suggested an apparently common trick of overlaying tracks with three beats and four beats to the bar. I quite like the effect.

The tune was written using Caustic 3, mostly on my phone. This has been the best few quid I have ever spent on my phone, and has revolutionised my journeys into work. I am not sure that my fellow travellers agree.

Another Day On Mars

My first YouTube posting was intended as a tribute to the incredible achievement of the NASA InSight team, who, while landing a drilling rig on Mars, inadvertently gave us our first ever recording of the sound of another planet. I sampled their telecon about this, which is at https://youtu.be/2otHin-DESg.

I sent a message to the InSight PR team at NASA, inviting them to listen to my homage. Strangely they haven't replied, but then they haven't sent me a 'cease and desist' letter either.
