New Music here
Over the last year I’ve recorded a number of, well, ‘lost’ songs I wrote years ago, that although they’ve survived in my lexicon, have never been recorded or released.
They’re now assembled into a ‘CD’, or better still, a free download. As I wasn’t really sweating writing new material I was able to spend time on lavish arrangements and production , messing with orchestration, percussion, vocal arrangements, effects etc as well as guitars. Consequently some of the tunes have taken on what I hope is a ‘timeless’ world fusion vibe, while others still sound like they were written in the nineteen-eighties. All recorded here at home, but mastered in Woodstock by Tom Desisto. If you want to see what I used check here for a slightly outdated gear list (for example I don’t use Pro-Tools).
There’s also 14 pages of art; graphic layout by my friend and business partner Rob Dodson featuring sketches I made at the time the songs were first conceived.
The whole package is available as a zip file with art, or as separate song files and a pdf here
Please enjoy, stick it in your ipod or mp3 player, or burn a CD (gasp!), and let me know what you think,
PS I will be doing a short run of CDs, mainly for promotional purposes, and for sale to those who want higher quality sonics and hard copy art.
