You lose count of all the music you record. Well, at least I do because making music is my hobby and over the past thirty or so years I’ve been mucking around making all manner of noises and “putting them out there”. I say that I’m unique in this creative process as I’ve often shown every faltering step from my early days in 1992 getting to grips with a 4-track recorder and learning how actually record a song, through to my transition to digital recording on PC back in 1998 to my expansion of that process through the 21st century. It’s all there for you to explore or ignore.
I have many folders of music in my archive, many bits and bobs that are just waiting to be assembled and so it came pass that on a whim I decided to put out this collection “May Cause Irritation”. I’m not sure what held me back these past few years. Maybe it was the total indifference of my potential audience that took away my appetite. I don’t know. In the past, I collected 40 or so minutes of music and just released it – no matter what. But in the intervening years, I’ve become a little more selective, perhaps?
This collection was assembled over four years from tracks recorded between September 2021 to June 2025 It’s my usual mish-mash of guitar-led instrumental music with a few more esoteric bits thrown in, as I realised that my more experimental (or odd) side had been neglected in some of my other later releases – so I was trying to re-capture some of that feel from the late 90s to early-00s when we through it all at the wall to see what ended up sticking.
