The Ministry of Rock

The bombastic title comes from hearing the drumbeat and the bassline and thinking it sounded like something from “Spinal Tap”. More of the same guitar guff from yours truly. Enjoy!

SVL – The Video

And now we have an official video to accompany the remix of “Seville”. I like this “readymade art” approach to video making.

100 Miles from Home Blues

This is my latest tune. I think it is a lesser piece. Parts of it sound right, but there’s something wrong with it I can’t put my finger on (other than it is a bit undercooked). Not sure if it will make the cut. Who knows?

Seville Remixed!

The great thing about the Internet is that it brings people together and it can also be a means of producing new art, new work, new music via virtual collaboration. The enigmatically titled “Piggyback Orchestra” contacted me recently with a remix they had done of my track Seville. I liked it and I present it here for your delectation. So here is “SVL”:

Oh well it looks like a new “album” might be coming. The muse has paid a visit and when the music comes, we’ve got to do our best to serve the muse and get it all down on the hard drive. I’ve gone back to one of my old recording tricks of relying on the technology dictate the music. In this case, the Boss SL-20 pedal is acting as a sketchpad, allowing me to quickly generate rhythmic guitar loops on which to build songs. It’s a bloody great piece of kit for stimulating the musical muscle, but I have to be careful not to repeat myself…not to repeat myself…not to repeat myself…

And so the looped guitar that was “Nicely Sliced” has evolved into a fine crazy chicken of a song. It’s a bit too King Crimson for my liking, but what can you do about it. When the muse drags you in that direction, you must follow!

Happy 1st Birthday Little V

Yes, who can believe that a whole year has passed since you were given to me. What games we’ve played and what fun we’ve had. I am so lucky to be your Daddy and maybe one day you’ll find this message and know just how much I love you, my precious little girl.
Now let’s stop with this mawkish sentimentality and have some fun. The BabyTV Channel is probably the greatest invention since sliced bread. They have a webpage where you can upload your baby’s picture and they animate it and produce a birthday celebration animation. Whoo-hoo! Little Verity is a star. (Hopefully this link will work for you)
