Alone under the stars...

One of my Apple loop mixes/compositions.

An emotional rock instrumental dedicated to migrants everywhere.

"Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

From "The New Colossus", Emma Lazarus, 1883

Some lightning fast groove metal for you.

Child of morning, rosy-fingered dawn, appears full of mystery and full of promise.

Nod to Homer's 'Odyssey'.

This is one of my Apple loop compositions.

The future trembles in my mind, forever at its start...

An ambient fantasy about a getaway island...

A metal track not to be taken seriously...seriously!

A sample of Vogon poetry to go with your listening pleasure (From Douglas Adams' marvellous Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy):

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,

Thy micturations are to me, (with big yawning)

As plurdled gabbleblotchits, in midsummer morning

On a lurgid bee,

That mordiously hath blurted out,

Its earted jurtles, grumbling

Into a rancid festering confectious organ squealer. [drowned out by moaning and screaming]

Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles,

Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts,

And living glupules frart and stipulate,

Like jowling meated liverslime,

Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,

And hooptiously drangle me,

With crinkly bindlewurdles,mashurbitries.

Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,

See if I don't!

Time for something a bit weird, a bit alien almost. This augmented human is still human...just.

The augmentation head gear is religious, a sign of devotion and connection to The One And The Zero - a being of supreme quantum artificial intelligence, itself rumoured to have once been human.

The sound of incessant and repetitive work, portrayed through dark industrial dubstep.

Lost and abandoned buildings exist in every city. This is a homage to them.

The core dubstep backing track was created in Novation LaunchPad, with additional manual industrial sounding synths and two rock guitar tracks played by me via my iPad touchscreen.
