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.

Analog synths and rich arp and pad layers creating majestic space love...

This is one of my Apple loop mixes/compositions. A rock piledriver.

I'm a huge fan of H.P. Lovecraft, and found myself playing "atmospheric" synth instruments in Logic Pro X which just sounded wonderfully creepy and alien. Before long, the track morphed into this fan tribute to one of my favourite Lovecraft stories.

I hope you enjoy it.

I had the phrase 'wheels of industry' turning in my head, so I decided to do an industrial metal track to capture the thought. I took it back to the industrial revolution, pictured here in 19th century Germany.

I used Novation Launchpad, creating three tracks with different master production effects which I then layered (and sometimes double-tracked), and added some electronic bass sequencer and rock/metal guitar.

I hope you enjoy it.

It's been a while since Per (Son Of Axe - https://soundcloud.com/persito-1) and I collaborated on a track, but boy am I glad we did! I gave Per a bare bones backing track, from which he created this wonderful rock vocal. Fantastic work my friend! Per is the heart and soul of this track!

A space rock journey into the void...

"From left, Apollo 1 astronauts Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee pose in front of their Saturn 1 launch vehicle at Launch Complex 34 at the Kennedy Space Center.

On Jan. 27, 1967, the crew was sitting atop the launch pad for a pre-launch test when a fire broke out in their capsule. The investigation into the fatal accident led to major design changes, making the Apollo spacecraft safer for the coming journeys to the moon. " NASA

A sad little dream pop track, mixing pianos and synths. I hope it brings you comfort.

This is one of my Apple loop mixes/compositions.

This is a track in memory of my Aunt - Margaret Coutts - (who passed away many years ago), a warm-hearted and generous lady who was for a time stationed (in the Army) at Edinburgh Castle (pictured).

I was lucky enough to attend the Edinburgh Military Tattoo with Aunt Margaret, and always associate my memory of her with the castle.

My parents were working class, and never owned a car. We lived in Wiltshire, in England.

Margaret would drive 650 miles down from Scotland, stay for a few days, then drive me and my sister up to Scotland and take us all over Scotland on a series of day trips. Then she would drive us back home, stay a few days, before she headed back to Scotland.

Wonderful lady.
