The concept behind the recording of this track is an interesting exercise in creating random music and discovering patterns instinctively. Using a Boss RC-20XL, I created a silent loop of about 30 seconds and began to play a single note, building up notes on the repeated loop until random themes begin to form. I particularly like the bell-like chime of the guitar. But the question always remains: is this music? Whatever it is, I personally find it very relaxing and think of it as a truly subconscious creation. Enjoy!

This is a demo recording of a song called 'BBridgeBridge', featuring a "live" acoustic lead line played on my Godin XTSA through a Korg PX4A and accompanied by a single Roland GR33 guitar synth pad, this track is intended as a bridge to my previous song BBridge.

This is a demo recording of a song called 'BBridge', featuring a drum loop I programmed on my Handsonic, a smoky bassline, lugubrious rhythm guitar and a slightly unsure lead acoustic guitar. Oh yes, swampy!

Here is a short video podcast about the Ashbory bass, an instrument that features silicon rubber strings. During this podcast, I give a brief overview of the instrument and demonstrate its sound by playing my song "Adam and Eve".

This podcast describes the creative process behind the recording of the instrumental song 'Pearly King', using the multitrack audio software Sonar. I also perform a live rendition of my own song 'Forever Autumn'.

This is a demo recording. It is more like a brief outline at the moment, but I might return to it and develop it in the future.

This is a live recording of me playing my keyboard through a Boss RC-20XL loop pedal and improvising over the top. It is minimalist, but strangely emotive.
