Ambient / Eclectica & Tracks that simply defy description
Almost Human* (4:13)
Scratchy guitar #1. Strumming on a broken guitar. My Favourite.
Watch Me (3:03)
Scratchy guitar #2. The same guitar, underwater...a slight bluesy flavor.
Come With Me (2:46)
Distant voices and synths embellish a gently strummed ukelele.
Tender (1:46)
With Bryn Mathieu
Clean Acoustic guitars and a lazy drum part. This track is happy not to be going anywhere.
Indio (4.26)
Scratchy guitar #3. Written under the desert stars. Aliens abduct some out of tune guitars and a harmonica and play round the campfire.
Leave It (4.26)
Relax, Cowboy...A lazy electric guitar plays a repeptive refrain against a backdrop of sundown warmth.
Gold (3:28)
Warm, gentle and relaxed. A mandolin plays a slow loping melody over a simple beat.
Walkabout (6:41)
A crackly guitar strumming with a quiet sense of purpose until a pounding groove rudely interrupts taking the track into a completely different world.
Sundrop (3:35)
Very relaxed, sundrenched, lounging by the pool on a quiet day. An old piano keeps playing the same few notes while some far off violins and a cello try to distract him, unsuccessfully; nothing can get this one excited.
Drift (4:09)
A very laid back drummer shrouded in a mist of sonic treatment and electro noises. Extremely mellow...
Groundswell (1:29)
Detuned tremolo guitar and chanting connect this one to the earth.
Float (7:59)
8 minutes of a very slowly evolving piano phrase that is occasionally interrupted by quietly anarchic guitars and offstage whispers.
Aftermath (2:09)
A cello plays an aimless melody over a backdrop of strings and sliding electricity. A slightly post-apocalyptic feel.
Static #2 (3:24)
A soundscape of slowed down environmental noises, clicks and pops. A cave after the blast?
Midnight Circus (3:36)
A hint of ethnic percussion, an accordion. The Arctic wind at night played by an electric guitar.
Drone 1 (3:46)
Vocal pads and distant percussion. Very still and tense.
And now for something completely different, the lighter side of the show...
Take It (2:07)
With Bryn Mathieu
A slight hint of Cuba and Mambo. Fun.
Scratch Me (2:05)
With Bryn Mathieu
The South Seas, a slice of Hula played by a rum soaked band.
Pineapple (2:16)
With Bryn Mathieu
Still in Fiji, a lumpy groove that tries not to fall over its own feet dissolves into a piano moment.
Moondust (1:11)
A bluesy violin solo in orbit. Out of time...
