Description : Time to give y'all a break from my vocals...
So, I was going through songs from years past on my laptop - there are hundreds - and came across this one that I'd nearly forgotten about, even though I love it.
There's a story that comes with it. Way back in MySpace days (yep, going back) I connected with a singer in the UK named Kymberley Kennedy, an amazing singer, just fantastic voice. She liked my tracks so we agreed to work on some tracks together. I sent her this song, and she and her boyfriend Mo, the producer, put a sample together, a minute and a half. I loved it. But then Kymmie got interest from a record company and dropped the project. So I was left with an incomplete song - only part of one of the verses and the chorus. What to do? I brought in a guitarist and extended the song to full length with a music bridge and some repetition. Had to. And this is the result.
So then last night I was checking Kym out on YouTube. She's got a bunch of videos up, with some modest success. I listened to some of them and yes, they're great, but at the same time they sound a lot like a lot of stuff out there. What attracted me to Kymmie's music in the first place was that it was raw and real, it expressed a real personality, it had a vital edge. The record-company songs don't, to me. I listened back to some of the songs - some are just samples - that Mo & Kym sent to me way back when - their stuff - and I like it much better. I googled and found some of the finished results - I like the first drafts better. So I started messing around with a couple, extending them, tweaking, just for my own personal delectation. To me, they sound freaking incredible. So I think that's an important lesson, to me anyway and maybe to all of us - watch the overproduction. Don't get too fancy. Keep it raw and real. Keep it human. Perfectly flawed is so much better than flawlessly perfect.

Description : A psychedelic techno cello epic. It's not really techno as it's only 110 BPM but something like that (eg breakbeat), with lots of banging beats and arpeggiated acid synths, plus a whole load of my layered cello playing techniques. There aren't that many synths used but they do a lot of work and are carefully automated. No guitar. Drums are mostly a lot of drum loops, supported by a few programmed acoustic drumkits. Very busy and complicated with loads of different sections (funky, chilled, fast, heavy) that make up a constantly progressing trip. I don't know if there's any other cello music like this so let me know if you think there is. Interesting feedback appreciated - criticism, praise, ideas etc. Enjoy...

Description : Inspired by an experimental percussion piece I heard. Rhythmic ticking builds into pounding beats and heavy soundscapes. I haven't done any mixing or mastering yet so tell me what you think. Any and all comments are welcome.
