Description : Last week I was at an open mic where a poet did a couple poems. I bought her book, and when I read it at home, one poem jumped out at me and practically begged me to make it into a song.

Kirsty kindly gave me permission to do so, so... here it is (or at least a first draft).

If you're interested, you can get the book from her site at kindredorange.co.uk.

And people... Let's stand up against AI and make our own creations. You don't need a giant data centre to make music.

Description : This was originally a challenge on Threads, where user fud_leclerc more or less weekly posts a 4 chord challenge. This is based on one of those - I made it a bit more complex but I think it worked out.

The mission was to "make it sound like you're falling apart" - let me know if you think that worked.

Description : Edit: I've decided to publish this one as a single. Soon out on streaming :)
====================
I had already almost forgotten about this one... which is embarrassing as I wrote it a week ago. Definitely early dementia.

Having said that, sometimes it's a nice surprise to stumble across something you'd already forgotten. This one I think is fun :)

All instruments played live (as far as I remember) and zero AI was involved in this one. Enjoy :)

Description : Now out on streaming and bandcamp as part of the Chrysalis EP

====================
Another funky instrumental. All instruments played live (drums are midi), the recordings have more than a few mistakes but that's how you know it's not AI.

Hope you enjoy!

(btw it's always funny you have to indicate for an instrumental whether it has adult content ;) )

Description : Now out on streaming and bandcamp as part of the Chrysalis EP

=============
A nice little jam - I don't seem to find the time and calmness to write lyrics, so let's stick with Instrumentals.

Oh and... no AI in any phase of the creation. Written, played, mixed & mastered by yours truly - I'd rather have my mistakes than AI misuse.

Oh and if you're in a hurry... don't miss my favourite bit which is around 1:40 :D

Description : This is a classic 80s glam rock band... no, it's just silly old me. I decided to channel a bit more of my guitar playing into this song; today the piano took a back seat.

I had a blast making it; hope you like it too.

All instruments and vocals by BaoBou, music and lyrics original as usual.

Description : This song is about my daughter - I'm sure you'll say the same about your daughter but she's the best.

Full of music and art, a gentle and lovely soul with a great heart - anyway, you get the point. She's also already 21 and I'm an old man, but to me she'll always be that little girl that was dancing and singing every minute in my living room.

Enjoy :)

Description : Updated vocals at the start and the end. I think it's much closer to my vision now. Thanks for all your help!
=========================
This is an emotional track, as you may guess. It's a first draft, but I want to get it out of my head (so to speak) so I can start listening to it with a fresh mind.
Thank you all for listening and commenting. Feel free to be critical - I always try to listen to all the great advice and I've learned a lot here from all of you!

Description : This is my first new track in about half a year. I've worked on an album (with 2 more projects coming up), I've done many gigs, but somehow the writing didn't happen... so it's a massive relief that this one is taking shape.

It's not finished yet, like my tracks never are... but I hope you can hear I was having fun.

Oh! And if you have spotify or other streaming, be ready for the new album to drop in a couple weeks. Not with this song though - that'll be 2 albums from now ;)

Description : This is a lullaby for the daughter of my Greek friend Fanis.
As I was working on my next album "All I Have To Say" (out next week), I suddenly had inspiration for a sweet little track... maybe I can put this on a future EP ;)
Interested in the album? Follow the links in my profile!
Not interested in the album? then I would still appreciate if you follow them ;)

Description : A simple track I wrote... well yes, on the train.

Now mastered, soon to be on my next album. How soon? Welll.. let's hope for March :)

Description : A nice funky new track for a funky new year!
19th Dec 2024 21:11 - 1 year ago
Description : Updated for 2025!
===============
I'm not a fan of Christmas songs and I've long wanted to write an anti-Christmas song... Last year I suddenly had a piano riff that became a song. Sometimes songs come easy and you know instinctively what you want to do with them, I guess... and sometimes an anti-Christmas song turns into a Christmas song :)

Last year's version was a bit messy so I cleaned it up a bit. I might bring this one out as a single... what do you think?
13th Dec 2024 11:51 - 1 year ago
Description : Now also on Apple music!! Please please check the link in my profile and give it a play! (Spotify to follow soon). And if you do that, let me know if I can repay the favour!
================

The song feels to me a bit like it could be on stage in a musical. It's a bit theatrical... I like it, but the next one might well be a rock song ;)

All instruments & vocals recorded live at home, without samples.

Description : For somebody I miss dearly, obviously.

A potential track for a next EP/Album?
11th Aug 2023 11:50 - 3 years ago
Description : Now also on Spotify, Apple and Bandcamp! Link in bio, as the cool kids say - yes yes, I know you can listen here, and you should, but if you could give me a play on the streamings that would also be massively appreciated.
============================
This is not my story, but someone very dear to me... the lyrics are pretty close to what they said. What they said and the pain they felt touched me and I hope you can hear that in the song.

Description : Monday afternoon I had the devastating news that a far away friend is diagnosed with cancer (treatable, but still).
These are the moments we want to be with our friends, hug them, talk, cry, maybe laugh. But sometimes we are far from our friends and family, and that's not so easy.

But we are creators, and we can always let them know how we feel with a song. This one is for you, Cindi.
================
Here's a rare video of me performing it :)

Description : Now out as part of an EP on Spotify, iTunes and all the other ones. Thanks for all your encouragement, it means the world to me!
==========================
This particular poem consists of two 1000 year old Japanese "renga", short "word flowers" about the autumn rains. They inspired me... and I hope you will like them too.

Description : Everything is recorded live, so you probably hear that. It's also all me :$

Thanks to everyone who contributed in explaining what I did wrong in the engineering, mixing and mastering, especially Ben (bringerofDOOM). Looperman is truly an awesome community and thank you all. Did I say you guys are awesome?
==============
Now also with a clip on youtu.be/ydQiJAV3DX0 !
