Music Downloads

I've been making music for many years but only since 2004 has this taken the form of anything as typical as a long-play album. On this page you will find full-length downloadable versions of some of the one-off pieces to find their way out of my studio. Just right-click the link and save the target to your hard drive.

In 2002 I scored a version of an old guitar demo called Jar of Angels for a sort of 1970s Zappa-type rock band. Then I put it in a box and did nothing with it. In 2005 I pulled a load of scores out and started making piano reduction mock-ups for them. This one is the most coherent. The band version is also now finished with lyrics and will be appearing on my next project (more on that some other time). So this is the piano reduction of a tune you haven’t heard that’s been reworked repeatedly over the last eight years anyway…

I especially like this line, although I’ve no idea if it’s playable at this speed. I’ll have to get someone to try it one day.

Here's a new piece of music. I recorded the swelling sounds years ago and only managed to make something fit over them last summer. So enjoy something cool and gentle with your wine and beach trips and barbeques. Its about seven minutes long.

I made this little piece called Doodlebug in 2004 (I think). Its just about the only time I've made a tune by messing about with VST Instruments and MIDI, which is the preferred method for many a composer these days. I now have a patch on my Korg X3 called Doodlebug and this is where I do all my demos. Just about all my songs are made using the doodlebug. Enjoy...

Here's an a cappella version of my tune Meet Me in the Hydrant Spray. If you're of the right age to remember that Cadbury's Flake advert with the woman in the over-filled bath then the lyrics will probably make some sense.

My master's degree in composition was all about making music using funny little bits of music notation played through notation software and domestic computer soundcards. It involved lots of complex polyrhythms and nested polyrhythms, unplayable phrases, 512th note tremolos and all sorts of other silliness. The whole project contains not one note of guitar. Rose Pink and Blue Slug are two of the more entertaining examples from a portfolio of about forty pieces:

Little Fireworks was written by me and constructed in the Undergraduate Studio at the University of East Anglia with my friend and fellow musican Jon Manton (drummer, cellist and generally nice chap). It comprises some ambient guitar stuff overlaid with samples from Jon's library:

Milk Tears was made using an 80 second sample of my guitar playing (on a '91 Gibson Les Paul), passedthrough lots of filters and plug-ins, chopped up, fried for 20 minutes and dressed with a fine Wal Fretless Custom bass. It has been 'performed' in electroacoustic concerts at both the Univeristy of East Anglia and in the King's Hall at Newcastle University:
