The Loop

Song a Week 2022 – Week 22: So much bad news it has driven me to the blues!

Rock Star Boogie

Song a Week 2022 – Week 22: This is not about me! In fact, I am as far away from this as you can possibly get. Just some fun boogie fiction.

No Smooth Sailing

Song a Week 2022 – Week 20: Connect with this song as you will. It is song for our times but is about resilience and love at heart. It goes a bit prog rock in the middle (be warned).

Playing Live

May 18th 2022 – I performed some of my own compositions live for the first time at the Smile Bar and Venue Live Lounge this week. With Peter on guitar and Graeme on beatbox. Here is some rough phone footage, showing parts of the three songs that I played.

Tsunami

Song a Week 2022 – Week 19: A song about loss, either physical or emotional. Love washed away.

Years

Song a Week 2022 – Week 18: Feeling my age this week. The song starts with an early memory of staying up late as a child, swinging in the garden on a summers evening. Then a bit of a life journey ensues. Some experimentation with brass on this song.

Earthbound

Song a Week 2022 – Week 17: A song about scientific vision, determination and resilience. Unable to fly but convinced that one day the problem would be solved and human flight would become possible.

Fold Your Map

Song a Week 2022 – Week 16: A touch of lo-fi alternative rock. Might simply be about getting lost in the mountains but more likely it’s cautioning against impetuous and unguided leadership.

Dust in a Moonbeam

Song a Week 2022 – Week 15: Experimented with a jazz ballad this week. Just a floaty piece inspired by the prompt ‘Dust in a Beam of Light’.

ZA

Song a Week 2022 – Week 14: .za is the Internet country code, top-level domain for South Africa. Just back from 3 weeks touring South Africa. This is very much a tourists view but there is another side to this country.
