My debut electronic and ninth studio album released


 My debut electronic album and ninth studio album has been released Formation, and is gaining surprising traction across all digital streaming and download music sites, globally!

The music compositions are inspired from demo tracks I recorded between 1991 and 2000, using a keyboard and plugging it through guitar effects and another multi-effects box to create interesting and experimental sounds, using a 4-track studio cassette recorder.

Converting analogue recorded music into digital audio files not only preserved these recordings but were used to inspire and compose the music instrumental tracks on my electronic Formation album.

There is a differance between analogue and digital recorded music, so majority of the instrumental music tracks on my album are inspired rather than exact duplication of the original music compositions.

There is one track, which uses two analogue recorded keyboard parts in Enter the Galaxy, which couldn't be replicated.

Please go and listen across 150+ streaming and download music sites, whereever you live, globally!

please like, and share my music, thank you!

Finally, my eighth studio album is released - Patchwork Art!


Patchwork Art is a departure from the mainly guitar driven music I'm used to doing.

I ditched the guitar and used synthesizer sounds mostly by programming rather than playing, though I can play keyboards, so it was just down to convenience rather than ability.

By using synthesizer sounds and sound-effects it does give this album a different edge and the songs are about my life experiences and upbringing in London, England.

I changed my vocal style to more of a spoken word style and I didn't sing while growling, unlike in my other more 'rock' themed albums.

Check it out folks @Apple Music.

It is available on over 150+ download music sites in every country around the world, so whatever music download platform you use I will be on there.

Hope you enjoy Patchwork Art!

What's going on?


 It has been quite a while since I last did a post on my activities.

Well I finished all of the vocal takes for my new album in a marathon 7 hours, split over two days, last month!

Working on track four, out of ten songs in total.

Going well and this eighth album has no guitars on it only synthesizers, sound effects and drum beats.

Keep you posted throughout the process of the progress on my new album.

I'm the meantime, check out my website!

Latest News: My debut guitar instrumental album Delay hitting the streaming highway!


Like a British bus, you wait for a long time then two come at the same time, or close by; which has seen my debut guitar instrumental album Delay hitting the streaming highway!

The reason I called it Delay was because I've heavily used the delay effect on all of the instruments to a greater or lesser degree. 

I have put a lot into this album and it gave me a chance to experiment with different drum beats and mixing different drum kits and taking samples from my own performances on my electronic Alesis Compact Drum Kit 7 and mixing them all together for some interesting variations and styles added to each track.

I also experimented with using the effects and doubling them to the MAX! Creating some strange sounds but more importantly for me is to make my music accessible to you all!

The first track Breeze I picked the guitar strings with different strokes and added the delay effect to wrap around the drum beat.

I have for the first time programmed (but I can play the notes used on the keyboard) synthesizer parts on the reggae/dub composition of Marching, and accompanying the guitar riff on Slipping.

I actually forget I recorded quite a bit of lead guitar and was pleasantly surprised when reviewing my recordings to put into this album of the sweet lead guitar work, which has ended up on Humble, Floating, Bubbling, and Flowing.

Tracks that sound more like techno tunes, but are actually effects on my guitars and bass are Flux, Flexing, and Stomp, with different drum styles that could transcend across the music spectrum including rock and metal.

Anyway, don't take my word for it! Check it fans @Apple Music

Keep on Rockin'!

Latest News: Brand new album released

Finally, my new album Attitude was completed and released on the 16th August 2021!

It was a challenguing project, beset with some technical problems, but overcoming them and producing an album I am proud of, gives you a great feeling of accomplishment.

It was more easier to quit this project and start another. But when you do this you'll end up not doing or completing very much in the end. 

Hope you all enjoy it! 

My album is available in pretty much most music sites in every country across the globe.
