MUSIC
-
We Shall Rise
We Shall Rise Year: 2020 Genre: Acoustic
Instrumental, Celtic influences . Improvisation over chord progression. Melodic, atmospheric. Original work.
-
Nowhere Man
Nowhere Man Track number: 2 Year: 2018 Genre: Classic Rock
A slightly rough around the edges version of the Beatles song, written by John Lennon.Testing a new microphone-The Beatles were just incredible.A cover, obviously.
-
Major seven
Major seven Track number: 3 Genre: Acoustic
A chord progression: somewhat 'old world' A touch of Django, Joe Pass, it is all improvisation and is indulgent with reverb.
-
Midnight Dust
Midnight Dust Year: 2017 Genre: Alternative
A diamond in the rough? One of those blues/jazz/rock combinations, definitely influenced by Steely Dan but lacking their recording values. Sketch.
-
Apache!
Apache! Year: 2021 Album: Classic Pieces Genre: Country
This is The Shadows providing me with their rhythm section, I only just worked this out so it is a little 'rough' I will upload a more practised version later on!
