switched on tocky

Switched On Tocky is a '100% Modular Synth' re-interpretation of my 'Orchestral' composition 2020WTF. It's been loved, hated, and loved again numerous times over the last part of 2021 - It's now at a place where I'm happy with it so....

127 milton road

Back in 1982 Aylmer laid down a basic guitar track on an AkAI 4000DS intending one day to complete it. I found it a few months ago - had a fiddle with it, sent a couple of bars to Aylmer and we decided to finish it as a joint project. So after a gap of 41 years it's now completed.

miss gaze

Originally on the "In the making" album, Miss Gaze has been dusted down and filled out a bit.... all vocals a couple of drum parts are from the original recording. Wasn't meant to have a video - But found the clip of 'the girl' and put my film editors hat on....

too many lies

Thought I'd have a stab at a semi 'big-band' sound - always wanted to play with a brass section - but never managed to just made one up as one does..... Thanks to Jen for the Dr Tocky sketch that sparked the idea for the vid!

the cornet lesson

This was going to be the intro to a song - BUT decided to make it a stand alone short animation...

spacegirl

Stumbled across the chords... planned to make 'epic orchestration' ... found the first melody... found that piano sound... let it simmer for a couple of days... found the ascending piano line... found those 3 separate images - threw to all together and... spacegirl540 was just 'there' .

the hypocrites

The lyrics were written late 70's early 80's when good old fashioned Cambridge pubs were being closed down at re-opened as 'trendy' alehouses for the real ale 'bandwagon jumpers'.Yesterdays preaching 'hipster eco-warriors'...

2020WTF

2020WTF is an 'abridged' 100% Orchestral interpretation of my' 2020's original songs - no big guitars, pianos, synthesisers, no effects nor 'whizzery'. Written solely using 'virtual' orchestral instruments. Premiered at the Royal Albert Hall (well...possibly in a parallel universe).

there are days

First off the 'conveyer belt' that is 2021 - bit of a 'swerve' from the norm... some days are good...some bad... and others we'd just rather forget - BUT darent!
