This Month’s Audio Uploads:

Reminiscence – 2009:

A sweet and gentle theme that I wrote back in 2009 whilst living in Sweden, notable primarily for me actually playing acoustic guitar and some strange wooden flute instrument that I had in my possession. I think it may have been a gift from my sister that she had picked up whilst on her travels around South East Asia? I could be wrong.

Bubble Head (Anlg) – SKETCH – 1996:

Don’t remember much about this one. Just another idea for a track, ready to be fleshed out and completed should the right project ever have arisen.

Hello Happiness – SECTION – 2010:

Can’t remember the exact commission that this re-working of the old Drifters classic was recorded for, but I don’t think it ever came to much. I believe the brief required us to do something with a hint of ‘Noah & The Whale’ about it.

Foster Imposter (Anlg) – SKETCH – 1995:

As with a number of my noodlings from around this time, this little sketch has shades of David Foster about it. It’s just a sketch though, probably thrown together in an hour or so. One I’d be quite happy to finish at some point.

Wayward Wolf Theme (Alternative Version) – SECTION – 2010:

Another version of the Wayward Wolf Theme for you. The differences between each version are quite subtle.

We Changed – SECTION – 2004:

It’s a shame that the arrangement for this song was so cluttered and messy because it has a chorus that I’m still quite a fan of to this day. Nick Rundall provided the guitar parts on this one, whilst all vocals are courtesy of yours truly.

Upbeat Country Theme – SECTION – SKETCH – 2012:

Apple loops a plenty in this energetic little number.

Marbella (After Hours) – SECTION – 2005:

A little idea I had for a track to accompany a little travelogue video I was working on, whilst on one of a very large number of trips I’ve made to Marbella over the years. Very much my spiritual home from home.

Call Of The Wild (Anlg) – 1992:

Although the backing to this song is a little warped and very dry and crusty (technology limitations of mine at the time), there’s still something I like about this little ode to the classic Jack London novel of the same name – more specifically, an ode to Ken Annakin’s 1972 film adaptation starring Charlton Heston. The idea was based upon a theme taken from Carlo Rustichelli’s haunting score.

Daytime TV Theme – SKETCH – 1993:

I remember going through a phase of trying my hand at writing themes for TV in any number of styles I could think of, and this was my tongue-in-cheek attempt at a daytime TV theme. Think Pebble Mill At One without the budget.
