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.

  • FORGIVE ME – FULL VERSION – 1997:

Forgive Me - SONG - Lyrics

A song that laments the end of one of my long-term relationships. I forget who laid down the guitar parts. Possibly Nick Rundall? It’s a song that I’ve occasionally revisited over the years, and thankfully one that continues to please despite its various mix frailties. All vocals are courtesy of me. A brief summary of Forgive Me can be found in the A-Z section of the site.

  • HERE COMES THE RETRO HAMMER – FULL VERSION – 2010:

A full-length, upbeat ‘swirling’ instrumental.

  • HOME – SONG SAMPLE & OUTRO – DEMO – 2011:

©Bublé / Chang / Foster-Gillies

Michael Bublé’s silky tones on his smash hit, Home, are a seriously tough act to follow when it comes to cover versions. And although my own version limps along somewhat feebly some way back in the distance, there are still some elements of it that were pleasing, including a new outro section that I devised and tagged onto the song’s end.

  • BROKEN – SKETCH – 1994:

©HughCarsonMusic

A moody theme entirely composed and realised via the Yamaha SY85 Workstation‘s own internal sequencer.

  • SPEAK TO ME – FULL VERSION – 1995:

©HughCarsonMusic

A ‘chilled-out’ instrumental from the mid-90s sessions, featuring a brief sneaky Toto sample, taken from their Tambu album.

  • NEWSBEAT – SKETCH – 1990:

©HughCarsonMusic

Another Yamaha SY85 Workstation sketch. This was a sort of current-affairs TV programme theme that I cobbled together back in my late teen years. Probably inspired by any number of news programmes over the years. Maybe even John Craven’s Newsround, or some other such kids’ show from my childhood.

  • PAINT ME A PICTURE – FULL VERSION – 2010:

©CGNSongs

This was a second, strange CGN Songs pitch for a light-hearted scene in a U.S TV show. It was shelved in favour of my CGN Songs partner, Peter Godfrey‘s offering. Sadly, neither was ultimately used, if memory serves correctly.

  • GLACIAL – SECTIONS – 2009:

©HughCarsonMusic

Sections taken from an instrumental that was loosely inspired by the majestic, ever-so-slow-moving Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia, Argentina. I recall staying in a tiny neighbouring town whose bars were all packed full of locals staring at TV coverage of the glacier, waiting for a section of it to crumble away and fall into the water below. Riveting stuff down that way, apparently.

A brief snippet from a mid-tempo library track from the Wayward Wolf years.

  • THREE TIME THEME – SECTION – 2005:

A theme with percussive and jazz elements to it.
