August 2008

I put this first up last week, but havn’t actually had the time to put in an entry for it.

This started as one song, but then grew naturally into 2.  So it’s split up, but in “Many Ways To Be” this is Track 2 and 3, and will be gapless - i.e. 3 will follow immediately after 2 and will appear to be one seemless track.  There’s clearly a common musical element, but both have very different feel and sound.  Violently Blue has received very positive feedback on iCompositions, particularly the maiden-esque middle 8.

New Song.  New Album.  New Artwork.  Enjoy.

This is my latest song, written and recorded using GarageBand.   It’s been quite some effort to get the arrangement just how I like it, and bringing all the pieces together, but i think it’s fresh, original, and has a pop-like upbeat feel, whilst still being clearly guitar orientated.

I wanted to finish off “Inversions” with a Cover (as each of collection so far, has been made out of 9 original tracks and 1 cover) - but I’d been looking for ages for the right song, that I put my own twist on, that I could actually learn and play, and that fitted in well with the rest of my songs.

This was a favourite song of my thrash-head teenage years, and i hadn’t listened to it in years - it’s an absolute mammoth, and I havn’t done all of it - in fact only about half, but the best half, and it rounds ‘Inversions’ off nicely.  Enjoy, “Welcome To Dying”, originally written and recorded by Onslaught from “In Search Of Sanity”.
