Music
Recordings
I enjoy playing the guitar, singing, and playing around with my 4-track recorder at home. On these pages, I'm putting up a few home-made recordings of songs and stuff in an attempt to become a bit more creative - and maybe to get some motivation to play a bit more.
- I recorded this when I felt a bit fed up, and it actually made me feel happier, so I'll share it. [mp3]
- This is test of my newly acquired Washburn Raven guitar. The guitar was left in bad condition at a charity shop, so I decided to re-vamp it, a project that eventually will lead to it having a small Linux computer embedded within the body of the guitar - see my project pages for details. (recorded 10/6/2008). [mp3]
- This is a bit of fun with my new Micro BR 4-track. Lot's of noises and a fast metal drum track (recorded 23/2/2008). [mp3]
- This is just a little guitar jam (recorded 19/2/2008). [mp3]
- This is a cover of the early Idlewild song 'Self-healer' (recorded 30/1/2008). [mp3]
- This is a song called 'Roses of Nowhere'; it was floating around my head for a long time, so I decided to record it on my 4-track. [mp3]
- This is a bit of a guitar instumental that I recorded soon after I bought my 4-track recorder. I just layered up a few guitar tracks over the metronome. [mp3]
