I really wish I didn't have to pick a "genre" for these songs. I have no idea which genre to choose....
The vocalists for this song thought they were reading a play on BBC radio one Friday night. for those that don't understand a Somerset accent, I think you know what a "hooligan" is, and a "jar" is a pint of beer. A "dodgy pint" would be a beer that had something wrong with it (as in when you have 12 beers and blame the last one for your hangover - since it must have been "off"). |

Not last call at the bar, this is the last call for your flight at the airport. All the usual suspects are here, including some sound clips from an airport, and a very interesting train ride.... |

This one contains samples of David Kolker for vocals. He's a great guitar player from NYC - check him out on http://www.davidkolker.com.
Otherwise it's just me, some guitar, bass and a mean Hammond organ plugin for my computer! |

After a recent trip to Cuba, I couldn't resist trying a Cuban song. I asked my friend Guille Garcia for some help, and he sent me some vocals on tape. He's in Miami - check him out on
http://www.mp3.com/GarciasSuperPhunk.
I did all the instruments and music, and Guille did the vocals. The electric guitar is "real" and all the other instruments are either samples or synths.
I hope you enjoy it. |

This is another one featuring Guille Garcia on vocals.
"Para Olvidar" means "to forget about", and the song basically is about "To forget about the war, I wrote this song". |

What category does this belong in? (I'm gonna call it a pop song) Elec guitar, drum loops, a "trombone", some synths, a guest appearance by my string ensemble.... |

Once again I have no idea what category to put this in. It's a little bit mellower than some of the others though. See what you think.... |

This is just a few ideas that came into my head after the collapse of the World Trade Centre towers. The two cellos at the beginning are playing the exact same part, but the RH side is playing two bars later than the LH side. I like the way they interact - but they're mirror images of each other.... |

I sent "Baud Silly" into Radio Scotland, as it was made of samples from one of their (talk) shows. There are some samples in here of Tom Morten talking to me on the phone before he played "Baud Silly". |

I picked World Fusion for the category as this song features some sitar samples as well as all the usual stuff. |

feature some samples from a radio talk show where a guy was talking about the internet. I then sent this song in to the radio station, and they played it and interviewed me on the phone. This then supplied the samples for "Feature Space". (are you following this?) |
