"With You" was originally sketched out in the rehearsal studio with a Trio setting comprising Das (Drums) and Aziz (Bass) and yours truly on Gtrs and Vox (circa '98).The jam was recorded with a Sennheiser headphones plugged into the mic input of a DAT recorder. Complete with rattling snares, booming bass, guitar tunings slipping off, drifting tempos and nonsensical lyrical hummings, this is a closer look at a band in it's most intimate and vulnerable setting. Enjoy! :)

Electronic music explorations with disregard of time and structure. Combining Sound on Sound EFX Electric Guitars over a MIDI guitar triggered tribal style drum loop. Try and spot where "1" is! The original complete version of this piece is 60 mins looorng! :)embryo's prescription advice; For best results, best enjoyed in a dark room staring at a lone candle lit flame with music really loud for a hair standing spiritual reawakening experience! Effective with or without chemical influence...Hope you'll enjoy the ride! |

Another "Pop Song" according to embryo. Inspired by the likes of some of my favourite sources of inspiration including Eno, Bowie, Rush, Sade and others obvious or otherwise...featuring vocals this time around with lyrics that will prove a challenge for the well intended but unobservant. This song was never intended to be either groove or "verse, chorus, verse" style oriented. It's just a mood thing darling! Enjoy the ride while you can...All ABOARD! For a Magical Mystery Ride, step right this way and click PLAY! CHOO CHOO!!! :) |

This is a lead voxless edited version of a song which was originally recorded on a 4 track cassette machine. I was listening to lots of "Cure" music then...still do, inspired by a conversation with a travelling transvestite back in my club circuit days. |

Stripped to the core, baring the insides out.. a voice and a cheap acoustic guitar...recorded live, raw and jagged with a single borrowed condenser mike (courtesy of Yeow previously of the great Zircon Lounge with Chris Ho))into my "Blackface" ADAT 'round 4.30am in my way cluttered flat's bedroom studio when precious sleep was like a distant dream for me...That last click at the end of the song is the "Stop" button of the ADAT's BRC controller...kinda loud huh? :)

Layered Guitars combining staccato oriental motifs with ambient washed E-bowed guitars
with Drum Loops assembled with out-takes of unfinished embryo songs. Originally inspired
from a late night tv documentary of the tranquil inducing images of light rain over the Japanese garden ponds in Kyoto Japan while noodling with my guitar recording into a 4 track cassete machine. I hope it makes you smile. |

a simple Pop Rock song pretty much a tribute to the raw charm of some of my favourite sounds from bands including U2, Cure, Cocteau Twins & The Sundays combining layered voices with treated acoustic & electric guitars with swirling effects over a minimalist chord progression and a steady groove...Lyrics originally inspired by the endless arguments that I used to hate but now kinda miss with an ex girlfriend. Hey, it was not funny then.
Anyway I hope you'll enjoy this tune. :) |

originally written for female vocals (a la The Sundays) in mind during the time of a close friend's (Nigel Hogan) recording project in a local polytechnic. i fondly recall how the song came together... jamming it out at home and presenting it to a bunch of very prolific musician friends in their own right. we affectionaly name this lineup as
"embryo and the eggmen" |

Electronic synth guitar music explorations combining Loops, Bleeps, Squelches and Squishes with Time Delay treatments. All inputs were triggered with a Roland GR-1 Synthesizer Guitar. This version is Experiment no. 5 thus the title. Enjoy the vibe! |

Late nite, early morning round 4am "embryo jam" in the home studio resulting in some sleepy smiles and captured moments of cool understated Electric Bass work from the multi talented "rief" with yours truly playin' some "Albatross" Surf inspired tremolo bar inflected chord changes with the occasional fills on my fav Fender Strat live in one take direct into the ADAT over a hypnotic effected drum loop. |
