Artist Bio

Influences:   Most recently been binging on Beatles solo material!

FAWM number 10 for me this year - no idea how that happened!

Giving 2022 as good a go as I'm able (two small children the biggest obstacle I'll face this year).

I've got some vague idea about trying to stick to more conventional instruments this time around. We'll see how that goes...

Best of luck to everyone!

He/him

UPDATE 14th February: I think that may be it for me this year - too much other stuff getting in the way unfortunately :-( If I get chance I'll pop back towards the end of the month x

    Aww, thanks for your sweet comment on "Too Tired". I gotta tell you man, it was quite a few FAWM's ago, but I still think about "Philae".

    I'm down in Melbourne where the train seats are boring and fixed in place, alas.

  • @w1n  Feb 2022

    Thanks for the comments, the acoustic guitar in 23:59 is run through the XLN RC-20 Retro Color plug-in, I tried faking the sound of the Z Vex Instant Lo-Fi Junky pedal, I’ve borrowed one from a friend a couple of times. I love the sound but a pricy so patiently waiting for a good deal on a used one.

  • @tukayandryan  Feb 2022

    So happy to have found you here. Such beautiful stuff. Going to listen more now.

  • @nadine Feb 2022

    Thanks a lot for the comment! @tinear just nailed it!

  • @tan482  Feb 2022

    Thanks for listening to my tune! I completely understand the two small children thing - it's intense right?!

  • @seemanski  Feb 2022

    Hey, welcome back, it's really good to see you. Hope you and your family are well. Thanks for your comment on my track. Now to return the favour.

  • @frenchcricket  Feb 2022

    Have you got any of the Addictive Keys instruments by the way? I think the grand piano one is really nice and I managed to get it for free!

  • @frenchcricket  Feb 2022

    oh damn. I forgot that one! I might try it myself

  • @frenchcricket  Feb 2022

    Ooh that pack sounds good. I wish SD3 had a good dry drum expansion. What was the other tip? I'm curious now!

  • @badgag Feb 2022

    Thank you! :) Can’t believe you’re on your tenth! Always excited to hear what you come up with!

  • @theawkwardsleep Feb 2022

    We totally relate to your parenting struggles friend. But, glad to see you’re giving it a go nonetheless.

  • @jackdawfactories  Jan 2022

    Just listened to Drift Away and realised I used to have you on my watchlist and I'm unsure why I don't any more, so time to remedy that!
