Tracks

This album is a collection of recordings I had made for no particular reason other than because I had my home studio and felt like making some music. Most of the tracks were done in a day, I would get a basic idea of what kind of vibe I wanted, then I would pick up and instrument, record that, layer another over that, continue doing that until I got tired.

Usually then I would move on, not release anything. One day I was browsing my folders, discovered some recordings, thought they weren’t bad, and got frustrated with myself for neglecting them. So I made an album.

At the time I was still in a quite a rock orientated phase, particularly the 60s sounding psychedelic rock, and many of these pieces of music are quite obviously influenced by that.

Listening back now, the production is a little rough, this was a deliberate attempt to get a retro sound but I went overboard in places!
