Compendium: Ambient, classical and rock soundscapes

Happy to announce the release of a new album! I have wanted to record this particular music for some time and it has taken the best part of a year for it to finally come together. From writing and recording through to designing the album cover and producing a couple of new videos, it’s been another solo undertaking. A lot of work but an enjoyable and worthwhile project and certainly some of the most diverse guitar music that I have done to date.

First track: Guardian At The Gate

I envisioned medieval knights doing battle in a fantasy world and had great fun working the feedback on my Vigier guitar to portray the emotional power of such a scene. The idea for that came from looking back at my early musical influences – as a teenager I, like countless others, was stunned by the way Hendrix could play feedback. He was a guitar genius. So, the end of Guardian At The Gate is my little ‘homage’ to the man. Click on the knight to watch the video.

Yuletide Greetings!

Christmas can be a magical time. For me and my family, music and movies are at the top of the list for getting into the spirit of Christmas.

Over 40 years ago I was asked to write the music for a Christmas animation film called Santa’s Pocket Watch, made by British animator Pete Parsons.

The film was broadcast in many countries and, year on year, people have contacted me to ask if the music is available outside of the film. It never has been …. until now. A few weeks ago, after yet another email arrived posing the question, my son Oliver said I should make a new recording. If for no other reason, he wanted a copy himself!

So here it is, a 5 minute medley called Sleigh Ride in tribute to the magic of Christmas.

Tribute to Santa's Pocket Watch

Available to download along with other tracks, CDs and merch in my Digital Store.

I hope it adds to the magic of your Christmas this year.
