Written during lockdown, this song expresses my frustration regarding our lack of progress towards a greener future.
You Don't Know
My first track featuring synthesiser and my most pop track to date. A song about taking risks and living life on the edge. Another demo track recorded at home, hoping to take it further in the studio.
Innocent Or Guilty
Piano-vocal original on how the past can stay with us forever. Recorded in lockdown using Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and AudioEvolution software - amazing what you can achieve on a mobile device!
A Single Cut (Live in Lockdown)
A song that was composed in lockdown about the damage we do to each other. Recorded live for my first YouTube video (see below), the audio is extracted from the video so apologies for the audio quality.
More Than I Show
An upbeat piano love song about two young people looking forward to their future together and chasing their dreams. The second track recorded at Silver Street Studios in Reading.
Ballad of a Lost Girl
A piano song about trying to be a friend to someone who is struggling with depression. One of two tracks recorded with Spencer Brooks at Silver Street Studios in Reading. It was great working with Spencer and I think you can hear what a great job he did!
Orchid Rag
A jazzy rag tune that I composed for my A Level Music qualification. I took inspiration from Scott Joplin's iconic piano rags in the creation of this composition.
Ingolstadt
Composed as my free composition for GCSE. A dark brooding piece for piano and cello. This is just a MIDI export at present, but I would love to hear it performed live. Please message me if you play cello and would like to give it a go.
For The Love Of The Darkness
A Chopin inspired piece written, performed and recorded by myself. This was the first track that I recorded using Cubase.
Jazz Cartoon Theme
Written to a brief for GSCE Music where we had to write a theme song for a cartoon. I was inspired by classic cartoons such as Danger Mouse and Flintstones and went for a jazzy feel to the piece.
