about

The basis of this track was actually created way back in 1999 using just a terrible guitar, not only as rhythm and melody, but also as the bass. It was recorded when four track tape decks were really something, and I'm happy to say that at least some of it still stayed with me as musically strong, mainly part of the chorus and some of the chords, which I now admit doesn't sound much. The tempo is the same though.

This is mostly piano led and should hopefully feel like you're lying on a beach on Ocean Drive. I don't often create music without at least featuring my main instrument, the guitar, although of late I've really been missing it out much too often. So this piece also features the only guitar solo I have ever composed note for note, rather than my usual, press record, play and pray technique. I was going for a George Benson, Willie Shelton (Hello, by Lionel Richie) type of sound. Hope that won't bring any (further) hate mail from them.

Terrible, true-to-the-original recording featuring harsh and screaming white noise recorded on a C90 that has been in the sun too long not available soon.

I'm trying to bring some of that back with an updated sound (originals were on tape!) but still keeping the feel of the music. I'm really pleased with what I have found so far, I was better than I remember! ... more
