Doing an open mic night tonight to try to see what the local scene is round Wolves. See if I can shift a few business cards on.

Getting nostalgic and playing Age Of Empires II just in time for a bunch of new stuff to be added to the game. Just had to throw a jazz rendition of the menu music "Quest For Butter" down. #AgeOfEmpires #AoE2

Been a grown up today and done some lawn work.

This boy keeps wistfully looking out the window as he keeps me company in the home office.

I released a new song called "Cat Tree". A jazzy chill hop tune in 7/4 time!

For fans of;
Chillhop
LoFi
Jazz Fusion
Jazz Guitar
Jazzy hip hop
Maybe even neo-prog fans will like it!

I thought it would be fun to make a hip hop beat using only Musio 1. It was surprisingly easy!
Full video here, nice bit of Music Production ASMR: youtu.be/9gEULhyUxXo?...

This buddy slept on my feet for New Years night. Was pretty cool.

Merry christmas, everyone.
Gave A Spaceman Came Travelling by Chris De Burgh the instrumental guitar treatment to get a bit festive!

Recorded all the instruments (programmed the drums), and I'm quite happy with it!

Shot from one of this weekends cover band gigs.
I don't think my knees will ever recover from these mild antics.

Sneak peek at my upcoming jazzy guitar chill hop release. Had this in the vault for far too long.
This tune combines a lot of my musical loves into one package, excited to drop it!

Annual gingerbread house competition...which are you voting for?

No surprise at all on my top artists.
The Smiths for my sad phases and Pat Metheny to bring me back to earth. Pat won. (Helped that I saw him live last month)

Being a dutiful partner to a teacher and doing the music for the nursery Christmas production again this year.
Taking it far too seriously, but luckily, they're all basic carols or nursery rhymes!
(My jaunty soul version of Twinkle Twinkle got rejected 🫠)

Made a new beat with some super moody indie vibes and thought I'd whip a little improv up over it. Plenty of psycho eyes going on with this - it's the go-to look for Harmonic Minor playing I suppose haha. #BeatMaker #MusicProducer #MusicProduction #Guitar #GuitarSolo

New to this place so I thought I'd drop the jazz fusion vibe solo from my arrangement of Marble Gallery from Castlevania Symphony Of The Night.

Sums me up quite well, love my spooky stuff, love jazz and fusion, play the guitar and I dig video game music!
