The lesser mabinogion

I just realised that I forgot to post this one – which is a pity, because it’s definitely one of my better attempts.
I’m particularly happy with the guitar – it’s probably the first piece I’ve done where I actually feel like a guitarist.
It was very much written [...]
Tonight we have a very loud, raw piece, aiming very squarely at early 90s grunge. There’s nothing but bass, drums, guitar and voice, and there’s a grand total of four chords used. It didn’t require a whole lot of ability to either write or play, but it was fun.
Yes, 2006. This was one I started the first time round, but didn’t really finish. Tonight I was poking through old stuff and came across it, and figured it really deserved some better treatment. Most of what you hear is the original 2006 recording – I only added the synth, the [...]
Tonight’s effort is sadly a little bit on the bitter and angsty side, it’s also probably the most pop rock like piece I’ve ever done.
However, despite all that, I rather like it – it came together really easily, starting with the chorus melody on the guitar. From there the [...]

I think I learnt a fair bit [...]
It’s Tuesday! (or it was, four hours ago) and I actually have a piece ready!
This was another 11 hour marathon, though I actually had all the ideas in place in the first hour. I’m not really sure what happened to the hours between 8 and 12…
Anyway – this [...]
Tonight’s one proves once again that I have no sense of time. I came up with something on guitar, but then as happens so often with me – when I tried to record it, I couldn’t figure out what time it was in..
In the end it turned out to [...]
This one kind of morphed quite a bit. It was originally going to be an industrial piece – but I guess it was just a little too far out of my comfort zone, so it ended up turning into something a little more my style.
Another attempt at lyrics and [...]
(You see I’ve given up pretending it’s three hours – though even Tuesday is in doubt this time).
Well….this one was a marathon effort – finally finished after 8 hours of effort….partially because I was silly enough to write lyrics and sing.
It’s a blues based hard rock piece [...]
