Sounds Like: The tracks I've put up are a sort of cross section of what I'm working on at the moment.
'Slow March' is an example of my solo guitar stuff; very mellow, melodic music that is simple, but heartfelt.
'Song for the Departed' - Dedicated to the memory of Darren Jones.
'The Grounds Sounds' is a sample of - you guessed it - the sound of The Ground. Featuring Greg Lavell, Mike Story, Nick Martyn and Lachlan Maclean.
'Daichovo Horo' - a traditional Bulgarian tune, arranged and performed by Yggdrasil.
'Children's Song 6' - a composition by Chick Corea, performed in a duo with Greg Lavell. This is one from the archives!
'Neo Senoi' - another old tune but one I dug out recently, it has it's moments... featuring Warren Walker, Mike Story and Aaron Mc Cullough.
I'm planning to rotate the tunes on my page semi-regularly so make sure you pop in again to hear some other stuff!
