Hey pals!

I’ve decided to start completing and sharing some of the overwhelming amount of almost finished songs I have sobbing on my hard drive.

Today I’m happy to share a song I wrote for my partner Katie a few years ago. We’d been through a lot up to that point, so it’s all about the ups and downs of life. Take a listen!

Hey chums!

Here’s a friendly reminder to send me some sounds so I can make a piece of music like this with you :) I’ve only had a handful so far and it would be great to have a bustling bunch to choose from, so literally RIGHT NOW* here’s what I’d like you to do:

Hi pals!

A couple of months ago Sally, a teacher friend of mine, invited me to partake in a project she was doing with her students during lockdown. The kids were challenged to record sounds they found interesting at home using a phone or tablet. Sally sent the recordings to a selection of musicians to make a piece of music with, so the kids could hear how their sounds inspired creativity in different ways!

It took me a while to get to it but I’ve finally made a track with the incredible and unusual sounds the kids recorded!

Hi friends!

This week I'm sharing a silly, sweet short story with you. It was inspired by Meg, who told me:

"I once knew a little red chicken who had been struck by lightning. She survived but as a result was quite loopy.

This week I have an extra tangy treat for you! Jack asked for "A song about that face you pull when you eat a lemon."

So here's a juicy track all about the super zingy face imploding powers of lemons!

Hi friends!

I made you a thing!

Last week I asked if I could make you something silly. Valeria asked for a song about being a parent, so, drawing on my experiences as a new dad, I made a song called...

Hi friends!

A lovely bunch of buds recently joined up to this mailing list when I announced I was deleting my Facebook account. THANK YOU for staying with me as I escaped from the dastardly clutches of Facebook!

To say thanks to you all for being subscribers of my newsletter I'd like to make you a silly something!

Hi friends!

How are you doing? There's a lot going on in the world huh. I hope you're safe and well.

I've been taking some time to reflect on recent events and to start reading, watching and listening to more perspectives on racism and institutional inequality. I wrote some initial thoughts a couple of weeks ago: Black Lives Matter

Otherwise things are pretty ok with me! I've just finished music work on the first season of Cartoon Network's The Fungies, which will be out sooooon on HBOmax, and my baby boy is goshdang beautiful.

Hola amigitos!

I mentioned last newsletter that I'd be releasing a mini-series of musicians playing inside the brain of a mystical computer...

Well I'm relieved to say that I wasn't lying (this time) and the whole series is now available for you to enjoy!
