Description : An excerpt from a poem by Michael McClure in which he speaks in his 'beast language'. I used some random sounds as percussion. The 'noise' in the background is me jamming on my old theremin through a guitar pedal. Happy Hallowe'en!
Description : When my son was being born, I recorded the sound of his heartbeat that we could hear via the monitoring equipment in the hours before he finally made his arrival. I've built this simple track around it, layering loops and samples over the recording. Vocals by Mr_Yesterday.
Description : I created this track after trying Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sold in balloons at a festival. I tried to recreate some of the auditory effects, and wondered if listening to this while taking N₂O would somehow enhance the sensory experience. For the bass I tried to recreate the boinging noise a stretched balloon might make, and I tried to keep the whole backing track uncomplicated in contrast to the lively vocals. Vocals by A.M. Mews.
Description : Music with a short poem by Colin Mutchler. This is one of a few I wrote on guitar first then recorded, rather than being driven by the samples. Also one of the very few to feature me playing at all! I recorded it with my earphones plugged into the mic socket of my PC and sellotaped the one that acted as a mic to the body of my acoustic guitar.
Description : Originally written as an acoustic guitar piece, I then recorded it using my earphones-as-a-mic trick and added the other parts. I went back to it after leaving it as an instrumental for a while and added vocals by WaySideDrive.
Description : This is a track I put together a long time ago after a heavy night. It was meant to be set to animation, but I never got that far. There is a story in the sounds and music, but no words.
Description : The Robot Sequence - Part 2 - Robots Still Can't Sing.
As in part 1, there is a story in the sounds and music, but no words. The story is in the lyrics section.

Description : Vocals by Malcolm Lovett. Sometimes, if you set rap vocals at a different tempo to the rest of the track, you can get a gospel preacher type effect. Given the subject matter, that's what I was going for here. True story: when I first heard these lyrics, I initially though they were about hash resin!
Description : I've tried to keep the percussion a little loose to give a more organic feel to this track. As the track slowly grew over a two year period, it's become a mixture of sounds, styles, ideas and moods. Think of it as the musical equivalent of an old patchwork quilt or rag rug your granny made.
