A downbeat song. A few Nick drake inspired chord changes.Unravel the MoonlightUnfollow the day Recover the sunlightIt's showing the wayYou'll spend the whole time alone, aloneYou'll bring the whole world home, today. Words undone together Lives falling apart Keep fighting the moment Go back to the start.You'll spend the whole time alone, aloneYou'l…

I'm in mimicking mode again. More of a homage actually. This one is my version of a Mark Hollis (former Talk Talk) type song. The guy has one weird voice, and indistinct lyrics. Well, here goesتوسط Wes Martin

Whether its waking from a bad dream, or a period of confinement, be it spiritual or emotional, there is always the rising sun, the earth turns. Inspired by Philip Glass, I must admitتوسط Wes Martin

A few years back I had the pleasure of performing some live music to my mate Ollie's art performance as The Real Charlie Cheese. This is a new piece, and for me it evokes that particular character. Charlie is a modern day jester, fool, pied piper, call him what you will. He nods back to Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel n Hardy....bygone heroe…

I'm a week behind myself. This is a mellow number, guitar, piano and first appearance this year of the Banjo.توسط Wes Martin

When I did this weekly song project first time around in '11, Bert Jansch sadly passed away. This time, the news of John Renbourn passing away reached me today. A true guitar hero and songwriter, founder member of Pentangle, teacher, solo performer. Amazing dude. I luckily had occasion to meet him a couple of times, sweet guy. RIPThis is a song I w…

I wrote a song about oddities. Here it is.توسط Wes Martin

This is week 9, its a pretty chilled one. I tried to get a Zero 7 feel, but you know, without the know how, lol. Anyhow, enjoy.توسط Wes Martin

This weeks tune is quite upbeat for me. Its a departure from piano and back to the guitar. Superficially its quite upbeat, its got spikes though. Hope you enjoy.توسط Wes Martin

Sleeping out in a forest, next to the earth, can be a simultaneously beautiful and terrifying experience. In Winter the nights are so long, cold, and the mornings quiet, free of birdsong. In summer, the rains can fool us, make us weary..heats dry our skins, bring a thirst. Despite these things, when that moment comes to rest on the earth, we are at…

Week 6, and this one is about being a little offensive, and sometimes provocative on social media. Its like a form of tourettes, sometimes I find myself saying all the bad things.توسط Wes Martin

Ok, another rather downbeat offering. I have two sons, and despite them being fully engaged with and enjoying life, I sometimes despair for what could be their future. Anyhow, I'm sure they will thrive. This song is about these anxieties of mineتوسط Wes Martin

Week four. I'm creating and recording a sound piece every week for a year (again). This is about drift, the snow, the sea, the wave, clouds, the body.توسط Wes Martin

Week 3, a song, sung, about finding space amidst the clutter of lifeتوسط Wes Martin

Week two, round two of my weekly noise project '15.Another piano instrumental. I love introducing dissonance, ever so slightly into the mix, its there. This piece is about a shift in states, a flux.توسط Wes Martin

A short piece. Instrumental.توسط Wes Martin

A simple, short song about final letting goes and endings.Tail lightsPeering like monsters Against the nightGoodbye,Our time has comeTo an end, nowSilence,Speaks to a future,We never had.So help me,My heart is caught,And it needs to be free x2توسط Wes Martin

I've not posted on here in such a long time. This is one of many tunes written from the shadows, from a place of reflection and loss. Hope you enjoyتوسط Wes Martin

Ok, so this is pretty much a Satie number, I just found myself noodling around with his sound, this happened. Its a piece from a pretty dark place however.توسط Wes Martin

This is one of those eerie autumnal numbers that seem to float around my head at this time of year. I imagine an Atkinson Grimshaw painting when listening to parts of this. I suppose its another song about fighting those little demons that trouble us.GuitarBassHarpDulcimerSynthتوسط Wes Martin

First track for a while. A whistful autumnal number.توسط Wes Martin

This is collaboration with Hannah Duncan, http://soundcloud.com/hanjan. I wrote the bare bones of the song and Hannah created the rest, the harmonies, counter melody and orchestration. I don't think I would have recorded this on my own, as it lends so much to Drake, but Hannah lent her unique voice to it, making it much more of a joint effort, and …

Week 49 from the 'weekly noise' project, a tune a week for the whole of 2011. http://thespeedofsoundblogcast.wordpress.com/This was inspired by the poem 'Sweet Darkness' by David Whyte.

Week 48 from the 'weekly noise' project, a tune a week for the whole of 2011. http://thespeedofsoundblogcast.wordpress.com/ Whoa!, this one could be a little heavy. I'm back to my usual melancholia. The biblical meaning of The Mark Of Cain and its contemporary meaning have diverged somewhat. Here, its pretty encrypted but its about the shit we carr…

Week 47 from the 'weekly noise' project, a tune a week for the whole of 2011.http://thespeedofsoundblogcast.wordpress.com/I think this is in 11/8, predominantly. It gives it an erratic, waltz time, mis step feel. It was originally gonna be about my mate, Harvey, but it went off somewhere and found others. See what you make of it.Guitar.Bass,Piano,S…

Week 43 from the 'weekly noise' project, a tune a week for the whole of 2011.http://thespeedofsoundblogcast.wordpress.com/ I've been wanting to write a song about childhood for a while now. My two boys provide plenty of material, their own secret worlds are just mesmerising. Hanjan HanJan posted a recording of her daughter Eleanor http://snd.sc/tKu…

Week 41 from the 'weekly noise' project, a tune a week for the whole of 2011.http://thespeedofsoundblogcast.wordpress.com/A tune in 7/8 and 3/4, I think, could be wrong. Anyhow its about relationships, between people and inbetween times.Its a song of two contrasting halves too. I was thinking about 'The Snow Goose' story at the time, hmmm, make of …

Week 39 from the 'weekly noise' project, a tune a week for the whole of 2011.http://thespeedofsoundblogcast.wordpress.com/ Very sadly this week Bert Jansch died. A true guitar legend and inspiration to countless folkies n rockers alike. He was the man. This is my tribute, in the style of Bert. He would have done it with infinitely more style howeve…

Week 36 from the 'weekly noise' project, a tune a week for the whole of 2011.http://thespeedofsoundblogcast.wordpress.com/ A break from the songwriting here. This is an ambient track over a poem recitation. I recently found this poem, by me, written a lifetime ago. In a sense this is like a conversation between the young me, and the me at present. …
