Couch Boy Music

An old song updated with beafed up beats in 2007.  This was one of my first ever electronic compositions, if my memory serves me right.  Originally, I used the software Fruityloops (must have been circa 2001) and Ableton Live was used for the update.

Time for some more original music.  Been working on this tune for a loooong time. Started this is Reason way back and finally got it together in Ableton recently (i.e. this year). BTW, my work-rate is only going to slow down…

Anyway, this is a scratchy techno track, influenced by the sound of morse code (no, seriously).  And you should download it before I ruin it with this description:

More acoustic stuff. This is a song I wrote last year, inspired by a friend of mine.

This track has components that have been kicking about for a while.  The 12-bar guitar part and the electronic backing have recently been married to the verse and chorus.  I’ve performed the acoustic version out and about for a while now but the version below is definitely my favourite.
