The Ghost In Your Hand

Check out this song I did with the amazing Steve Amadeo, featuring Damon Clarridge on drums;

The Ghost In Your Hand

 We decided to just have a go at writing a song around Easter time 2020- mid Lockdown, then shelved it for some reason and forgot about it. We discovered it again fairly recently and finally decided on a name for it. I'm really pleased with how

it's turned out :)

Colours Of Rust

Check out this song I did with

the band Spitdust;

Colours Of Rust - radio edit

 It has a contemporary

folky  progressive feel,

with a dystopian ambient

futuristic edge that's rooted

in 80's fantasy

adventure nostalgia :)
