Ambient Electronica.
The Ghost In Your Hand
Check out this song I did with the amazing Steve Amadeo, featuring Damon Clarridge on drums;
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;
It has a contemporary
folky progressive feel,
with a dystopian ambient
futuristic edge that's rooted
in 80's fantasy
adventure nostalgia :)
