• Sun circling
• I’m drifting to the centre
• Galaxy swirling
• I’m searching within her
• inside mother nature
• I’m looking for an anwser
• thoughtless and open
• I’m a thousand falling tears
• broken and travelling
• I’m a picture that reappears
• Inside your mind, outside your brain
• I freeze to dispell this fear
• frequencies fly and computers rearrange
• I connect to this sphere
• numbers and equations
• I find no soul within here
• just cautious and afraid
• I sell, but I’m no sear
• just a number and a slave
• I’m no barcode, just a ghost in here
• what it means, this computer screen
• I find no trust, just this fear
• sun circling
• wheres the truth
• Is it within here
• connection
• to connection
• I disappear

It’s been abit of a struggle in the last few months coming to terms with my mums death, playing guitar and writing songs has been a great help and may record and release two songs dedicated to her called ‘Waterfalls of Love’ and ‘Hurricane’ encapsulating the feelings I have at the moment, feeling lost and vulnerable to emotional currents through out my body. Its hard to accept , but realise I have the memories forever.

I’ve been working hard on creating and writing new songs over the past year and found I had enough to record a double album, my second double collection , first being ‘Hegelian Dialectic’ released in 2013. I’m pretty excited about the new additions to the artistic collection and although no real concept unlike ‘Hegelian’ (which was about stardom , insanity, and compromise) …it provides a social commentary on these confusing and somewhat dark times. The tracklisting is listed below and will go into my home studio and record later this year. Thankyou.

1)I’m a seeker
2)Lost Galaxy
3)Congregation
4)Outside the outsiders
5)Animal
6)Home
7)Temple
8)All around the world
9)Black
10) No one to trust
11)Digital sky
12)Together

DISC TWO

1) Escalator
2) Cradle
3) Travelling
4) Blue sky
5) sinister forces
6) Romeo
7) Soul Trap
8) Divided
9) Enemy
10) Circles
11) All the love
12) Thankyou

So that’s it. Believe my songwriting has evolved and look forward to sharing them. Meanwhile the third single ‘Ancient Sun’ from my latest ‘Lullaby’ will released on my website on the 3rd October 2016. Thanks for reading. take care xx

Chapter One – Memories
A declaration of love from son to mother, the innocence of love and the question of mortality. Witnessing the loss of life and realising the precious moments that have passed by. The fight between wisdom and materialism , the future of a galaxy of stars. The individual looks towards love and the feeling of emptiness that stands before him, will he comprimise or stand by his inherited love.

I’ve been writng and practicing songs for a new recording , which I will hopefully finish by the end of the year. Titled , 13, it will be an album of about 15 songs.

1. Neil Young – after the gold rush
2. Bob Dylan – desolation row
3. Soundgarden – outshined(live)
4. Ali Farka Toure and Toumani Diabate – 56
5. Gomez – our goodbye
6. Live – the river
7. Ramones – rockaway beach
8. Javier Ruibal- isla mujeres
9. Tamikrest – dihad tedoun itran
10. Stone Temple Pilots – crackerman
11. Pink Floyd – wish you were here
12. Warren Zevon – splendid isolation
13. Foo Fighters – back and forth
14. Bunny Wailer – this train
15. Otis Reading – (sittin on)the dock of the bay

Currently my family and I are researching our family tree, to see how far back we can go. Living in britain it’s hard to find our roots, as many nations have invaded and settled in the country. Celtic tribes were originally one of the first to inhabit this country, with many people, even in mid- england speaking the native tongue, which survives today in parts of wales.

I recorded my new album, “As above, so below”, from the 1st march to the 7th of march and I am very pleased with the final recording. In a month or so I will be putting a new track off this album onto my website. In the meantime I am putting on a new version of Pop Culture , recorded during these sessions. Hope you like it.
