Musical Innovator

Having invented the sound the kids are calling "Big Beat" yesterday I thought today I'd create another genre which I shall name "Shoegazing". I started with some bagpipes and got a little bit drunk and wondered what they would sound like through a fuzzbox. Quite good as it happens, so I sent everything else through the same effects. The results are here.

Done another poo

Here's another tune what I made. I like most of it because there is a tension between the spooky bits and the heavy-handed breakbeats. Maybe I've invented a new genre of music which I could call "Big Beat" and get that bloke out of the Housemartins to contribute, or maybe I'm not very interesting.

PROGKRAUT

It was Steve' birthday in November and he asked me to prepare a set of strictly Prog Rock and Kraut Rock. I didn't stick too faithfully to the brief but I've uploaded a condensed version of the first half of the night. There's a horrible glitch mid way through the Gottsching track that I can't work out how to rid myself off. I've tried for a couple of weeks to work it out but the it seems beyond my technical skills - I'll repost if I can carry out the necessary repairs. And to anyone who was there at the George & Dragon sorry for the second half of my set - Nick Drake seemed like a good idea in rehearsals.
