COVER ALBUMS I remember Peter Cooper (from ElectroSquad) saying at high school, that it was far preferable to discover a chord progression for yourself than learn it from someone else's song. And I know exactly what he means - if you learn someone else's song and you play its chord progression, often all you'll hear [...]

2024 edit: Before we begin, something a little bit Kraftwerk from Space March... Space March - 1010011 - more info » Kraftwerk should be the most boring live band ever - four, oldish, unanimated German men standing in a row behind their black, faceless synth workstations - [...]
One of my fans made the great suggestion to turn the Mountain King album cover into a desktop wallpaper - which I have now done. Below you will find wallpapers in a range of screen resolutions. I used Google Analytics to see what the most popular screen sizes are for people who visit my site, [...]

I was trying to decide which demo to play you this week, until I saw the fabulous Regina Spektor at the Sydney Opera House the other night which led me to Twee Song. Regina does the quirky twee pop thing superbly in songs like Fidelity and the pizzicato rhythm immediately reminded me of Twee Song. [...]
I wrote a number of ballads for the forthcoming album and it was hard choosing which ones to record, but 'Leaving Town' always stood out as a really interesting song. It represents an odd style of music this Industry would rather didn't exist - a sub-genre of synthpop which I like to call "pastoral synthpop" [...]
'Babylon' is a song about a controlling man corrupted by the pursuit of money and power. Heavy topic, I know :) The mythology surrounding Babylon is popular amongst sci-fi enthusiasts and conspiracists alike - the genesis of reptilian humanoids, the Babylonian Brotherhood who supposedly control the world and other fanciful ideas. So it was the [...]
A friend of mine once commented on the women and geography theme running through my albums - on Without This You Can Never Change there was 'Canadian Girls', on Monumental – 'American Girl', and on the forthcoming album will be my latest song 'Norway' in which I personify the Norwegian landscape as a kind of [...]
