Construction

The album's called "CONSTRUCTION" because rather than the traditional compose -> play -> record -> produce process it was assembled from small building blocks of sound.

Although you can download CONSTRUCTION, or any of the tracks there from, for free it's my copywrite and belongs to me so don't try passing it off as yours or making any money out of it - or else!

The table below shows the tracks in the order I originally intended them . First column is the track name, the second is a short description, click in the third to download a short taster of the track and click in the last column to download the whole track. The figures in these two columns are the file sizes in Mbytes. Beware - download times might be quite long!

If two yellow lines and a red square counts as art then a few sine waves and bursts of noise count as music! No. 1.0MB

Don't fall asleep at the back there! No. 0.5MB

When Victor Kiam famously offered you the money back on your shaver I don't think he envisaged satisfaction involving playing it through a synthesizer. Mind you I'd like my money back on it now since I left it in a hotel room in the Dominican Republic. Yes. 2.2MB

Take two pitch shifters - one up and the other down - and feed them back in on themselves via a delay. The amount of feedback is controlled by the strange home made box. Each of the buttons has a symbol on it and the piece was "played" from a "score". Yes. 4.0MB

Random radio chat. Yes. 2.0MB

It turned up - hidden in the case pocket - when we packed to go on holiday this year! I did two takes and couldn't decide between them so I kept them both - this is part two. No. 2.2MB

Did you ever get in a discussion with several people where you've got a really important point to make but every body else is so busy making their own points they won't let you get a word in edge ways? Yes. 3.0MB

I've always liked the idea of a wake. Much better to party in someone's honour than sit round sniffing. I'm sure the old man would be rolling in his grave if he heard this one. Some sort of prize to the first person to identify the exact bit of Beethoven I've used. Yes. 6.1MB

The girls keep jewelry and oddments in them. They make a rather sad little tinkly noise. The piece is in four parts played 1 then 4 then 3 then 2 the numbers refering to the order I wrote them in. Yes. 13.5MB

I had a wooden whistle and it wouldn't whistle. I had a lead whistle and they wouldn't let me whistle. I've got a tin whistle and now I t'n whistle.
There were a whole load more of these but the above are all I can remember - if anyone knows any more I'd be glad to hear from them.
Yes. 5.9MB

One of my pet hates is washing powder ads (most ads come to think of it) as it's all the same stuff anyway. This is our washing machine - another four parter. This time in the order 2 - 3 - 4 - 1. You'd be surprised how un-musical a set of sounds a washing machine makes. OK so you wouldn't! Yes. 9.4MB

When the washing machine had finally finished I said "That's it folks." after Warners. No. 0.4MB
