Sunday, January 4th, 200903/01/09 – A Machine Prayer
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009An instrumental, written in the dying hours of the third of January 2009. Careful with your ears on this one.
Time To Change
Friday, January 2nd, 2009First song of the year!
Friday, January 2nd, 2009Happy new year, everyone!
This song, The New Year, was written and recorded on 01/01/09. The way it is constructed specifically allows for collaboration – there are only vocals in the choruses. If you feel like you want to contribute to the song, you can download it here!
Not Over Yet
Friday, December 26th, 2008Anyone for a quick sketchy looper pedal cover?
Rocktober + Update
Thursday, December 25th, 2008Hey there, everyone.
Well, thanks to many things, I didn’t manage to get my fifteen covers recorded in October – I did, however, manage six. They can all be found here on my profile at FAWMers, along with four other unreleased tracks!
As a little extra treat, I have recorded a cover of a song I’ve been wanting to do for some time now – We Looked Like Giants by Death Cab For Cutie. It was a blast to record and I hope you enjoy it!
FAWM Song Dump, 50/90
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008Ahoy there, mateys.
If you look to your right, you’ll see that there is a new page under “Music”: A page one which I have collected my favourite songs that I wrote during February Album Writing Month 2008.
Now, if FAWM is the sprint, I’m now taking part in the marathon – Fifty Songs In Ninety Days, which is being generously hosted by FAWM this year. My artist page can be found here – wish me luck!
Stuff and Things!
Thursday, January 10th, 2008Work continues on polishing Evolution, hopefully to be finished soon – however, I wouldn’t expect it to be before March. That’s because FAWM is almost upon us once again! Yes, fourteen songs in twenty-eight days – but wait. This is a leap year! No problem, they say. Do us fourteen and a half.
Genius!
Sadly, some bad news on the internet music front is that Pandora, the internet music recommendation service, has been forced to block UK IPs from the site – meaning that it is now a purely US site and is in danger of going under even there. To help fill the hole Pandora leaves, I humbly recommend SeeqPod – It crawls search engines and streams you the results. Perfect if you have a song you HAVE TO LISTEN TO RIGHT NOW.
Breaking the silence
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007Hello, folks. How’ve you been?
It struck me the other day, whilst viewing the excellent Jonathan Coulton’s website, that I can’t possibly hope to keep or build a fanbase if I leave my precious site here dormant. So, sorry about that.
There are a few pieces of news that I should share with you all. Firstly, the Music For A Film EP is no longer for sale – it was a nice experiment, but I think I need to stick to free music for now. A free download will be coming shortly, so if you didn’t get a copy then not to fret.
Second, everything I do in future will be put out under the name The Approximation, the main reason being that if I actually do get a band together sometime then we’ll be already set.
Last, but not least, remember that album I was working on many moons ago? It is about to become The Approximation’s first release. The tracklisting is as follows:
01. March
02. The Walls
03. Rocking
04. SPC
05. 11
06. Ten Lies
07. Do You Know?
08. Five
09. Lay Back
10. Wanted
11. Time
Awesome. Now, if you would like to be a fan of The Approximation on the dreaded Facebook, click here. If you would like to hear a little something I’ve been up to for fun, click here.

What’s that over there?
Monday, July 16th, 2007I’ll tell you what it is – It’s a brand new NatchDan album! Yessir! Created as part of the AAD project, Triad was written and recorded from midnight to 10am July 16 2007. And it’s a corker, if I do say so myself. Go listen!
