Bouncy Spring – (non-verbal vocal, upbeat, melodic, developing, harmonious, ambient)

The track came about when an esteemed friend who frequented ‘The Island Experiment’ a weekly jam night in Kilburn hosted by Wade Bayliss, told me that my music was “Floaty and ambient…” and could i do something a bit more rhythmic and punchy.

I took the comment as a challenge, he was right, I hadn’t challenged myself to many uptempo compositions. So here we are, a more upbeat matrix of love vocals, Here i am using the extreme panning of the “pan” settings on 2 DD20 Boss pedals in conjunction. (there are no edits at all in this piece, you will see this when I post up the videos…)

I like to explore melodies. Letting them expand gently and predictably but also with an unexpectedness which i owe to my love of Mozart, I particularly enjoy his musical jokes as he blatantly does something you didn’t predict, purely to make you feel the joy of the unexpected.

This is the second track from the album Nonsense A, the first of a double album, totally vocal, and totally without words. For more information on my style and thoughts in the area of music and sound please visit my website.
