about

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT.
The handful of recordings gathered here are the unripened fruits of a long distance collaboration between myself and F ( 174' ) , sometime around 2007- 2008.
F. created the lions share of the musical work, whilst I sought to make songs from his sketches, adding the lyrics and guide vocal, guitar parts, a little bass, keyboard, even mandolin, and restructuring some of the elements. I'd hand them back and on a few he did some more refining. My wobbly vocals were originally only meant to be a guide, with a view to enlisting other singers, but on reflection the words and delivery are probably too idiosyncratic for this ever to have worked.
I feel like the lack of a positive outcome sapped a lot of creative energy from me. I don't know if any of it is even any good, as nobody ever heard it. One wonderful song with words and a vocal by Otto Smart, ( on which I play half a dozen notes of guitar) did make it out alive on a compilation album and as a download- Queen Mary ( is Real Fun ) ( Enchanterecords )

F. has moved on a long way since and 174 sound amazing, so I hope he doesn't mind me sharing this interesting diversion from along the road to where he is now. I hope you find something you like. A x
