Synopsis

I am a folk musician who likes my music to bend round corners...

Episodes

  • Sorry I Can't Hear You

    04/06/2015 Duration: 01min

    This track show's the pearls of not listening. I recorded this track whilst listening to really loud music and I couldn't hear myself playing at all. I haven't gone for beauty here. I wouldn't recommend this as a style of recording.

  • Strathwobble

    28/05/2015 Duration: 02min

    Here's a wobbly electronic strathspey. Not much more to say than that.

  • Private Dancer

    20/05/2015 Duration: 02min

    Have you ever danced on your own with no one looking? Well I've written this music for you to dance to. There is no form, you can go as crazy as you like and it's only two minutes long. So it's a quick stupid dance and you will feel better for it. (I'm sure I'll get some spam with this title...)

  • William Marshall Reels

    14/05/2015 Duration: 02min

    I thought I would head in a traditional vein this week. 3 reels from one of Scotland's top fiddle composers William Marshall (nineteenth century). There are 3 tunes: Mr Alexander Laing's Hornpipe (E Major) Master Frank Romily (F Major) Mr John Angus' Reel (E Major) I think the final reel may have been played as a strathspey due to the 2nd part but it's too late to worry about that...

  • Dum Dum

    08/05/2015 Duration: 03min

    I wrote this track on election day. It features all the madness that goes in the run up to the election. It's noisy and primitive as all elections are especially this one (in 2015). This is also my second string quartet which I'll arrange in the next few weeks.

  • I want! I want!

    30/04/2015 Duration: 01min

    I found this picture on Twitter the other day. I had never seen it before but it turns out it is by William Blake. It is called "I want! I want!" and it's from his book for children "The Gates of Paradise". I looked at this picture and I thought that it might be about greed however I now think it is about someone wanting the moon so much - nothing is going to stop them getting it. It's a picture about finding away to solve problems and achieving a goal. Amazing wee drawing. Here's a link to the drawing http://simonthoumire.com/i-want-i-want/
