Five short stories

They were listening to Italian disco. Ghostly vocals, dreadful production. He kept staring at her knees. She kept staring at her knees. They were both staring at her knees. Caught between the music and the awkwardness she didn't realise. They were good knees. He knew.

Stepping out of the car, James glanced up at a neighbour's window. The curtains twitched in reverse as Laura staggered from view behind the reflection of her sofa. James walked towards his front door. Laura got up to walk back towards the window. She didn't recognise the car.

The pond was filled with life, a mirror image of the garden. A dead hedgehog was splayed out on top of an abandoned ants' nest. A foot lay by the patio boundary.

Ignoring the radio, tools and task, Paul looked blankly at the void. He was a confused cosmonaut drifting from his common sense and space wasn't as dark as he'd hoped it would be.

Was it hungry or just curious? Discarded pieces of tissue paper formed recognisable shapes in front of the cage. Within formed unrecognisable shapes. Was it hungry or just curious?

Two more tracks. I have decided to do some tape work again so these may be the last smooth sounding pieces for a while. I think I need some noise to get me out of where I am.

As most of my creativity gets sucked into an attempt to write proper songs the rest becomes a lot of silly doodles on a keyboard. As posting them up here stops me from deleting them all I am doing so. I hope you take some enjoyment in some of them.

Chamberrock was created with the help of Duncan Geere who did the original level of drum and bass backing, the structure and inspired the rest.

The two "handsfree" tracks are made using a webcam to midi converter. As they involve me programming some synths, and then waving my hands about frantically, handsfree is probably not the best word but there was no touching of keys or buttons between record and stop.

The two following ringtones are ringtones that I have created. I am planning to do hundreds more so if anyone would like one please email me or comment me or tell me or anything and tell me what you want and I'll do it.

Lemonade (Lindsay's ringtone)

And here are the rest in no particular order:
