New Release

89 Second (to midnight)

On January 27th the Doomsday Clock will be updated for 2026. In the past year it stood at 89 seconds to midnight - the nearest to midnight it has ever been. I am sure it will closer in 2026. Have we learnt nothing?
​
The words spoken are mostly mine but the main theme "Dulce et Decorum Est" is from the war poet - Wilfred Owen. I have borrowed from him - he is after all a great poet while I am not. Do listen to the original - it should be compulsory for everyone to read or listen to. The patriotic war is of course the great lie.
​
The track came about after watching the body of a young Palestinian child being buried. If watching that doesn't make you cry then nothing ever will.

The money from all purchases prior to January 27th will go to a Palestinian Charity.

June 23rd 2026 New Release The Fredholm Alternative It's 1961, the cold war is in full swing and the Bay of Pigs has just ended in a debacle for the US. Western and Soviet spies are on full alert. Will the world descend into nuclear war? How can it be stopped? The Fredholm Alternative may be the only solution. Actually the Fredholm Alternative is a complex piece of mathematics but it sounds so like a 1960s-film title..... Recorded live on hardware synths, with minimal post-processing. Cover...

April 18th 2026 New Release The Ghosts of Mars You have to love Bonkwave! If you don't know what Bonkwave is and what it isn't then I suggest you look at https://bonkwave.org/ Seriously though the Bonkwave team regularly puts out compilations of new independent music and I have been lucky to have been included previously. So it was really nice to have a second track, The Ghosts of Mars, in the recently released "The Four Seasons of Bonkwave: Autumn Waves 2". So do take a listen here:...
