Crystallis
These are some videos that I've made. Music videos mainly. I've thought, for some years, about making an album and I'm part-way there. Each link will pull up a new window with the video. These vids were made a couple of years ago - before Duypens Contracture had started affecting my fingers.
A big Thank You here to the folk at LongTail Video who have created a light and superb cross-browser player for these videos to be played in. If you've ever designed a website you'll know that such a clean solution as the JW Player isn't easy to come by. My thanks again!
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy.
A song about Jesus' crucifixion. I wrote a lot of the songs that Double Edge played back in 1990-92. This isn't one of them but, although I'm not really religious now, I kind of like it. I live in a busy part of Caversham...the scooter noise outside the window isn't part of the song!!
A song I love playing; a song that expanded the way I play the guitar. Finding this finger-style and playing with strings without basing them on a particular chord progression was a definitive moment.
Written when I was missing my son; I still do even now that he's all growed up - just not in the same way as getting to see and talk to him is somewhat easier!
I made this film for my parents. The walk to work along the Thames from Caversham to Thames Valley Park changes, of course, with the seasons. This video is some photos that I took with a little music from U2...hope they don't mind!
