‘ dumber every day ‘

This song was written by an old friend of mine ( Cass Anderson ). She called me up out of the blue one day and asked if i could produce a couple of songs for her .

I had known her for 20 odd years and didn’t know she wrote songs . Not only that – she writes great songs  . I played the instruments and her son Kitt made the clip . Enjoy .

Lost Things – BOOM CRASH OPERA

I know the music i make now is very different to what i was up to in the eighties but heck – it rocks .

Like an un-fit footy player with groin soreness ; these songs for some reason never really got a guernsey .

This is a portion of a song called  ‘ change ‘ It’s as close as we ever got to a power ballad .

Favourite Wentworth cue

Warning this scene is a spoiler if you haven’t seen the series ( UK viewers take note )

This scene is so sad even after working on this scene for hours i still cry at the end .

An interesting exercise is to watch it with and without music. It illustrates how much emotion music adds to cinema .

The cue is simple it’s just piano , controlled guitar feedback and echo , percussion and various vocal samples .
