Shine Through - Behind the Scenes!

Shine Through - Behind the Scenes!

Hello everyone!

I'm very excited to be able to share with you this full behind the scenes video for Shine Through! We had a second camera rolling for most of the time we were filming and we've edited it down to this nifty lil' look behind the curtain.

Full BTS videos like this are something that working alone, I've never been able t...

Shine Through - WAV, Instrumental and A Cappella!

Shine Through - WAV, Instrumental and A Cappella!

And here is the song again in full quality WAV as well as the A Cappella and, as a rare treat, the instrumental!

Oxygen did incredible work composing this piece especially for the project at such short notice. I wanted a sort of Mumford & Songs meets Chainsmokers vibe and he nailed it.

Shine Through - MP3!

Remember how in a previous post I said how 'Room for Improvement' was a rare example of a project that was spontaneous and didn't have the luxury of lots of time for pre-production? Well good(?) things come in pairs I guess!

When Square Enix reached out to me to make a music video for them it broke my heart, but I had to turn them down. I ...

'Ello, love.

I've managed to up the quality on the ol' song with a decent wav export an' I managed to strip off all the instruments for you an'-all.

Any chance of a cuppa?

"Look I know I said I'd upload these songs just after the video but I had to grab a bap on the M25."

I had a blast making this song and video but in truth, the whole project was born of convenience. I had all my content planned ahead to cover my time out I needed to move house but the whole process took WAY longer and I needed so...

Normally I write a big long description for these, about my thoughts and process. But I've taken so long getting around to uploading this and I have SO little time that I figure you'd rather just have the MP3 and settle for the SparkNotes version!

I always loved this track but it was, at the time, a massively ambitious pr...

Hello everyone! I'm incredibly sorry for my absence around these parts lately! The house renovation and move has been really kicking my behind and I've got some other real exciting things in the pipeline too!

And here's the track from a higher quality dimension! And also a dimension where instruments don't exist!

I know a cappella versions aren't for everyone but this one really shows off all the complicated harmonies on the track and I think is really worth a listen. :P

Something a little different!

I've loved the Ratchet and Clank series since the PS2 days. Sadly however when the series moved to the PS3, I didn't and I lost my way with the series. But when Rift Apart was announced for the PS5 I knew I had to not just play it but also write a song about it.

I initially planned to do something silly...

It's breakdown time! The video kind, not the mental one!

I'm so happy to finally have this project out there and with how it turned out.

It's a little different from how I initially envisioned it. Back in October/November when I was planning the initial video I had grander plans. But with the video being delayed and the game being a....

Crikey, this was a big one. Without a doubt the largest and most complex video to date. Six days of shooting, 3 separate sets, 2 green screen shoots, a location shoot (at night!) and more props and costume than you can shake a stick at, the video took months to plan and complete.

I've said in the past that shooting on a set instea...

GOSH does it feel good to finally have this project out there! Dan and I started brainstorming this track back in 2019 when the song was announced! I initially pitched the idea to Dan as a song just for him, when the TV themes in the trailers gave me the idea for a 'Dive Into the Madness' sequel abut 'Tuning in', but Dan liked the idea enough to...

Evil Cave Building for Beginners - Pt2: A Designing a Desk for Domination

No self respecting would-be intercontinental-consolidator would dare embark on a campaign for conquest without a darned snazzy desk to sit at and machinate. Blofeld? Desk. Mr Burns? Desk. Darth Vader? We never see it but you can bet he had one somewhere and it probably had lasers.

The day they first announced Evil Genius 2 way back in 2019 I had already written a bunch of notes. I just KNEW I'd do a song. The original game meant so much to me and I still play it now and then.

I had no idea Rebellion, the publishers of the sequel, would reach out to me to officially sponsor me! I have strict rules on what s...
