Hey steemers, Here’s an ambient track featuring warped, analogue style synths slowly unfolding; I worked hard to get an analogue feel from virtual synths, and am fairly happy with the results. ► Listen

Hey steemers. This is my short poem Artefacts of Desire from my album of the same name. Just a quick post on a Friday evening but I hope you like it. Artefacts of Desire Look at us, simple artefacts of

Hey Steemers, This is a poem from my 2015 live album, Artefacts of Desire. It was inspired by Bob Dylan's spellbinding song Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands. I fell in love with the intense, densely packed

Hey Steemers, This is a shot I took whilst my sister drove us to our dad's house over the Christmas break. Night photography can make you see familiar places in unfamiliar ways. Oddly, I didn't find growing

Hey Steemers, It's been a while since I entered the venerable Steemit Open Mic competition. It seemed seasonably appropriate to do a cover of Winter Lady by Leonard Cohen. Not that I need any justification
