About Me

View my complete profile

Welcome to TodaysRiff...

A few months ago my brother, a youtubing sensation, approached me stating that he was always in need of music for his videos. I’d been writing and recording for over 15 years and had somehow managed not to notice the sheer multitude of sound I’d compiled over the years. I ploughed through nearly 500 tracks of lo-fi amateur rough cuts, only a handful of which had ever blossomed into actual songs.

The shame I felt.

Music is made to be heard! I had truly neglected these old wav files, these children of mine, left to fester on my old Dell hard drive. As a birthday present to my brother I presented 98 unfinished songs, to use however he pleased, and decided to send the best of the rest out into the world. I write songs, but really I’m a ‘riffist’ – a guitarist who can come up with a new wordless tune almost every time he picks up the guitar. I struggle to finish songs, and struggle to like the ones I complete, but the tune is always there and it’s wasted without an audience. Hence the blog - a new track, everyday.

There may not be much in the way of singing, full band production or even structure, but for these things I make no apology. The point is here that something is always being made and at some point, for someone, some of it might actually be worth paying attention to.

Wish me luck, and thanks for listening.
