A Forest Cathedral
I composed this track just after visiting a protected ancient woodland. The natural shapes of the trees over the trackways and paths provided the title as well as inspiration.

Halloween
It is dark, blacker than black as the creatures of darkness come out. On this night they take over the entire world. It is a foolish person who steps out while the monsters rampage with evil glee. At last the dawn breaks, stopping the creatures in their tracks, burning them and forcing them to melt away.

The Piper
I once knew a family very much into playing gigs in pubs and bars, mostly folk style music. They could all play various instruments as well as sing, but the young girl was amazing. She could play just about any pipe, flute or whistle. I've tried to capture some of her liveliness with this tune.

Baby Elephant Ballet
Watching A natural history program about elephants gave me the cue for this tune, hearing the babies trumpeting as they played.

Lost (but never forgotten)
I was playing my synth, trying out some new ambient voices when a few notes just seemed to stick together. I orginally gave this composition a silly title, but it continued to haunt me. After making a few small corrections I gave the title more thought but nothing fitted. Later, it was playing in the background when I saw a very sad news item, and it all came together.

Going Nowhere
This is just a pleasant sequence of chord patterns that end up almost where they start.

Antartica
Here I try to capture the cold, isolation and mystery of this vast frozen continent.

The Bird On The Hill
There is a little oasis of peaceful countryside near where I live. Due to the unusual lie of the land you hear no traffic noise even though a busy motorway is almost in sight. I just sit back against a tree and listen to the birds.

Krazy Shuffle
The first phrase of the main theme for this up-tempo tune had been sitting in my musical bits box for a couple of years before I finally managed to work out what to do with it and what backing it needed.
