P.s. I like the classical guitar on the second one - the productin and reverb gives it an almost harpsichord-like feel.

Yeah, my old band played at the Miller (I think twice) and Buffalo Bar, as well as others similar to the ones you listed (Archway tavern, Oh Bar in Camden, Good Ship in Kilburn, Borderline in Soho) and other minor places dotted around.
EDIT: beaten; by the second one do you mean the actual classical one, the Dowland? Because I was going for a sort of trebly harpsichord thing for the sound of Jesus Ring, but that's just a steel string.

Yeah, Dowland. Oi loikes.

listen to the Smiths much? hehe, nah not a bad track at all, very Morrisey-esque though.
Also scumble almost missed yours, is that you playing the guitar, or just a sample? Bit too ambient for my tastes, but great soundtrack sorta stuff.

Probably wasn't so visible because I edited the post.
It's actually a string modeled synth instrument - I can't play the guitar that solidly, I'm still practicing scales and getting a smooth change from G to C. Well maybe that's working well but minor ninth to major ninth is giving me trouble. Ninths and Sevenths make my boy go to sleep...
Soundtrack work would probably appeal to me, but part of the reason that is so ambient is because it's partly an exercise in writing a melody based on transforming motifs. Sounds technical but you can work out an extended melody only using one or two motifs transposed, inverted, reversed, keeping rhythm and changing notes etc.

Ah. Scumble, your post confused me because your gravatar looks way too much like Fingernails. I was quite surprised to hear that Britain's young classical guitarist of the year was having trouble changing from a g to a c. I did listen to your stuff though and it's good. Kind of arabian guitar ambience. If your into that kind of stuff maybe you should check out Seaworthy ((

Not so creative, but if you guys want to see my magnum opus so far, it's the Guide to Foreign and International Legal Citations, or as we affectionately liked to call it, the (
http://www.aspenpublishers.com/Product.asp?catalog_name=Aspen&product_id=0735579792) GFILC (in .(
http://www.law.nyu.edu/ecm_dlv1/groups/public/@nyu_law_website__library/documents/documents/ecm_dlv_006388.pdf) pdf format). It's basically a manual for the legal citation standards for about 50 countries and some int'l bodies... I had help from staff to compile the data, but basically I was the one editing, writing, rewriting, and knitting it all together into the actual manual that got published.
The original version has "Special gratitude is extended to Christopher Cade Mosley for his effort in preparing this Guide for publication" in the credits (that's me), but I noticed in the newest version a friend just bought it doesn't have this credit-line anymore. Oh well... As long as I know what I did to bring her to life.

They seem to be more on the ambient side with less prominent themes, but it's an interesting sound.
I added a couple more things that have been sitting around to (
http://arpa.bandcamp.com) - the one I awkwardly named "Drama to Dnb" (someone think of a better name) was heard by Noid and Tonamel one evening by way of IRC many moons ago, and the Bach Fantasia was posted here a long time ago but I still think it sounds nice. I'm quite enjoying pulling all these bits and pieces into one place.

Bumping cause I just finally got a SoundCloud account and it seems like a great idea- and here's something new I think it's more coherent than many of the other things I posted previously- I've been listening to the new Four Tet and Autechre albums and digging the shit out of 'em
