Vishnu Twist

A project cooked up by me and Jerôme Senn. It’s studio-based music, but with very few electronic sounds, instead featuring layered grooves of traditional instruments, dense percussion, chopped ambient sound puzzles, meaty rock guitar and some breezy vocal hooks.

What’s It Feel Like?

Born from a pitch to do the soundtrack for Brit gangster flick Dead Bolt Dead, this bouncy psychedelic number features dialogue samples from the film.

The Birthday Song

An upbeat, playful tune originally written for my sister’s birthday, this one has had several incarnations. The current version has verses that add a creepy twist to the lyrics.
