Ticking, counting, passing Measure up the problems, measure up the time Beautiful dissaray Time to save us now Can you remember how we used to be? How we used to wonder Stare out the horizon and laugh More good than harm Moving Forward

Twa Corbies 06:23
As I cam by yon auld house end I saw twa corbies sitting thereon The tane tae the tither did say Whaur sall we gae dine the day Where by, by yon new fa'en birk There, there lies a new slain knight An mortal kens that he lies there But his hawks an hounds an layde fair We'll sit on his bonnie great bane We'll pick oot his bonnie grey in We'll set oor claws intil his yella hair An bigg oor bower, it's aa blawn bare Ma mither clekit me o an egg An brocht me up i the feather grey An bad me flee where ere I wad For winter wad be ma dyin day Nou winter it is cam an past An aa the birds are biggin their nests But I'll flee high aboon them aa An sing a sang o summer's sake

about

#CINEMATICFOLKELECTROROCKFUNK

A suite of new music that was commissioned for the world-renowned Celtic Connections festival, January 2019 in Glasgow.

I am heavily involved in, and influenced by the vibrant Scottish Folk and Trad music scene. At its core, Milestone is a product of this. But my musical experiences, both as an artist and a fan, reach far and wide beyond this arena. I’ve not been afraid to wear my heart on my sleeve with this music and I'm not ashamed to cite these influences as key to the sound:

Daft Punk, Cinematic Orchestra, Bjork, Air, Pink Floyd, Jamiroquai, DJ Shadow, The Foo Fighters, Massive Attack, Craig Armstrong, The Beatles…

Influences closer to home include bands like Treacherous Orchestra and Croft No. FIve (both of which I was a member of) and the late visionary, Martyn Bennett.

Each of these musical influences evokes memories of different milestones in my life. I wanted to pay tribute to some of these moments in the form of a musical response.
