about

The Tunesmiths challenge that resulted in this track was the brief to create a spooky piece of music. This particular piece touches on the Avantgarde and uses a fictional dilapidated house as its setting.

Starting with a knock on the door of the deserted building, the curiosity of a passer-by gets the better of him and he enters a world of disturbing noises, strange goings on and non-corporeal happenings before a chase scene leads him to a basement where something not quite of this world and very probably alien is imprisoned and connected up to a mass of tangled wires and cobbled-together electronic equipment.

Is the being in the basement the cause of the strange goings on upstairs and does everyone get out alive?

This piece uses a variety of objects including a creaking door, singing wine glasses, a cutlery drawer, a child’s music box and ticking clocks to create the soundscape. Instruments used include keyboards and a bass guitar whilst an electric guitar piece makes a reappearance two decades after I recorded it on a humble four track recording machine.

Also included in the melee is my brother Ross playing didgeridoo (recorded when I was out in Australia back in 2008) as well birdsong, thunder and a "doctored" bass line from my version of the Doctor Who theme tune – all of which have featured in previous Tunesmiths outings.
