about

the novelty album.

the novelty factor is the absence of drums with all beats supplied by a 37 year old casio keyboard which i bought in hong kong in 1985. i often prepare demos using this machine and decided to make it a feature of each arrangement for this project. some songs are new, others are old, some reach back to the 1990's but all have been refitted and lovingly reconsidered or redrawn for a fresh expression.

i have now written over 100 songs and each one is some sort of story, recollection or observation about my time on earth. if all of them were assembled in a logical sequence, the unfolding narrative of my life would become evident.

at least if i was a writer, that's the story that i'd tell.

here are another nine unpublished memoirs.


OVERLOOKED TITLES FOR THE ALBUM:

the space between memory and fiction
sultanas of swing
a permanent smile was the dolphin's downfall
no drummer required
the sound of eyes rolling
a slow walk through shallow water
urinals i have known and loved

about

trio of misfortune Sydney, Australia

For 34 years, I have been recording music. Not every year, but usually the years that follow on from a major life event (1995-97,2000-02, 2011-13, 2019). The music presents itself at these times and I use it to find a way to make sense of things. Post 2020, I'm writing and recording just for the love of it. I hope you enjoy these collections of my music. Michael. ... more
