My own songs from 2006 |
|||
| June 2006 - here are three songs, plus one remix, that I've written at Uni, with Sam Dickson. I recorded them at AGM. | |||
Recent recordings written by various people: |
|||
| 3rd January 2006 - after the 'swing' I'm back to a more 'poppy' song. This clip is from a song called 'Never Look Back', with music by Filip von Uexkull and lyrics by Carl Hargstrom and Robert Gould | |||
| 20th &21st December 2005 - I'd just got back from Uni at Bath Spa, where I'm now studying Commercial Music, and recorded four songs at AGM. They all have music by Robert Thomson from the US www.piano-sam.com and lyrics by Bob Gould www.freewebs.com/bobgould . 'There' is from a new musical of 'The Prince and the Pauper'. | |||
| 21st September 2005 - I recorded this song at AGM. It is written by Filip von Uexkull, with lyrics by Jimmy Granstrom and Robert Gould. | |||
| 13th September 2005 - I recorded these songs with James Voros. 'If we dare to love' was written by Ben Messenger with lyrics by Robert Gould. This was originally recorded as a solo song, but I think it works better in this version with Alex Phillips. 'Closer' is by Paul Alexander (from Paris), with the arrangement by James. | |||
| 7th September 2005 - 'Evening sky' is by Dean Heller, with lyrics by Robert Gould. | |||
My own songs from 2005 |
|||
| I worked on a couple of songs with Chris Jones, and I'm really grateful for the support I got from Louise Ryan, my vocal coach and Al Steele. Here is a clip of the remixed version of 'Love Needs No Reason' that we first recorded at Shabbey Road Studios in Caerphilly mid April. | |||
| At the end of March we recorded 'This Story's My Confession'. I've redone the vocals now. Here's a clip of it. | |||
Westminster Studios |
|||
| In 2005 I met up with Swedish composer Filip von Uexkull in London and recorded two of his songs. They were produced by Chris Elms and I've had some really good feedback on them. | |||
Shabbey Road Studios |
|||
| In May/June 2005 I recorded a great song by Al Steele called 'I Change'. My voice certainly changed - when we started I was full of hay fever! Here's a clip. | |||
| I've had a great deal of encouragement from Paul Weston, who wrote two songs for Bac2Bac, which were recorded in 2004. Listen out for excellent guitar backing from Nigel Jenkins. | |||

After Owen Money in 2004 I was contacted by Bob Gould, a local lyricist, whose has written many new musicals and was currently working on entries for the 2005 Cardiff International Festival of Musical Theatre Global Search for New Musicals. He was submitting a musical called Nova, that he had written in conjunction with Tristan Bons and Jimmy Granstrom, from the Netherlands and Sweden respectively. The numbers I was involved in are featured below. All the songs I have recorded locally in conjunction with Bob Gould were recorded at AGM Productions in the Swansea Valley. |

At the beginning of May 2005 I recorded 'Daylight's Breaking', which is a version in English of 'Nessun Dorma', with music by Giacomo Puccini and lyrics by Robert Gould. I wanted to do something completely different to G4's version. I think you'll agree I did! |
|||
| At the beginning of March 2005 I recorded two songs at AGM. The first is 'You Light My Flame', with music by Filip von Uexkull and lyrics by Robert Gould and Jimmy Granstrom, and the second is 'The Meaning of Love' with music by Dean Heller and lyrics by Robert Gould. | |||

This is a song recorded at the end of November 2004 called 'I Cross Over Borders'. It is a translation of a song, originally in German, with music by Julian Martin lll and lyrics by Robert Gould and Jimmy Granstrom. |

| Here are two more songs, recorded at the beginning of November 2004. 'Love Must Have Fooled the Skies', with lyrics by Jimmy Granstrom and Bob Gould, and music by Jimmy Granstrom and Dean Heller, plus 'I Don't Want to Cry Anymore', with lyrics by Bob Gould, Allan Mooney and Jimmy Granstrom, and music by James Voros. | |||

|||
| In
2004 I recorded the soundtrack for a new musical called 'Nova', with music by Tristan
