Not all of my songs are to someone else's tune or written about space and science fiction. Most are, yes, but not quite all. I have a few original songs about fantasy novels or sequences, which tend to have little or nothing to do with the more fantastic elements of such novels.

Back at Decadence I was privileged to try out Annie Walker's Clairsach harp for a couple of hours, and not long after, I (a) decided I really wanted one and (b) started writing for it. 5 months later, at the start of June, I bought a 22-string lap harp (a Stoney End Eve) from Hobgoblin music in London, and she's just as beautiful to play as I remembered. You can hear a wav file of the tune to some of the songs by clicking on and one day I'll get a picture of her scanned in here.

I'm always working on new songs; I'll post new ones here from time to time.
