What a beautiful track this is! I was so inspired by the performance and arrangement I couldn't help having a crack at it myself. Obviously trying to emulate the best players around and one of the most flawless voices out there was going to be an uphill battle, but it was a good challenge to get my keyboard chops up and start signing again. It's also interesting trying to get a full sounding mi...

Love this track! Diorama is one of my all time favourite albums, absolute genius melodies and a stunning orchestral score. All single live takes on this one, had to have a few sessions at the vocals to get the endurance up to sing as high as Daniel for the whole song :)

Radiohead have been one of my favourite bands for a long time now, I was a bit late to the party; really discovering their genius when "In Rainbows" came out. I had this idea going around in my head for a while, to do a heavier version of this song, finally found some time between being a dad to get into the studio and develop it. Enjoy! And go listen to some Radiohead!!

The track that started my love for Karnivool. This was a real challenge to play, I really enjoyed the process though. All parts are one take except for the Vocal; I had to punch in on the last 2 choruses, it's just too high for too long for my range :)

One of my favourite songs, from one of my favourite song writers, Jeff Lynne. Been wanting to cover it for years, so when I heard it in the opening scene of GOTG2 I decided to finally do it. As usual, one take per shot, warts and all :)

I started making these vids as a way to keep getting into the studio even when I'm not writing or producing. This is still one of my favorite things to do, it's how I started in the studio as a youngster; pulling apart my favorite songs to learn how the separate parts that made a great track. It's all 1 take, warts and all, with many practice takes along the way. Link to the full track in the b...
