jamaraz unreleased #26: '5000 Men'

In April or May earlier this year, I stumbled upon an 'audiobook' of the bible, in cassette form. Like, about 30 cassettes, and each one had someone reading various passages from the bible. I saw an opportunity and so I sampled some bits and made this little bit, which I'm quite proud of.

it's all just a bit of fun really. i'm not a christian myself so this isn't a promotional piece for christianity, nor is this satire intended to mock it. it's just sweet sweet music!

Music is ℗...

Dopamine (Cover)

This is the cover I was telling you about last week in this post!! just to remind you, my friend Oliver Ripley is the main mind behind a band called Cry About It, and they're releasing a deluxe version of their album soon. For this deluxe version he wanted different artists to cover different songs on the album, I was chosen to do 'Dopamine'! (cos he knows its my fav song)

To The Red Haired Girl

hey guys so here's the song that I was talking about yesterday!

Of the four songs on Sammy Phase's first EP this is the second one i've shared, you can listen to 'Whoever I Wanna Be' here if you haven't yet!

Lyrics:

I've got blue hair
I see you staring at it
I don't care

3/4 songs recorded for Sammy Phase EP1

Earlier this week on Monday I showed u guys that song "Whoever I Wanna Be" for this week's Jamaraz Unreleased, remember that??

In case you missed it (go check it now), basically a bit of a side quest I have right now is recording some songs from the perspective of Sammy, you know, from the song Sammy.

So the story is before all the stuff that happened in the RTZ song, Sammy actually made music himself, and so these are the songs I'm doing right now. I'm currently working on his ...

RJ tutorial #22: 'Deathsong' Guitar tabs + chords!

Happy 1st anniversary to this song and the album it's from, Dec. 13th 1998!! It's mad that it came out a year ago now, feels like almost yesterday.

To celebrate this song's 1st birthday, here are the tabs and chords for it :-)

I hope you enjoy playing it! It's pretty simple I think

Enjoy :-)

building my studio - 8th december

bit late! I've been using it so much recently that i completely forgot the outside world existed!

here are some pictures of me doing the final setting up of the studio, with help from my friend Alfie who is behind the camera :-)

Updates on songs I've been working on

so i shared that song She's Not Xonvinced recently which is cool, and I recorded a full version of the song (minus vocals, i cant be arsed rn.) It's not going to be the final version, definately not, but its wa...

jamaraz unreleased #25: 'Whoever I Wanna Be'

Here's that song I made with the DIY drum kit I was on about a few weeks ago!

Basically the whole idea behind this song is that Sammy (the character from the song) is a real guy and he has his own little music project, and this song is one of his songs! I've already written a few more that I'm going to record, and eventually I'll release them on streaming services but under the name Sammy Phase ...

She's not Xonvinced

Today I'm off to Manchester to go to a festival with some friends of mine, I recorded this as soon as I got up this morning, quickly before I left for the train

I wrote it last night



Obviously it's a rlly rough recording here, I just recorded the keyboard and drums thru a speaker and sang over the top of them playing, but you get the gist of how it goes.

Unfortunately since I...

RJ tutorial #21: 'Glint (demo)' chords and tabs

First of all, if you haven't heard this song of mine, you can hear it here!! It's not been released anywhere else apart from here on Patreon, but a couple people asked for the chords, so I decided to write it out.

I've written the tabs AND chords in, so if you just wanna see the chords, you can see them (with diagrams for how to play them), but if you want to play the song accurately and get ...

Regarding RTZ: Deluxe

Hi - me again!! I know I just posted something like 2 minutes ago but I thought I'd just say this now

RTZ DELUXE IS ACTUALLY ON ITS WAY

I've told people on my discord this but not all of you are on there so here's the scoop:

The deluxe version of RTZ was supposed to release on Dec 1st, but it didn't, due to a complication; On RTZ deluxe I'm re-releasing some early one-off recordings I made, for example Adam's Apple. You know, those few singles I released earlier this year...

Recent songwriting

So I wrote two songs yesterday and today, one called Baby I'm Tyred



...and Phates Kollide





These are both songs that are going to be part of my next release. U may recall me saying that the next 2 albums (no.9 and 10) are sort of going to be a part 1 / part 2 type deal. That's not ...
