THE PLUTO TAPESThe Pluto Tapes is my one man indie-pop “band.” I play all the instruments, write all the parts, and record all the songs. Below are some of the songs I’m particularly proud of, in MP3 format.
(All songs recorded with Steinberg Cubase. )
“Guernica”
The most traditionally pop song here – it’s very U2/Cure ish. Instantly catchy. ”Vinyliser” plug-in used to give the lead-in a strange, “old Paris” feel.
“Fireflies”
A newer song, probably the one that sounds most like a full band is playing. It’s my attempt at a “When The Levee Breaks”/”Pure Morning” esque drone-stomp. Compressed industrial sounding drums (SSL compressor plug-in), layered vocal parts… it’s very, very cool.

“Henry Spencer X”
Another relatively new tune – it’s heavily influenced by bands like Reverend Glasseye and his Wooden Legs and Firewater. The lyrics are an homage to Eraserhead. Drum track and horn riff recorded with Propellerhead Reason.

“Esme The Powerful”
This is my attempt at writing theme music. Esme is a cartoon character my girlfriend and I came up with – she’s a slightly misanthropic seven year old witch who hasn’t quite figured out how to control her powers yet. I wrote this instrumental piece using Propellerhead Reason.
