i’ve tried

as mentioned in the post before last, october will see the release of my album full of vocal experiments . . . these walls of mine . . . which can now be preordered here. most of the songs on this record were debuted on my flickr page a couple years ago and were created while in the process of making my http album. two songs, however, are more recent numbers, written at home in summer 2011. at one point i started walking around my apartment singing in a rather r&b style just for fun, and then i had the idea to try and make an entire song in this manner. that’s how i’ve tried came to be.

in the video below you can see me performing the song with my good friend martyn heyne, at his lichte studio, where we finalized the mixes of the album, running all my tracks through his old tape machines and echo boxes . . . fun!!!

    I love that you continually experiment with different genres and don’t just stick to one sound. Great job!

    Hello Peter! Lovely sound. I went to End of the Road in the UK, and you didn’t play, I hope it wasn’t anything bad. Hope to catch a show soon!

    Hi Peter, this new project sounds great. I’d never heard ‘softly freezing’ before either, it’s not on my edition of home bought in the uk, and can’t find it on itunes or the internet. Really like it, could you poss send it to me too? Hope to see you play live in the north of england again. Best, Joel

    I’VE TRIED:

    In this brave new world
    The only guard (god) is you
    And in this game of hearts
    The only card is you
    In this song of love
    The only voice is you
    And in this voice of you
    Every sound must be true
    And with the sound of truth
    Comes the joy of baby ruth youth

    But I’ve tried keeping the mind high
    And I’ve tried keeping levels low
    And I’ve tried to catch the eye of a spirit
    That’s always looking away
    I’ve tried
