My Complete Discography

My Peace For Your Chaos (2024)

Posted on by Mork
Started in December 2024.  Once again, I spent a few months getting a new Logic template put together, and this is also my first set of recordings moving to Neural DSP's set of quite frankly astounding plugins (so no more DI'd Amp or stock plugins from Apple).  Given how my previous set...

When You Can’t Hide Anymore (2022)

Posted on by Mork
Started in October 2022, as I prepare to take 2 months out of work.....thought it's about time I got the old fingers moving again and tried to record some new music.  This took a few years in total, as once I got working again.....well, simply wasn't the time.  In fact, finally really got...

Lockdown (EP)

Posted on by Mork
Lockdown was a small collection of songs I managed to put together during that insanely odd and exceptional time we all lived through in 2020. I started out with the intent of a full ten song collection, but it never really happened. I quite like the three songs (the title track of course, ended...

Inside the Outside

Posted on by Mork
Inside the Outside was started in Summer 2017, but dragged on for few years.  Call it 'musicians block' but life did take a few more curve balls, and actually, i was out enjoying it a lot more. In Spring 2020, I decided with 'Lockdown' to end this collection - my sound's moved on, my style...

Haunted

Posted on by Mork
Haunted was the longest I have taken to complete a set of songs to date - lots of changes and other interesting things going on in life, let this take more time and be more relaxed.  Some cool tracks on here, and some others not so hot - and I was never quite happy with the sound I was getting...

Take What You Need

Posted on by Mork
This collection of songs started into 2015, following a 6 month hiatus, and took over 12 months to complete, which is unusually long (considering I usually do two sets of 10 a year).  "Take What You Need" was created during a fairly miserable point during huge change and upheaval in my personal...

Night and Day

Posted on by Mork
"Night and Day" is a new collection of songs started in December 2014.  Though I am just starting out, I am keen to do something harder and a bit rockier than some of the melancholic sounds of the past few songs - more upbeat and maybe even simpler constructions.  At least, that's what...

Passing On Something Special

Posted on by Mork
Passing on Something Special was completed in November 2014.  This was my 17th "album" in 8 years, which is both gratifying and slightly depressing. Middle age blues I guess.  This album has a much more gritty sound using my ESP and Digitech effects rack for the primary sounds, with only...

Breaking A Promise

Posted on by Mork
Breaking A Promise was my first collection for 2014.  Planned to go for a harder edgier sound, with a new Rhythm Guitar setup, but of course, with lots of melodic lead overlays.  Unlike every other album so far, has two covers included, both soft rock 80's hits, because that's where my head was...

A Friend Wears A Smile

Posted on by Mork
A Friend Wears A Smile was completed in April 2014 - after a hiatus of nearly 6 months following a breakdown in my studio which took a while to repair.  My favourite track on this collection is "Facing Down The Sun", whilst the cover suggested to me in March 2014 of Bon Jovi's "Blood on Blood"...

Cover This…

Posted on by Mork
I've decided to create a seperate collection for all the cover's I've created over the past 9 years.   I started a personal tradition of completing 1 cover for every 10 songs - it started off as an excercise to deal with "writers block", and has helped at various periods to "get me back...

Two Worlds

Posted on by Mork
Two Worlds was completed in January 2016.  It contains a couple of absolute favourites of mine, notably "My Diamond Queen".   The cover of Dream Theater's 'Surrounded' is also a good listen.

Leap of Faith (2013)

Posted on by Mork
Leap of Faith was completed in the final quarter of 2012, with the final song coming on January 6th 2013.  It was intended to be a real progressive/metal sounding collection, with a lot of inspiration drawn from old style Dream Theater.   In theory it started with a kind of "concept" story, but...

One Unusual Suspect

Posted on by Mork
"One Unusual Suspect" is my 12th collection of songs, and was started on the 10th June 2012. It will be the first set completed entirely with my 2008 Les Paul Standard, and befitting that, it's got a whole new studio setup prepared - hopefully the sound "sounds" wider, cleaner and has a higher...

The Third Floor (2012)

Posted on by Mork
"The Third Floor" will be my eleventh album, making it 90 original songs and 10 cover's over 4 years - which is quite some output. Whilst I'm quite proud of some of my work, I want to try and evolve my sound with the eleventh album, and so have spent the weekend doing some preparation in terms of...

Perspective (2011)

Posted on by Mork
Perspective is my second collection of songs for 2011, started in early September after a few months listening around for fresh ideas.  I started off with "Making Me, Like You", for which I also came up with some excellent cover art (check it out.....)  - but decided it wasn't the best...

Tears To Distraction (2011)

Posted on by Mork
Tears to Distraction was the first collection produced entirely in Logic Pro, moving from Garageband which I'd used for all my previous recording work.  I'd actually had Logic setup for a year or so previously, but quite frankly, had never really got to grips with it well enough to make the...

Pressure (2010)

Posted on by Mork
Pressure (2010) seemed to take an age to complete- but in the end I was quite pleased with it - particularly "Surface Detail" and "Elusive" which have quite a complex sound to them.  Meanwhilst, "Song of Susannah" was quite a departure for me, with almost a "Meatloaf"-esque sound (to be...

Tortured Soul (2010)

Posted on by Mork
Tortured Soul was the name of a band I was in as a schoolboy, that never really took off, but for which, I had great ambitions :) This is still I believe, one of my most accomplished works - the song writing seemed to come so easy, and some of the songs just seemed to flow so naturally - I still...

Distant Journey (2009)

Posted on by Mork
Distant Journey was completed 14th February 2010.  The intention of this collection is a progressive rock/metal extravaganza, with absolutely no compromise.  The first song, produced in late 2009, is a real synth and guitar lead overload track - complex, intricate, fusion, jazz, metal,...

Edge Of The World (2008)

Posted on by Mork
Edge Of the World was completed in 2008 - My favourite track on this collection is "My Naked God" which is a fast moving rock track, with a nice harmony.  The overall sound is fairly similar to "Many Ways To Be" so far, the only significant difference being a use of a number of new drum...

Many Ways To Be (2008)

Posted on by Mork
Many Ways To Be - Everything seemed to really fall together well, from the outset with My Many Ways To Be, to the conceptual "serial" of Violently Blue and The Lives I Have Lived then the upbeat rocker in Rollercoaster. I started to use twin lead harmonies strongly...

Inversions (2008)

Posted on by Mork
Inversions began in early 2008, and was completed quickly.   I really started to branch out trying a variety of different styles - with a particular focus on Progressive Rock styles such as those of "Dream Theater", one of my favourite bands.  Inversions worked out really well, with some...

A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007)

Posted on by Mork
This was my second collection of songs, and was completed later in 2007 - all 9 original titles were written and recorded that year, with 1 cover song as was to become my norm.  This was the first album to start I think, showing "my sound" and "my style".  A Thousand Splendid Suns took it's...

Never A Truer Word (2007)

Posted on by Mork
Never A Truer Word was my first collection of songs produced reasonably professionally.  Many of the songs were written between 1989 and 1996, by myself, for a variety of school and student bands of which I was a member.  This was the first time any of them had been recorded properly however,...
