Piano Man

I have recorded a song based on the story of the Piano Man - the man who turned up at a hospital claiming complete loss of memory but who could play the piano to concert standard. The piece mimics the feeling of loss as individual notes are picked out tentatively on my keyboard before changing into a more structured song with a spoken lyric recounting the man's story and finally the return of his memory. I love conceptual songs like this.

Unintelligible Design

Inspired by 'Dubya' endorsing Intelligent Design to write a short story from the dinosaurs' perspective - being popped into existence and then popped out by a fickle God who cannot decide what he actually wants in his new Eden. I think a comedy like this might be developed into a series for Radio 4. I would call it Unintelligible Design and it could feature someone like Stephen Fry as God.
