Not Working But Dreaming : A Collection of Original Music

The music on this page is my own. I hesitate to call it original, some of it can seem a little derivative to my ears, but it is at least all my own work.

I work in Ableton Live and use the Ableton Suite collection of instruments together with my trusted Gibson 335, a Tanglewood Heritage Acoustic and an Ibanez Bass. I have an old British violin that sometimes makes its way out of the case but it's a rare occurrence.

Stylistically the music I've put here is varied. It is my intention as time goes on to organise things in such a way as to make some of the ideas more intelligible. First of all though I wish simply to get my music out into the world. I lay no claims to greatness but I would be very pleased if anything here gives pleasure to someone.

If you would wish to share your thoughts, or perhaps more importantly if you would like to collaborate please get in touch by leaving a comment or by sending me an email at nigelws@hotmail.co.uk. I am particularly challenged vocally (don't worry that's why all of the tracks posted here are intrumental); and I can struggle to be innovative with rhythm, most of the beats here are of the Ableton vanilla variety; any help in these or other areas would be very gratefully considered.


I live in York, England, UK; but the web is our oyster so we can party just about anywhere........

Album Number One

Still work in progress and some or all of this may or may not remain in the future.

Any comments would be very gratefully received. Constructive or otherwise.

Enjoy, or otherwise!





Thanks for listening.
