Sensible Album

I had the great fortune of playing keyboards on Jon Hare's debut album across 2 separate weeks of recording at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales. Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody!), Coldplay, Oasis, George Michael, Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, and a whole host of musical icons have ventured there since the 60s to record their albums. I played a Nord Lead, a 1950s Hammond Organ and a Bosendorder Grand Piano. Jon Hare is a veritable games industry icon who designed games such as Wizball, Cannon Fodder and Sensible Soccer, I've been ever so lucky to have travelled all over Europe for the last decade playing his music first as a duo and now a full band at retro gaming events. His debut album is a labour of love, original songs intertwined with new recordings of tracks that featured on games.

The 8 piece band has now been recorded, now I'm working on the brass and orchestra!

Random photos and vids to follow…!

Here's a random snippet of a jam we had in the control room with Mark Knight on violin, Jon Hare on guitar and me on Keys inspired by a tango esque direction I suggested for one of the tracks.

And finally here's a clip of Filip recording an emotive lead guitar line for a certain well known track from Cannon Fodder.
