Music and lyrics by Andrew Charman-Williams and Spiral Net

  • Third Steps

    Third Steps is an instrumental for felt piano and pipe organ that has strong influences from ambient music and post-minimalism. Keyboard sounds from Pianoteq 8 and Organteq 2.

  • Minor Moves

    Minor Moves is a laid-back instrumental for felt piano and cello that has influences from minimalism, ambient, film music and other styles/genres/approaches.

  • Rosella

    Rosella (or the Rosella Waltz) is just a gentle waltz recorded with 2 tenor guitar tracks and organ (using Organteq 2).

  • Cubic Triads

    Cubic Triads is just an exploration of a curiosity. I saw a video by ‪@12tone‬ explaining the music theory concept of Cube Dance by Jack Douthett. This explores that concept using just triads to move through the 12 major, 12 minor and 4 augmented triads. Moving between triads only one note changes by one semitone. Through the layering that occurs with organ stops these three notes are fleshed out to a fuller sound. Organteq 2 is used for the organ.

  • Droplets

    Droplets is a piece for high G ukulele.

  • Waiting (Twiddling Thumbs)

    Waiting (Twiddling Thumbs) is a piece for high G ukulele.

  • Reflections

    Reflections is a piece for classical guitar.

  • Wallaby in the Chook Pen

    Wallaby in the Chook Pen was written in response to a call for Tasmanian jigs for a collation by Steve Gadd. This is one of three tunes I contributed.
