It's Conspiracy theory rock! With a dash of supernatural themes and some Celtic influences. Oh, and some biker related songs.
My music is definitely not mainstream, so not everyone's cup of tea, I am into conspiracy theories, cryptids, UFO's, magic and myth, alternative energy, historical mysteries etc, etc. I feel these songs need other musicians to help bring them to life.
In the seventies I had a few bands during the post punk era, we used to play a mixture of Hawkwind, Pink Fairies and our own original material. Since then not much happened on the musical front, I was busy bringing up a family. In about 2012 I started making my own music on the computer. Although there has been a bit of input from my old bass player, Iain, we live a long way apart and organise this over the internet. The last eight albums are just me, my guitar and synths. I write my own material and have recorded 2 albums of songs in 2012/13, two in 2014, 3 albums in 2015, 1 in 2016, 1 in 2017 and 1 in 2018,10 in total not including the stuff I salvaged from tape from the 70's.
"Sineater" was the last name our band used in the late 70's. I am free of work commitments, having taken early retirement. I would be interested in any type of collaboration, but ideally would like to form a band. I am quite into some of the steam-punk ideas when it comes to making modern technology look Victorian, and build my own synthesizers & guitar effects units.

New Strings, Old Guitar
New Strings, Old Guitar Track number: 9 Year: 2020 Album: Old Times and New Genre: Alternative
It all started with Walter Gabriel's Hammer. Back in the day there was a radio programme called "the Archers". Walter Gabriel was a comical character, and one day he said "It's my old faithful hammer. It's had about 4 new handles and three new heads but it's still my old faithful hammer". It set me to thinking about how many of us change parts of our project car, motorcycle, guitar etc until nothing much original remains.

Blade Runner
Blade Runner Track number: 8 Year: 2020 Album: These Alien Lands Genre: Electronic
This song is about the 1982 film. It bombed at the box office but became a cult classic. Based on the 1968 Philip K Dick novel "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" it explores the moral dilemmas about artificial humans and their rights, or lack of them.

Night of the Demon
Night of the Demon Track number: 4 Year: 2020 Album: These Alien Lands Genre: Alternative
From the 1957 horror film "Night of the Demon", released in the US as "Curse of the Demon" and based on an M R James story from 1911 called "Casting the Runes". I was really impressed with the images in this old black and white movie, especially the materialization sequences. The last one where the demon manifests in front of the train is especially impressive.

Frankenstein's Monster
Frankenstein's Monster Track number: 9 Year: 2020 Album: These Alien Lands
About the book by Mary Shelley. Surprising those around her with her eloquence, Mary came out from under the shadow of her husband's fame with this amazing take on the ethics and morals of creating life. Most people think of Frankenstein as the botched together creature from the films, re-animated with electricity. Frankenstein was, of course, Victor Frankenstein the scientist. His creation had no name, and, it seems, no conscience. This raises all kinds of questions about nature versus nurture, which I am sure Mary Shelley was well aware of bearing in mind her own and her family's history. Mary named the story "Frankenstein, the new Prometheus" after the Greek god who created mankind out of clay. For stealing the gift of fire to give to them he was cursed to suffer forever, chained to a rock, while birds pecked out his liver. Each day the torment was repeated.

The Wild Hunt
The Wild Hunt Track number: 10 Year: 2020 Album: These Alien Lands Genre: Alternative
All over the world, tales of supernatural creatures flying across the sky persist. From Germanic countries with tales of Odin or the valkyries, to Ireland, Wales and Cornwall there are tales of phantom horses and hounds. Some involve Faerie races and others pagan deities. In America, the idea was applied to cowboys and cattle in the song "Ghost riders in the sky".
