I'm Neil and this is a wee website to gather together some of the various creative projects I've done over the years. Partly it's an archive and partly it's a live works-in-progress type blog thingy.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, the title is a Mackem / Pitmatic rendering of "home-made in Sunderland"
It's a good few years since I've done any web-coding and I'm very rusty so it's likely to take a while to get this all sorted out. Plus there's quite a lot of material to be added, so please bear with 's....
10/8/26:- This should keep me busy...
This most recent musical project I've been working on is starting to balloon. Originally I was intending to do a pop EP, but I kind of lost interest in that idea after finishing one song. Right now though, I'm looking at escalating this to a full-length LP: at least 10 and maybe 12 tracks. Including the one I wrote for the Mutant Breakz #17 tournament, I now have three songs finished. And then last week I had one of those awkward mornings at work when I just kept coming up with song ideas and somehow had to remember them all while I was on the factory floor until I could go for my break and make some hastily scribbled notes on a bit of paper towel. I came up with a few lines of lyrics for one song, plus ideas and titles for two other tracks and a title and rough concept for the album: it's going to be called "45". In addition to another song I already started (which I've now decided to re-do from scratch, but I can likely still use what I had for the first draft for summat else), this is adding up to 7-8 tracks, and I'm confident I can do more. Apart from the Dem13 album, Rot, I haven't done a full LP for donkey's years. (Although the Feral Microbes record came close at 9 tracks.) And I'm just really in the mood for doing an album. I don't know how long it's likely to take. I don't really want to hurry it, but the title concept relates to my age so I suppose I should aim to get it done before my next birthday.
