2026 is the year I turn fifty.

Since creating OneChord, one thing that never really sat right with me was the Next Chord button.

When I launched OneChord last year, I was excited about the opportunity to create something that I could use in my music creative process, while also improving my guitar skills.

It’s coming up on six months since I created OneChord.

The wind did not merely blow at these heights; it shrieked, a choir of a thousand invisible demons clawing at the thick, laminated glass of the Hundred Dragons Heaven Elevator.

This melody has been lounging on my SSD for a few months now.

Another year, another Screamer!

I wanted to celebrate the birth of OneChord.click by creating my first ambient / drone track using a single chord as inspiration.

Learning the guitar is no overnight feat (I’ve been trying on and off for over 20 years now!).

It’s late.

As the hours turn to reward, as the sun’s rays start to wane, heat from the oven rises, carrying a message for all to savour.

Having walked my daughter to school for the past year, I can honestly say that we experienced something new and majestic every time we stepped out of the house.

Like many of my tracks, the inspiration for this one came during my morning walk across the meadow.

As the sun climbs over the horizon, enter the glade down by the river.

I really struggled to name and describe this “atrociously wicked” track. 😈 It’s ambient, Jim, but not as we know it.

With the phosphor beacon’s light dimming, the encroaching darkness felt strangely welcoming; lost, yet deeply at home in the shadows.

My mind is a blank canvas, devoid of any adventurous ideas, staring blankly at my laptop screen.

This one is a bit out there compared to my other tracks (déjà vu).

Sometimes you are just drawn to a moment.

This futuristic ambient track has an almost gravitational, magnetic feel to it.

The holidays are here and hopefully everything is slowing down for you, just as it should this time of year.

Looking outside my window as I produce this track, you wouldn’t think that we were only a few days away from the winter solstice.

‘Somewhere out there in the vastness of space, he waits.

“The air was crisp and still that morning.

Note: No cats were harmed in the making of this track!

This track was a real challenge to mix.

To be honest, this track feels like an ambient extension of my last track, Mr.

I started working on this track during the week that our hamster, Mr.

Everything feels so surreal this Halloween.

Over the past few years, I’ve made it a tradition to compose a Halloween track based on the chilling sound of my daughter’s scream (Hence the name).

Right now, this track perfectly expresses my current emotions.

I don’t recall where I first saw this book.

“As the sun sinks below the horizon, the meadow breathes a sigh of relief, filling the air with the soothing aroma of petrichor.

This track begins with a hint of Halloween, thanks to the distant bells (Elektron Digitone) and sinister bass.

This track is one of those get in, get out tracks.

“Summer is starting to fade, he can feel it in the air.

I spent the day at a lake recently that had spectacular clear blue water and an artificial beach.

“An animal with beautiful colours of some place magical with lots of flowers.”

This one is a semi-ambient tune that starts off low key and gradually cranks up the volume and intensity for a solid five minutes.

It’s difficult to put into words the mindset I had when I made this track.

There is no finish, no end, no completion.

I couldn’t put the guitar down after working on my latest track, so I thought I’d experiment with using it to create a track that radiates an upbeat summer mood.

I have a habit of strumming along to Bowie’s “Space Oddity” whenever I pick up the guitar, so it was only a matter of time before some of the melody found its way into one of my tracks.

“His torch flickered against the damp walls, casting eerie shadows that danced like spectres.

While I really love making ambient tunes, there’s something inside me that yearns for a pumping beat.

If you had read my previous post on Tarot, you’ll know that it was actually a Humble Bundle that got me hooked on esoterica.

There is a stillness here, a quiet so profound it seems to slow the passage of time itself.

This track is a fusion of ideas that started with a James Bond (Sir Roger Moore) style action ditty, blended with some driving rhythm, dark pads and 303 acid.
