Grey Clouds Red Sky

This was my first solo record and I think I started writing it
in ealry 1990 and released it on my birthday in 1994. I was
living in Toronto at the time and released through my own
label Otisonics which was a part of the company that I
started when I opened a clothing store there in 1991.

A lot of it was recorded at my house in Devon and then
in my house in Toronto in the studio I had in the basement
so there was quite a lot of contrast between the two places
which I think led to some nice contrasts in the music.

Its all instrumental and all generated using midi, I have all
the midi files and I will make them available here as I did at
the time. The original packaging came with a floppy disc
with all the midi files from the album on it, I have continued
this approach by making Garage Band loops of all the songs
on my current albums.

So I recorded it all at home but mastered it at a studio called
Silver Birch in Toronto, I cant remember the guys name but
it was cool to be doing this for myself for the first time.

My friend Ian Wright conceived and designed the original
packaging but it was a bit over ambitious and I think we only
ever made 10 of these and even I dont have one. So
most copies were in jewel cases and then when I re released
it in 2005 I re designed the cover.
