Happy New Year! I hope that your festive periods have been great, and that you have nice plans lined up for this coming year! In quick reflection, I'd say I've had quite the busy year last year, and my sporadically inconsistent posts are no doubt a clear example of that. BUT! It hasn't all been a bad kind of busy; the majority of my busyness involved many good things indeed! Lockdown had loosened off for a while, and my various partners in creativity earned some well-deserved life upgrades resulting in more time for our other projects behind the scenes (at the cost of my own personal solo work), though, I'd rather be busy with bigger, better and collaborative stuff and will accept said sacrifice happily! Like each New Year, it's all about the bigger picture for me. It always was, and it always will be. Which can make it feel quite tough or daunting, but progress always surfaces making me a lot happier about it in the end! I've shared SOME pictures from the highlight in this post, along with the release of another remaster of an older track of mine (so I'm not leaving TOO empty handed!) Which I shall link below; ( https://soundcloud.com/greavor/glory ) *I'm still aware links don't work in captions here, but you'll find the working link in my bio and linktree, and so on!* The pictures here, are basically all from my long weekend in London (discluding the last 3) with @barbells.and.beats to see our usually-annual concert for the first time in two years since lockdown began and before events got cancelled or postponed. The second and third last pictures are from a follow up concert we seen and had to rush for the moment we got off our train back home in Scotland, due to it being another event that we had forgot about booking that had been postponed also. It was to see a seemingly unnamed orchestra that played music from The Hobbit, Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings. The whole last minute thing made for quite an amusing story, but nonetheless, we made it in the nick of time and it, along with the main concert in London beforehand, were absolutely fantastic JUST like our time away in the city! The last picture is of me at Christmas, and you're welcome for it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYVF3SPKc09/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ahoy Therr! Tis I, again! It's been a while... Gonna be straight up and say this post is late! 3 months, in fact. I wanted to share it for a while, but reasons happened... Anyway, I like to think you've all enjoyed the summertime weather we had! (At least those who share a hemisphere with me), because I know l did! Now, the nights ARE coming in fast, but with lockdown a little loosened, so far, I've been getting into a new swing of rehearsing, songwriting and other musical endeavours! This time, (well, 3 months ago), I have a lovely upbeat track uploaded for any who haven't yet, should you wish to check it out! Tis a little Bossanova inspired piece! Trying to keep positive, I hope it hits (and so far, it seems to HAVE hit!) A nice vibe for anyone, everyone and especially those who have plans to travel again! Here's the track; { https://SoundCloud.com/greavor/sun } It's also in my bio and such (as of this post for now!) The rather nautical pics with this post are from various adventures I've been on in the past! Taken in places such as St. Andrews, Scotland, Hartlepool & The City of York, England... And last, but not least; Poreç, in Croatia! Enjoy the song, and the photo dump! I'm sure there's more to come! https://www.instagram.com/p/CVSNoUWKUP_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Oh hey, here's a really old picture of me, looking totally beat after one of my many favourite hikes from back in the day! (Of which the following pics are taken from). The reason I bring this up, is because I found an old song from 3-ish years ago, that I finally finished! It contains some live acoustic guitar and bouzouki, played by yours truly! So before I ramble on about the photos, here is the song; { https://soundcloud.com/greavor/hunting } SO, Whilst looking for some thumbnail photos for this track, I came across an extremely nostalgic and badly-organised folder of the MANY hikes myself and a couple of my friends used to frequently go on. (Weekly, in fact)! The ones I chose to post here, however, were some of my favourites that I felt quite suited the theme and title of my new track! They are my own photos, taken at the Lake District, Kippford and Yorkshire. I miss these long-distance adventures and can't wait to get back on them again! Anyway, I hope you like the track, and perhaps I'll post some more of my past photos in the future? Maybe we'll see! For now, however, Take care, and enjoy! <3 #music #composer #musician #producer #guitar #bouzouki #hiking #skaisoldestdad #photography #yorkshire #kippford #lakedistrict #soundcloud #reverbnation #newgrounds #lettherebemusic #staysafe https://www.instagram.com/p/CLoHYhoBPjP/?igshid=qejxhb73tzmb

Merry Christmas and Christmas Eve and Happy Santatime from Myself, Lil' Vaanta Claus (Picture 2 & 3) and Angelfairy (Picture 4 & 5){named perfectly by my sister, @catherineclipstone ) I really hope you all make the most of what you possibly, safely and, weird to say but, "legally" can during this time. It's been a rough year, with this beautiful time for friends and family being left to so much uncertainty... SO, do us all a solid, and have an exceptional time; eat lots of food, watch all the Christmas movies, and play all the games and so on and so on! I do wish you all the best, hoping you are gunna be cosy and warm (and well fed), and that 2021is a lot better! I know I'm optimistic! <3 Until next time, have a fantastic family and friends time with festive feasts of fun and frolic! I love you all <3 ...and yes, I haven't forgotten my usual wintertime composition!; { https://soundcloud.com/greavor/palace } { https://linktr.ee/greavor } #music #composer #musician #producer #christmas #christmas2020 #xmas #xmas2020 #winter #soundcloud #reverbnation #skaisoldestdad #lettherebemusic #staysafe https://www.instagram.com/p/CJK71pih5t3/?igshid=19ntcja89qzdv

Here's a quick wee unexpected and unplanned post about another hellova something that just happened! I took part in another one of those music contests! I can't honestly fathom it still, BUT, it appears I may have won again! I'm surprised though, as the other submissions were the best of all the competition entries I've heard (albeit in only two that I have thus far taken part in), and there was way more competition this time round! I was up against some seriously unbelievable producers! I'll link my track, and if you check it out and read the description on SoundCloud, you'll find more information about this contest, as well as links to the other contestants entries as well, if and when they upload them!: https://Soundcloud.com/greavor/dark-eyes This competition was a really wacky one, but great fun nonetheless! I made sure to go for a Comedically Dark composition, and had to take it too far and make it a club banger. Obviously. So enjoy! The first picture was taken by the competition host per my request, and I made sure to get my good friend @chesskadoodles on the last two edits, and she couldn't have done a better job to match the theme....😜 As per always, you'll find my various platforms and such in my IG bio! (Every upload and song I make or take part in will be linked accordingly on linktree too)! #music #producer #composer #dj #lettherebemusic #contest #psychopalooza #psychonaudia #scottishproducer #skaisoldestdad #staysafe #furby https://www.instagram.com/p/CJAZezUB1jx/?igshid=1jdmvie1ztdqg
