A NEW WEBSITE

This is my first attempt at running a website.

Firstly the most important thing to say again,

is this :

I have made 150-plus albums on (yes the figure creeps up every few months :) 

thestephenjones.bandcamp.com

All recorded in the fourth bedroom/boxroom of my house, on a 20 year old black laptop, 45 quid keyboards and a 10 pound Tandy mic. Even the guitars barely have a string or two on them.

All made on GarageBand, under many AKAs and all the styles of music I love.

Secondly I am very happy you're here.

Thirdly I am sure you too have a very healthy love-tinged hatred of social media.

The necessary evil beast.

Though I am on it, TWITTER has never really worked for me. even so here here's my failed mistake @babybirdrip

I remember the day my ex-manager suggested I use it, over 10 years ago. A truck had just dumped a ton of logs on my path and left. It took me a week to wheelbarrow it all into the back garden woodshed. A fucking nightmare, but nothing compared to the unbridled joys of social media. Except of course, for wonderful tweets from celebrities plugging their new kids book.  

Instagram is so-so. I like the filters, cats and pictures of Yorkshire,  and that's about it. As long as I avoid the personal or obvious on there, it's bearable.

But my recommendation is definitely Babybird Official on Facebook - it is the most interactive.

Oh yes and sign upto follow bb on bandcamp. As well as here, that's the first place for news and album releases

Just cut and paste

And it will be here

My AKAs : 

BLACK REINDEER - loops/samples/orchestral

TRUCKER -                                   arpeggiated trucking music for your truck

ARTHRITIS KID -                       instrumental music of epic ascendancy

DELUDER -                                                 as close to disco as I get

JONES -                                              personal songs

BABYBIRD 

WAYZ 2 DIE - one off project of loops and weirdness

DEATH OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD - Initially a collaboration with Andy Turner of dance/hip hop innovator AIM.            THIRD album due January 2022

OUTSIDER -                                               DIY fantastically throwaway songs - simpler - more guitar 

APPLE ANDROID -                                      Epic and orchestral

THE FOETAL SPARROW -                       huge long pieces of music, based on the beautiful simplicity of music tangent from single notes and drones (not the ones that fly tiny phones in to prisons)

STEPHEN JONES -                                        have an aural butchers and tell me what you think it sounds like
