Drifting ft Pascale Martini - Song Of The Twilight Zone
https://hearthis.at/11269230/
I'm at home looking through a stack of old gig posters when I spot the poster for the cancelled Prague ‘We Vote’ gig from 30 years before.
Was it 30 years to the day? Let's say it was, what are the chances!
As I'm wondering what ever became of Pascale I remember myself, as I sometimes have to, that the internet exists.
One search later we're back in touch and from her home in Zurich Pascale is asking if I'm still doing music?
I send her a couple of tracks I'm currently working on, one is an instrumental I'm calling ‘Folk Song of the Twilight Zone’.
To my surprise Pascale sends the track back with added singing, now you're talking.
After a bit of back and forth online we end up with 'Song of the Twilight Zone', the first in a series of songs they're calling ‘Drifting ft...’
As time goes on I've been able to call on various authors and singers to guest on Drifting ft... tracks.

Drifting ft Jeff Young - Ghost Cinemas
https://hearthis.at/13149141/
One time in The Grapes on Roscoe Street, I'm telling Jeff how much I enjoyed his latest BBC Radio play, or essay was it? I know it was set in the Walton area of Liverpool, childhood, a pub, a bedroom window, Elsie barmaid, mists of time.
The Futurist Cinema, Liverpool, a ghost in the machine.

Drifting ft Akiko Nakashima - Waking Up With The Sun [Remix 2026]
A torched song.
https://hearthis.at/13641569/
Akiko landed in Liverpool from Fukuoka, Japan in 2001.
She was here to study music at LIPA, she moved into a flat downstairs from mine.
I would sometimes hear her singing through the door as I passed on the stairs...
