about

The vocal sample in 'How glad they were' is my granny Betty who passed away a few years ago. This song is a way of remembering her at Christmas.

🥇This track was awarded first place in the synthsounds.holiday competition run by Electro FM (electrofm.bandcamp.com) which was a lovely start to the festive season.

🎄Merry Christmas to you and your kin

lyrics

Hear the reindeer in the distance
They heard the thunder of the reindeer hooves
Hooves coming nearer and nearer
How glad they were at the sound

How glad they were at the sound

At last the reindeer arrived
A message went out from the wireless station...

The reindeer has arrived
How glad they were
The reindeer has arrived
How glad they were at the sound

about

Xylander UK

I grew up on Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, Plaid and Autechre so those artists are part of my musical DNA. I make my own sample instruments from things like broken kalimbas, broken keyboards and cheap plastic kazoos.
