Girl in the Lane

The Steve Thompson Band Posted on August 8, 2013 by Steve ThompsonAugust 8, 2013

Just released the second track from my Places in Time album. With concept in 2007, first track in 2009 and second track in 2013 this is clearly a slow burner.

Abandoned Places

The Steve Thompson Band Posted on July 24, 2011 by Steve ThompsonJuly 24, 2011

One day I’ll finish my “Places in Time” project. Meanwhile I just found an older recording inspired by Henk van Rensbergen’s “Abandoned Places” Website. Henke kindly allowed me to use some of his evocative images to accompany my music for an exhibition in 2002.

The Still Man

The Steve Thompson Band Posted on September 21, 2010 by Steve ThompsonSeptember 21, 2010

It’s been a while but I’m trying to pick up my various experimental music projects and develop them further. About a year ago I started to produce a piece in Prato, Italy. I decided to call it “The Still Man”. It’s taken me until now to dust it off and upload it. It still needs to go through many iterations. You’ll hear a fountain in the square, a busy café and the Prato Cathedral bell.

Girl In The Lane

The Steve Thompson Band Posted on October 11, 2009 by Steve ThompsonOctober 11, 2009

Another work in progress. Destined for my Places in Time Album. Perhaps a strange track, I’m not even sure if it’s good or bad.

More about the Places In Time project HERE

It would be in the early 90’s Molly and me found ourselves in Derbyshire visiting Matlock Bath (Little Switzerland) and one day we set out to find Crich Tramway Museum. In those days I was not a driver so we got off the train at Whatstandwell and trekked for what seemed like hours. It was a beautiful day and at one point we had climbed so hight that as I looked down at the valley to the railway snaking through the rolling countryside, I felt that I was on the top of the world. Even the air seemed thinner.  For me this track evokes that feeling. Hope you like it. The (And Never Found) added to the title is artistic license. We did indeed find the museum but it took some doing. Mark my words, Peak District travel leaflets are prone to exaggeration. Remarkably I found a guys blog HERE – his pictures tell the same story as my music.

Places, first notes finally laid down after 2 years

The Steve Thompson Band Posted on September 1, 2009 by Steve ThompsonJune 5, 2016

Two years ago I contemplated a music project idea in a restaurant in
Tuscany https://steve-thompson.org.uk/places-in-time/

I’ve thought of it many times since but have still to lay down the
first track. At the weekend, I finally began. I awoke in the
Blackenrigg Hotel to one of my favourite views overlooking Ullswater
in the English Lakes. On listening back once home again I must say the
slow evolving chords do indeed evoke that scene. Lots more needed
before there is a full music collection. I hope the sound of the Duomo
bells tolling in Prato is still in my iPaq. (HP)

Places in Time

The Steve Thompson Band Posted on November 6, 2007 by Steve ThompsonJune 5, 2016

A couple of days ago I found myself on a quite Sunday evening in a restaurant in Prato, Tuscany. I was the only customer. There was some lovely ambient music playing and along with the red wine, subdued lighting and lovely surroundings I became very relaxed and began to contemplate a new music project.

It would be a collection of very laid back and relaxing music and I would try to evoke “places” in each of the pieces. I’ll pull together photographs of places I’d like to evoke though some of them may be drawn from memory. The images will not be used in the final pieces which will be audio only but I may record actual sound in some of these places to include in the audio.

There are many places that have left a lasting impression on me and I hope these will provide strong inspiration for new musical pieces. I was contemplating this morning calling the collection “Places” but then I recalled a story I’d related recently here I decided to call it “Places In Time”.
