After realising a lifetime ambition to write and perform an album based on The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe in 2020/21 and releasing it as a digital download on Bandcamp. I've now realised another and mixed it in 5.1 surround and slightly remixed parts of the stereo version.
Now available from Bandcamp as a Physical CD/ 5.1 DVD as well. Apart from the music I also designed and laid out the artwork:

All beautifully replicated and printed by DB masters of Faversham.
I'm very pleased and proud of the end result.
This and my other digital albums on Bandcamp were kicked off after seeing Rob Reed perform at Peter Gabriel's Real World studios.
After years of drumming for other people and being unable to continue live playing due to a shoulder injury I decided it was time to fire up the computer and synths. See if I could learn to play guitar and get the ideas buzzing around my head into musical form.
12 albums later I don't seem to be able to stop!
This particular album is special for me though as it was an idea I'd had as an eight year old after reading the book to interpret it musically. Only took just over 50 years to get round to it :-)
As this October (2025) is 75 years since the book was published it seemed like the right time to do this properly. It's been approved for use of character names etc by the C.S Lewis organisation too.
Just need to get people to listen to it now :-)
Hopefully someone will be kind enough to review it here?
Thanks!!
