Music

I'm very fortunate in being able to say my first job was making music. I did it full time from 1978 to 2000 when I started in academia. Since 2006 I've been back into it. Below are some recent highlights, mostly associated with, or flowing from, the 100 Songs/Indie 100 project which we began in 2011. There's also some albums I made with my wife, Naomi Sunderland, and long time band buddies.

Sultans 2: The Power Strikes Back

A soundtrack for the Hot Buttered movie composed, produced, arranged, and performed by Tim Gaze, Phil Graham and friends in 1991.

The tracks on this album were published by Warner-Chappel music and released on the UPUZE (pronouced "up youse!") label. The album and movie were initially released in 22 countries. The recordings were done between 1983 and 1990, although most of the album was recorded at Moore Park studios in a very short time during 1990 specifically for the film. The film and soundtrack were re-released by Hot Buttered in 2014.  

You can download the MP3 tracks below for nothing or send us an order for a CD copy of the whole thing for $20.00 Australian (about 8 pounds Sterling or $12.00 US or Euro).
