Tony Brown

A bit about me

Well, I'm Tony Brown, carbon-based and from Stockport in Cheshire, although somehow I've spent half my life in Swindon.

I'm currently working on a "solo album" of er, prog-pop, which I hope to finish sometime this year. Previous to this I was in the band Starless, which you can read all about elsewhere on this site (which I really do plan to redesign at some point).

The big news is that I'm "appearing" at the Geekpop 2011 on-line festival (thanks for having me, Geeks!)

I suppose you should have found all of this on a social-networking site of some description or other, but I do all of my that sort of thing down the pub instead. Should you ever be near the Castle in Swindon, do pop in.

Here's some songs about science

The first two songs are from the forthcoming album; the last two are from the Starless archive.

• (she does) Big Science
  ...a hypothetical song about stepping out with a particle physicist. Not finished yet, as I couldn't get my stuff to record audio without it sounding like Sparky's magic piano. I've since RTFM, so fingers crossed.
  
  
• Scott's Fireflies
  ...a brief homage to Scott Carpenter, Mercury 7 pilot and the closest NASA got to putting a hippy into space. Transcripts from mission courtesy NASA.
  
  I expanded this for Geekpop 2011 into a thing called "Commander Carpenter and his flying machine (part three)". You can hear it in its entirity there, and listen to some other fab geeky stuff (not by me, which is a bonus) as well
  
  
• The Alabama Insert
  ..."angry atheist" rant mode about evolution denial
  
  
• Laika (revisited)
  ...inspired by the first dog in space, a song pondering the human condition
