Hi there. As I mentioned in my introduction I make music myself, and I am quite inspired by the avant garde aesthetic that is present throughout The Smile Sessions, but in general I am just really heavenly influenced by great 60s popular music composers/producers, including John Barry, Phil Spector and of course Brian Wilson, among many others. I'm currently working on my first full fledged album, "TOYS," which I hope to complete later this year.
Update: TOYS is now complete and available on Spotify/iTunes and most online music platforms.

https://soundcloud.com/timothy-mcgaw/sets/toysThe album includes thirteen songs/instrumentals in mono. It's probably best described as psychedelic art-rock, along similar lines to Smile. The songs centre on the theme of childhood dreams and memories, articulated through the use of musical toys in the arrangements, as well as through lyrical quotes of nursery rhymes and children's songs.
I hope you'll enjoy the album. Let me know what you think! Cheers!
