2003 - albums as Benedict Roff-Marsh The 3 albums from 2003 are now completely lost. I have the CDs but they will not play much more than static. The music is unrecoverable. In some ways this makes me sad but I do have to be honest and admit that these albums weren't my best. I … Continue reading 321

I believe in Healthy Self-Interest. If everyone does what is rational, then success will be easier for all. Greed is the complete opposite of self-interest as it results in nothing but failure.
Born in Canada in 1969 to English parents. Moved back to England. Lived in Australia since 5 y.o.
Worked in Banking, Entertainment, Sales and Web. I always listen to and make music to keep myself on an even keel.
The End Of The Circuit
Sadly this CD is now effectively unreadable so the music has returned from whence it came. I knew that this was to be the last record I ever made with hardware synthesizers involved. I could see the time had come to switch to a fully software studio. Part of this was the march of technology … Continue reading The End Of The Circuit
Orbits Of Attraction
Continuing in the imagery of mythology and romance, only merged with my love of space (which is a strong part of the romance of Greek mythology). I think this made a good follow up to The Place Less Visited and completes an unintended trilogy started with Windows. Seasons Of Romance; the title alludes to several … Continue reading Orbits Of Attraction
The Place Less Visited
The place less visited in the title is the imagination. Sure well spend plenty of time there but mostly in the fear and worry part. We would be so much better if we could spend more of our time in the joy, wonder and positive sides of our imaginations. I still find this album to … Continue reading The Place Less Visited
Windows Open, Senses Tuned
I think some moments on this album are great and some just miss. I guess it is always the plight of the artist to never be happy with their work. Without intending to this album started a trilogy of records that all showed me indulging in a similar mood. I think this suited me as … Continue reading Windows Open, Senses Tuned
The Edge Of Transmission
Edge is the underbelly of my idyllic Virgo 12. If there is a place of beauty and sanctuary, there is always a place of last resort; the end of the railway line that glitters with false hope as someone once described Queensland's Gold Coast in being the destination of choice for runaway teens. Interestingly, 18 years later and I live … Continue reading The Edge Of Transmission
The Life Complex
2000 - album as Column 3-57 Front Cover I had been fascinated with the Hermetic Qabalah for some years. I never got all white-robed and candle-burning about it like some musicians a few years later. Being a bit logical, the system part of it appealed to me, I was fascinated in how it creates a metaphysical model of our psychology. … Continue reading The Life Complex
The Grand Journey Of Marco Polo
2000 - album as Benedict Roff-Marsh This is the first album to bear my full name. It was my Mother who finally persuaded me to release as my true name and not an alias. I was trying to top my Gods album, maybe I did or maybe I didn't. Either way the concept is just huge, so … Continue reading The Grand Journey Of Marco Polo
Gods Of The Desert
1999 - album as Column 3-57 In many ways this should have been a released under my full name but I hadn't quite gotten comfortable with just being me; old habits etc. Either way it was a major threshold/watershed album for me and it got me attention from people who would normally never listen to … Continue reading Gods Of The Desert
A Sea Called Solaris
1999 - data album as Column 3-57 The theme is taken from the novel Solaris by Stanisław Lem. Each of the pieces attempts to capture the emotions that are so well handled in the book (although not well in any of the English language film adaptations). Musically I composed this in the same manner as series:1:2 with most tracks made in … Continue reading A Sea Called Solaris
