Heart at Sea
Heart at Sea is New Age Sleep Music. Therefore please play it softly and don't go expecting drums, rousing choruses, or MIDI orchestras hammering away. The progression of tracks is deliberately set to help allow for a more restful state. Perhaps don't operate machinery - I only say that to cover myself as in no … Continue reading Heart at Sea
The Eternal Eternity of Mechanism
The Eternal Eternity of Mechanism was very much a case of art imitating life. The story started as a generic man vs machine thing but it morphed into being a lot more personal. I was thinking about how much music has become trapped within the grid of fear, as expressed through an obsession with making … Continue reading The Eternal Eternity of Mechanism

Midsummer Night Dancers alt cover I wanted a Victorian-style painting for the cover to portray the undertone … Continue reading Midsummer Night Dancers
Beauty of the Darkness
Beauty of the Darkness is an album that sat on my drive for over four months as I waited on something that in the end did not happen. I have to assume that the album itself was not ready.

Many Moons – music for unpopular arcade games
Many Moons was deliberately written to be relatively simple music, with a strong emphasis on being very "classic" electronic. As I was busy doing a lot of review work at this time, my time was limited. I was using some of these pieces for demonstration of the synths or DAWs I was reviewing. If you … Continue reading Many Moons – music for unpopular arcade games

Travel Without Movement happens to be my 100th Published Project (album, film, etc). It also happens to be the first time that I have worked with more than one person to bring the whole project together and the first time that I have worked with a guitarist in my own studio! Guest Artists Jake Cropley: … Continue reading Travel Without Movement
Befell – stories from before
Befell started with the working name "before" as they were stories from before us: before clearly recorded history. Many loosely cover Old Testament era stories. The idea is not to be religious in any way but just to carry some of the feeling of those stories that resonate down through the ages, despite not really … Continue reading Befell – stories from before
