Lonely Animals

By this time I had started to develop some friendships with other musicians in online music forums. This helped me to feel that my music had greater relevance. I felt that this album came out well overall. In hindsight, though I am not so convinced as it feels more like frustration in sound to me … Continue reading Lonely Animals

After Hours

I won't pretend this is my best album. It is perhaps interesting, particularly seeing as all the pieces feel like scraps floating in a dark well. There are some intersting textures in here. After Hours - original cover This is the street I lived in at the time in the suburb of New Farm, Brisbane … Continue reading After Hours

New Growths

The New Growths album was so named because I could feel myself coming back from the lost place of the last few years/albums. It isn't my best album I'm sure but I was enjoying composing again. I had switched to an up and coming developer's software. Really it was only half finished but his simplicity … Continue reading New Growths

Breaks Between Pauses

2004 - album as Benedict Roff-Marsh The music from this album is almost entirely lost to a failing CD burn. Only one track was able to be rescued. The cover was also not meant to be pink but that was the only toner left willing to print. Musically I think the title and the fact … Continue reading Breaks Between Pauses

The New Space Album

2004 - album as Benedict Roff-Marsh This is where I decided that I was going wrong in my composing. I was working away but not getting the results I wanted. Hardware synthesizers, by their very nature, are limited by being physical and for all those years of using them we all felt annoyed that the … Continue reading The New Space Album

321

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

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
