Red Roofs & Wishes

Red Roofs & Wishes is deliberately meant to sit outside of the usual expectations of how a modern record should sound. Spending my days making other people's records sound as expected can leave me wanting to reach outside of the usual. I know this will probably have many people assume that I simply got it … Continue reading Red Roofs & Wishes

Melting Machine – a sleep music album

Play it Quietly this is Sleep Music - not EDM Melting Machine was an album that wanted to be written but was not on my plans for right now. I was still working on my Goth record (working name Beauty of the Dark) but it had to be put on hold because I made an … Continue reading Melting Machine – a sleep music album

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

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!

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

Lying Back Looking Up

Lying Back Looking Up is a set of tracks based around the idea of lying on the ground and looking upwards at the world around. Much as in the same way Vah Gogh and many other Impressionist painters had of seeing the world in a dreamlike state. The pieces are daydreams. If you enjoy this … Continue reading Lying Back Looking Up

Weight of Memories

Weight of Memories refers to the way memories seem to gather and develop a kind of weight. Some memories lift us up, others drag us down. The album starts with the idea of a Zero Point of initial memories out of which repetition builds those feelings of weight. Musically I wanted everything to be simple … Continue reading Weight of Memories

Night Moon

Night Moon is a collection of four entirely synthesized environments backed by light-Techno (of the early 90s variety). The idea is that the pieces should be played quietly so the environment sounds are dominant over the music itself. You'll find where you like it. The pieces were put together very quickly. As such I don't … Continue reading Night Moon

Game Themes I

I Scored a series of games with a young developer called Aesc. He needed music & sound effects to complete his games. That is what I do. Aesc: https://aescosaurus.itch.io/Cover art by Jane Stockwell: https://janestockwell.com/ Something I hate when playing games is having a really short loop that goes over and over ad nauseam so I … Continue reading Game Themes I

Lands with Shawn Johnson

Shawn Johnson I roped in saxophonist Shawn Johnson to add his EWI playing to the main tracks "Trees" & "Night Crystals". I sent him the tracks and noted the main area where a part was needed. After that I was pretty open for him to do his thing. Shawn recorded 4-5 parts for each track … Continue reading Lands with Shawn Johnson
