Travels in Digital Sands
If you like the music please purchase for $5 at Bandcamp. Your support is the only way I get to keep going. This album was done fairly quickly coming out of T.V. Treated. That period with all the tutorials and pieces that weren't mine (not to mention a film or two) was great in that … Continue reading Travels in Digital Sands
T.V. Treated – TV Themes given the Benedict Treatment
This is a bit of an exercise and not a serious album outing. I think the cover & pricing shows that. First up, the title is unashamedly lifted from the Neon Judgement track of the same name. Not related in any other way except that these are my treatments of some TV Theme tunes. I … Continue reading T.V. Treated – TV Themes given the Benedict Treatment
The Edge of Transmission II
https://youtu.be/CWStEYsKbrk Full Movie The original "The Edge of Transmission" album was released in the year 2000.

Plugged-In Bach – in Tribute to Wendy Carlos (and of course Bach)
Back to Bach Ask most Pop & Rock musicians about Classical music and they tend to pull faces (about the same faces that the Classical types pull when the question is the other way around). Adjust that Q and swap Classical for Bach and most - well the older ones anyway - will say, yeah … Continue reading Plugged-In Bach – in Tribute to Wendy Carlos (and of course Bach)
Two-Part Invention No. 1 – Bach
https://youtu.be/6bHHAMkmraU This is the last week of pre-release for "Plugged-In Bach". This time it is the first of the Two-Part Inventions. Bach was a teacher as well as a composer. This was common then for musicians, as it has become again. Most Indi musicians make more as teachers than they do as musicians. I learned … Continue reading Two-Part Invention No. 1 – Bach
Cantata No. 27 – Bach
https://youtu.be/e0YlIcuwV0s Week Three of the release of my "Plugged-In Bach" is the deep 'n' dark one of the bunch. Cleverly hidden in the middle so no one notices how broody & melancholy it is. This one was written for the church. Back when the church service was a big thing. I guess really this fills … Continue reading Cantata No. 27 – Bach
Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 – Bach
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEs27WC4_SA Week Two of my lead up to release of my "Plugged-In Bach" tribute to Wendy Carlos and her "Switched-On Bach" sees me attack a Brandenburg Concerto. Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048. I actually did the bulk of this work several years ago as a semi-tongue in cheek demo of sounds … Continue reading Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 – Bach
Toccata & Fugue in D Minor – Bach
https://youtu.be/ZHlRJxas8EY It was 50 years ago today (well almost) Wendy Carlos released what was to be for ages the best selling Classical record of all time called "Switched-On Bach". For a while, it was even outselling The Beatles! The Moog Modular was in its infancy. Wendy was pals with Bob Moog and they traded ideas … Continue reading Toccata & Fugue in D Minor – Bach
