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

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
Other Places / Other Spaces
There is nothing remotely Pop about this record, it is 1 hour 20 mins long to start with, and the four pieces are all 20 mins long. This album is in great part about the artwork so I will pop the YouTube video above the Bandcamp audio. Set to full screen and quality to HD. … Continue reading Other Places / Other Spaces
Kitaro
Kitaro Just like I heard Vangelis on TV, I was introduced to Kitaro through his wonderful theme for the Silk Road series. I looked forward to the show as it took me to another place and time along with this wonderfully evocative music. It was only a few months ago that I actually purchased the … Continue reading Kitaro
Mountain & The Lowlands
2011 - album by Benedict Roff-Marsh Mountain & The Lowlands saw me return to the style of The Body Pool. I wanted an album that was a bit brighter and more New Age than Arcades. I had been listening to Kitaro's Silk Road which I had only just purchased and so much of what he … Continue reading Mountain & The Lowlands

The first album, Inland Sea, came as a surprise to me but I could never really let go of the style so kept revisiting, especially … Continue reading Sampler – Ages New
The Body Pool
2008 - album as Benedict Roff-Marsh I wasn't really working at this time. I felt that whatever I turned my hands to was going nowhere. Even my SynthStudio Packs had really come to their natural conclusion. I wanted to compose but was struggling with the technology again. I remembered the pleasure I had got from … Continue reading The Body Pool
Time River
1998 - album as Benedict I wanted to make something back in the style of Inland Sea only allow myself to seem a bit more overtly 'commercial' New Age and less 'dark'. I had also met a fellow who sent some of my music to a German Producer he knew who wanted to meet me with … Continue reading Time River
Series:1:2 / Choir
1994 - album+ as Benedict After Vision Of The Mystic I wanted to do more work in the Zen-style of letting things flow fast. The series pieces are a collection of short sound paintings that only took about a as long as the piece multiplied by the number of instruments. Editing and mixing was kept kept to … Continue reading Series:1:2 / Choir
Vision Of The Mystic
1994 - EP as Benedict I had become quite taken with Zen and Taoism at this time because of their simple yet accepting view of life. I felt that I wanted to play with some of those ideas in how I made music. Because I had almost always composed rigidly, either with a mouse to … Continue reading Vision Of The Mystic
