Still on the Internet, Still a Nobody
Hi there, I hope you’re all looking forward to the weekend, which would be the perfect time to enjoy my new musical release.
Because today is Bandcamp Friday, the one day each month when all proceeds from music sales on the site go straight to the artists with no admin fees.
Check out the sonic maximalism of String Virus via the player below and grab yourself a very reasonably priced copy to keep and play whenever you like.
Stay tuned for more music in the not too distant future
Rhonda and I went for a walk around Arlington Court in Devon yesterday, as part of The Cosmic Photo Challenge; taking time to explore the house for the first time, as well as the gardens I’ve visited many times before.
Hello there, I’ve just dropped in to let you know about another new musical release, this one a two track EP of extended modular synth pieces.
Not only can you listen to and purchase my two latest compositions via the embedded player below, but you can watch the accompanying videos here, too.
Enjoy the full audio visual experience and don’t forget you can check out the rest of my music on my Bandcamp profile
Good evening, I hope your week is going well, I’m here to announce the release of my latest collection of musical projects; Synth Asylum.
Over the last few months I have been getting to grips with some new synths and sequencers, while expanding my music production techniques and exploring ever more peculiar sounds.
But in a good way, obviously.
So here it is, play for free via the embedded player below, or purchase the album or any individual tracks at my Bandcamp profile.
Also, here are some videos which I made to accompany tracks on the album.
Have a great Christmas and a fabulous New Year.
I have been Facebook friends with Gareth J Farmer, aka Carbonates On Mars for years, but it’s only since I started experimenting with more peaceful, ambient music that it occurred to me we should work together.
Gareth is a veteran at making the kind of minimal, delicate and, above all quiet music I rarely have the patience for. So collaborating with him on these new pieces has been an interesting exercise in musical restraint and subtlety for me.
First here’s my remix of Carbonates On Mars’ Space Fields…
…followed by a second mix we called Entering Mechanical Worlds
Our third cooperative composition is this spacey soundscape, Graviton Waves
And finally, one of mine, At The Event Horizon
Hi there, it’s time once again to update you on the recent highlights of my musical ouvre, accompanied by the usual mind-bending videos.
First up, a down tempo ambient soundscape called 16.666%
The next one is equally ethereal, but more organic, as suggested by the title; Autumnal Ambient 1612.
Switching gears now, it’s remix time; with a completely bonkers rework of Westbam‘s version of …And More by Krautrock godfathers CAN.
After all that insanity, let the warm, soothing tones of my modular synth mesmerise you, with the first of two new compositions, Quantum Dots.
More trance-like multimedia immersion now, with the punningly titled πano
And bringing us right up to date, here are a trio of tracks from this weekend, starting with a satisfyingly squelchy drone, called Amorphous 0049
Then we go in the opposite direction, featuring more percussion than anyone could sensibly need in one track, this is Minimal Blip.
And finally, here’s my ’80s Garage Meltdown Mix a big, bouncy burst of electropop nostalgia; ’80s inspired synths and drum machines, with added garage beats and strange glitching noises.
I hope you found something to entertain you amongst that collection, check out my Bandcamp page for previous releases and stay tuned for more new material soon…
For my latest audio visual project, I have been taking words out of other people’s mouths and using them as integral components of my compositions, even if they’re not entirely intelligible.
I began with vocal samples of notable cult figures that I isolated from YouTube videos; Philip K Dick, David Lynch, Timothy Leary and Alan Ginsberg, which I then treated with effects and built the music round them.
Here’s Philip K Dick talking about the concept of living in “The Matrix”, long before Neo met Agent Smith in the movie.
Next up, David Lynch explaining Transcendental Meditation via the humble donut.
And now a potted history of LSD, with ’60s counterculture heroes, Leary and Ginsberg
Once I got the hang of this new ouvre, I requested volunteers from the many writers and poets on my social media feeds, hoping they could record some original material to further inspire me.
The first to offer his services was Al Jagiello from Chicago, who sent me some clips from his podcast, “Population”, which I turned into this jolly little number; Katz & Dogz.
There will be more where that came from, I can assure you.
Watch this space…
Yes, it’s time for more strange electronic noises, created in my garden studio (oh alright, in the shed) over the bank holiday weekend.
This new release is a single extended piece, which took two days to produce and continues my recent run of slightly more chilled out, atmospheric sounds.
As usual you can listen for free via the embedded player below, or purchase the track for yourself on my Bandcamp page.
I hope you enjoy Project Atlantis.
After yesterday’s trio of Bandcamp mixes, here’s a YouTube exclusive; the latest of my unpigeonholeable electronica epics, this one is called Return Of The Malevolent Seven.
Enjoy.
Hello there, it’s time for another burst of musical creativity, this time in the form of some upbeat, reggae and dub-themed dance mixes I’ve called the Psonic Psunshine EP, I hope you enjoy it.
As usual you can listen for free via the embedded player below, or hop over to my Bandcamp page if you’d like to buy these or any of my other music to play at your leisure forever.
