Sorry that this batch of ten tracks has taken so long to create, but the move and work have had a major impact on my creative time.

There are two zip files, one for lower bitrate MP3s and the other for the rather better 320kbps files.

A little Aeolian mode piece made in between dusk and dawn, in the dark light. Made with four instances of Gaugear in Reaktor with some FabFilter added for good measure. I miss making music in the middle of the night.

This haunting and yet sublime piece of music by Sufjan Stevens is stretched and effected into over two hours of a quite ethereal noise.

Take some time out. Headphones on, 50% volume or maybe less. Drift off with it.

The sun is out and today feels altogether a brighter, more shimmering day than yesterday. My head sounds like this.

I miss my son when he’s not around. It’s tough dealing with his absence. This little piece reflects how I feel right now.

The tiniest snippet of a well known 1968 folk ballad is stretched out and tinkered with. Not v.long I know. More experimental than anything.

Who would have thought it? I add a new toy to my little music making set-up and I get the worse creative block in a year. :( I’ve been ill too, but only after a week of no output. Finally I have a small piece that I can put up. Maybe I can take some solace in the fact that it shouldn’t be so long again before I make something else? You can hear my first use of the Zoom H4n in this.

Sorry for the lack of sound.

Nothing I’ve made in the past week sounds right. I fear that there is an element of repetition in the methods, sounds and melodies I am using.

The Zoom H4n’s (my recent purchase) manual has been consumed and I shall attempt to press it into action.

Hope to have something new here soon.
