326 – Snowfall

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 07:45:40 +0000

My creative juices are not quite as flowing as they sometimes can be so in the early hours of the morning as a light flurry of snow was settling outside, I decided to try and make something generative in Ableton Live using a Max for Live step sequencer and its randomisation feature. Just like the individual snowflakes, as each note landed and was captured the overall piece seems to have a natural feel to it.

Hope you think so too?

324 – Darkling

It feels like a slow start to 2012 and I need the light to improve and yearn for the daylight hours to be just a little brighter. The darkling is getting to me. Here’s how it sounds.

321 – A Song From 7.30 MHz

admin — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:46:41 +0000

Another experiment scanning the shortwave bands. Seeking out some odd melodic interlude and once captured, adding reverb and a few other effects and tricks to transform it into a sleepy, filtered soundscape, reminiscent of the imperfect signal, bandwidth and output of my little 1970′s transistor radio.

I love this type of sound and I hope you like this as much as I do?

Ambient Compilation 32

admin — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 08:43:05 +0000

Here is my thirty-second compilation for you all to (hopefully) enjoy.

Consider checking out all my releases on Bandcamp? You can grab pristine versions of most of my work so far and have a variety of formats to choose from. They are free to download, but if you can contribute a just couple of pounds/euro/dollars, it would help and delight me v.much.

Thanks for your support.

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

All of the tracks here are free for you to download and distribute.

311 to 320 – 96kbps – zip file (54Mb)

320 – Brume

admin — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 10:21:17 +0000

A long, slowly moving piece reflecting the heavy fog that hung in the air in the South-East of the UK earlier this week and thus, I fear, the imminent arrival of winter.

319 – Utah

admin — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 23:34:33 +0000

The final piece in this series of five. It’s an odd one though. Whilst not detached, it’s haunting, dissonant and unsettling. I visited the beaches, experienced a range of emotions and heard voices of every course. When we look at the world today with its economic and political turmoil, we must remember the losses suffered and rememeber that love and respect is the only way forward for us all.

318 – Sword

admin — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:10:28 +0000

The fourth of five pieces born out of my trip to Arromanches. I’m under the weather with a severe cold, so my ears are not great and I have particularly nasty tinnitus. That said, sometimes this makes a piece a little unique, despite its melodic simplicity.

313 – Light Up The Sky

admin — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 11:12:32 +0000

Yet another piece born from a period of awakening well before the dawn arrived.

It’s a soundtrack to rhythmically nurse you back to your dreams whilst you watch the moon and stars light up the sky outside your bedroom window.

Worked for me.
