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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s been a long while since anything vaguelly useable has eminated from my head. A dark few weeks of news hasn’t helped. The story of man’s ventures into space to visit Vesta did inspire this drone however.

A night of restless sleep and bewildering dreams led me to be fully awake at 6am. Rather than try in vain to return to sleep, I decided to revisit some Conet samples and took one from Disc 2 and made it into something resembling a ghostly brass & woodwind section playing a strange and haunting nocturnal soundscape. Not unlike the effect that these original broadcasts had on me, under the bed covers, late in the evening, as a young boy.
