325 – Alba

admin — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:53:28 +0000

Spurred on by yesterday’s little piece, I turned my attention to using a couple of single second samples of Judie Tzuke’s vocal, from the magical Stay With Me Till Dawn, to create a gentle lullaby soundscape. Made in the early hours, just before the sun came up.

All done in Ableton Live using multiple instances of Simpler and internal effects.

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)
311 to 320 – 320kbps – zip file (176MB)

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

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.

317 – Gold

The third piece reflecting the emotional impact of my vist to the Normandy beaches and Arromanches. Particularly poignant given tomorrow and Sunday’s moments of remembrance.
