famously anonymous

..after some deliberation i've added the track "infinite pulse". this piece is one of 3 that i was asked to compose to accompany a home water birthing. the pieces i did were only written after consultations with the expectant mother (and father). the 3 pieces were played all day, throughout the labour, on rotation, and the baby, molly rose, was born peacefully, without tears or screams (from the mother or baby), without the need for intervention by the midwife or attending nurse, delivered by he… Continue

just for fun, i've uploaded a track i did today (05/08/2009), which was written for a friend of mine to put on their i-pod to accompany them whilst out jogging. of course they have many other tracks on the i-pod, not just this one, that would be insanity, obviously ;-) it's not my normal thing at all, and probably 7 and a half mins too long ;-) i had fun doing it though, and that's the main thing. i'll probably remove it in a day or so..
cheers

...i've posted 3 tracks, which i did back in february of 2008. 2 of which i don't really remember doing. they are all unfinished, rough mixes, warts and all :- "closure" features some vocal samples from the voice track Saskia Dommisse sent me for "not lost - forgotten". "after thought" is kind of the progenitor for the track "precognition", and a much more "ambient", or softer, less brutal mix of "do loop". there are other tracks which didn't make the cut for "is", or were being developed around… Continue

- hmm.. i've posted a really old piece of mine - arcadia - recorded in 2000. it was at a time when i was doing very repetetive and long pieces (this is an 8 minute edit - the full thing runs to a mind-numbing (but that was the idea) 74 minutes.). it was primarily designed as a "sleep" piece, with the main repetitions of bog standard off-the-shelf bird song samples, and, yes, a couple of Synth sounds (wash my mouth out!) based around my own breathing and resting heart rate patterns - a formula i… Continue

i've added A Prayer For Living Beings. it's a collaboration i did with a poet from estonia (eastern europe) called ellom, whom i "met" via my myspace page. it was recorded a few months ago. it's probably, along with the other poetry piece i did for Sounds In Bloom, the most pure ambient track i'd done in a long long time. Dean Richards recorded the tibetan bowl samples for me in florida, - hence the birds singing in the background - and i edited them down here in the uk .. hope a few of you here… Continue
