theremin ocean dreams - new ambient electronic release
My most ambient theremin "flights" album yet.
This is the “theremin-&-effects-only mix” of my Deep Ocean Dreams album, - the foundation tracks, recorded live in the studio. I have kept the track order the same. It's been a while since my last theremin based album Electric Skies, and I thought these sounded good, and different to theremin recordings I made before. Read more about the album HERE.

Audible Light release their 10th album "Distant" Unable to meet due to the pandemic, they each started recording a track at their home studio, then each track was passed digitally round the band til all had played on the 4 tracks. The result is a powerful album with resonant synthesizers, minimal music, and for the first time, Andy Atyeo's cello.

These pieces were recorded throughout the pandemic lockdown year made as submissions for the United Isolation Ensemble ( unitedisolationensemble.bandcamp.com ), where they were mixed with other artists to make ensemble pieces. I chose these
I was surprise listening back at the cohesive feeling on these tracks - a feeling of peaceful, if sometimes unearthly, isolation. I hope that peace communicates in the busy times ahead.
The album is currently on Bandcamp to stream, or download. - Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc will come soon.

modulight - ritual alchemy - new electronic duo album
Electronic Atmospheric Spacey Music New music from a new duo with Jez Creek (aka Modulator ESP). Jez has been a regular at Quadelectronic for years and runs The Church Of Sound in Nottingham where we have played a live set a few years ago.
WEe also both contriubute to United Isolation Ensemble ( unitedisolationensemble.bandcamp.com ), where some of our submissions were mixed together which gave us the idea of making this album.
I'm so glad we did as my waftings and Jez's electronic sounds go together seamlessly creating rich worlds of sound, which are a blend of ambient, space music and electronic music.
The album is currently on Bandcamp to stream, or download. - Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc will come soon.

Tokyo Trip - new album
A journey of music and Tokyo sounds. I took my sound recorder on my trip to Tokyo in late February, and during my time there gathered sounds as I travelled around the city. Over the last few months I've been blending the city sounds with music and made a journey in sound.
The music I made for it was a like film music and varied depending on the scene. Apart from a visit to a park it is mostly city sounds - trains, crowds, an elevator, a huge electrical store, and even a sushi bar.
The album is currently on Bandcamp to stream, or download.
Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc will come soon.
CDrs will be printed to order and purchased on the album web page
