I wanted to do something different. This is what came out. I hope you enjoy it?

This track incorporates the simple opera singer from Fluffy Audio, a library that features the voice of the fantastic soprano,Ji Min Oh.

For Angel:

One of my favourite activities is to walk along the sea shore and watch the stars come out as the sun sets. This track is an attempt to capture the energy of the moment when suddenly our view extends out into the universe.

I love the sky around sunset. It's a magical time. This track attempts to describe the energy and beauty of this special part of the day!

For Jeff.

I think this is the best track that I've produced so far. It was really inspired by the experience of coming across people who are so full of love, courage and action that they inspire hope in others. I hope you enjoy it. (This is slightly revised and shorter version in better quality; the mix is has not been changed)

For Kuba.

I'm not quite sure how to categorise this music. Originally it was going to be Orchestral Trance but it took on a life of its own. This track is quite different from much of my earlier music: I've spent a lot more time focussing on sound design and this track is the result of that effort. Listening to it, I think that it would probably sound better if its structure was a bit simpler, but I've spent too much time on it for now and I want to move on. But I might return to it in the future.

It's the first in a series of planned tracks inspired by the beautiful sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean. just a few minutes from my home. All comments welcome!

An instrumental version of Beacons of Hope

The first track in a new project celebrating the best qualities in each of us. (This is a reissue to remove a few infelicitous seconds midway through the track!)

i think this is the best version of this track. It was inspired by images of firefighters, special military units and others -- including volunteers -- who've been fighting the forest fires in Tenerife and elsewhere. I, like many others, am grateful that in this world there are people who risk their lives in service to their communities. The singer is a software artifact, created and polished using several different programmes.

This is a track ispired by a picture of a fireman. This is an experimental version with lyrics, sung by my computer using three different bits of software in an attempt to mimic a human voice. I'm sure a real person could do better!
