Hey everyone, my name is Elliot.
I sing for Zelliack
I play bass and sing for Sky Eats Airplane
I play bass for Of Legends
I sing and play guitar for Of Man-Not Of Machine (OMNOM)
I sing for Good Tiger

I'm not a professional, you can probably tell, and self finance everything I do. It's a true labor of love. So I need all the support I can get.

I produce neo-classical, progressive rock, ambient and anything else that sparks an emotional response... which is always my aim.

I play all the instruments, write and produce everything on a very limited budget. 

Distant Earth is a reference to one of my greatest loves, Arthur C Clarke… these are the songs of Distant Earth. Hope you like them.




Hi all,
I just play by ear ... guitar and synths, occasionally attempting a vocal ... making recordings just for the sheer enjoyment that making music gives you.
All the tracks here were recorded & mixed using GarageBand, but I'm slowly exploring Logic Pro X ... so hope to improve the quality of recordings over time ;-)
SoundCloud's real strength I believe is it's loyal community of contributing musicians and I've been privileged to work with several of those fine musicians on many of the tracks here ... here are links to their SoundCloud pages which I hope you might find time to visit and check out their great music :

My main guitar is a 90's Fender USA Strat with Dave Gilmour pick-up set ... a Vintage Peter Green/Gary Moore 'Lemon Drop' Les Paul for those rich bluesy tones hopefully ... acoustic guitars are an Ovation Applause and a Lindo, both with an onboard tuner for open tunings.
Guitar amps are a Fender Cyber Deluxe and a little Vox Brian May 'Deacy Amp'.
Guitar pedals are Boss ME70 and a Yamaha Magic Stomp loaded up with Charlie Hall's 'Echoes Of The Past' Delays.
Onboard guitars/pedals in GarageBand and Logic accessed via an Apogee Gio pedalboard interface.
Synths used just lately are Roland Jupiter 50; Korg Kronos X; Korg Karma loaded up with Vintage Instruments and Karma Soundsets.
Korg X5D and EMU vintage Pro modules hooked up to the Jupiter and Kronos via midi and into Soundcraft analog mixer and into iMac via Roland Sonic Cell interface.
VSTs/Software: Arturia V2 complete and Arturia Analog Experience The Laboratory with Keyboard (main software controller); EWQL Complete Composers collection ... I'm a complete technophobe so it takes more of my time trying to learn the software than ever it does making music ... frustrating but at my age it ain't going to get any easier:) 
My musical preferences and influences cover a whole range of genres ... so hope you'll find something to enjoy. I always appreciate any comments or feedback, if you have the time ... it's all good fun ;-)

Peace ... Graham :-)

Seventh Stage is a solo project from Quebec City, Canada. 

Occasionally the grey matter is awakened and an idea/composition is formed from a basic rhythm, riff or chord progression. Is it good; is it bad, does it have any merit, should it reach a wider audience; who knows? (Your comments are most appreciated).

My musical influences are varied as I can appreciate most, from Debussy to Zappa, Hooker to Rozsa albeit, I guess my greatest influences are guitarists (the usual: Clapton, Hendrix, Santana, Green, Beck, Satriani).

Since discovering Soundcloud, I've find it's a tremendous inspirational community of gifted, humorous, sincere people with a common language...There's hope for us all!

Soundcloud has provided an outlet for all who aspire to share their music, at whatever level. Maybe it's not too late... we can still dream.

If you enjoy my style of playing, maybe we could collaborate. 

Thanks for listening and Best Wishes for 2013, Dek.
