Fluid Architecture

RAY RUSSELL "Six In – Six Out" from "Fluid Architecture" (Cuneiform Records)

I'm a Brit, but I've lived and played in a town on the eastern edge of Paris for more than thirty years.

I use Cubase and a frightening array of software synthesizers (mainly Korg and Arturia remakes). I am a rather poor keyboard player, particularly now that arthritis is starting to affect my hands, so I am a firm believer in using software to correct it ;-). 

I used to use a Roland E70, Kawai K4 and Kawai K1, all from the late 80s or early 90s to produce Generative Music, sometimes with the help of a fantastic software tool called Noatikl. Much of the older music here was made with it.

I also play synth bass in a clandestine 'Canterbury Music" covers band , doing mainly stuff by Hatfield and The North, Soft Machine, Caravan, National Health and Matching Mole, with a sprinkling of King Crimson thrown in.

Other influences include Gong, XTC, Forgas Band Phenomena and a special mention for Ghost Rhythms, as well as others too numerous to mention... Thanks to them all.

I am also proud to be an amateur musician. I only do it for the music ;-)
