05 Sanctuary II:Fujara I

This song features a very slow tempo (30 bpm) with a gentle and soothing sound.  I used a straight beat with even spaced and smooth notes to create a flowing sound.  There is repetition in song structure, chord progression, and with the notes placement on the beats. Three electric dulcimer tracks intertwined a descending bass line with an ascending melody creating a cool auditory experience. There are a variety of sounds and textures present  but it is not over whelming.  The song has an atmospheric and immersive feel due to Valhalla reverbs and generous panning of tracks in Logic Pro.

My primary focus on this song was to experiment with descending bass lines/ascending melody lines with my electric dulcimer.   Also, I continued my exploration of different chord progressions and used Curtis Jones's "High 51 Blues" chord progression.  Note that although the song has a traditional blues chord progression it's not a bluesy song as my intent was to create a unique ambient soundscape experience.

In listening to this track it reminded me of the tranquility of childhood kayaking in ocean bays.



Drifting in Clear Waters

My music is freely improvised, usually on VST synthesizers, sometimes fretless bass, guitar, occasionally electric viola or cello, with a variety of effects pedals. Solo music is performed live and recorded as 'FlownBlue'.  I am also in four improvising duos: 'Windfall Light' (with Jim Tetlow), 'Abstract Blue' (with Kevin Buckland), 'Light Fragments' (with Steve Escott), and Szukanie (with Michał Wojciechowski). I'm a member of the Quadelectronic improv group based in Leicester, UK. Duo music is all on Bandcamp - links below.
