Glen Neff - Like A Child

Glen Neff - Journey Of The Clouds (Original Mix)

“Glen Neff’s approach to creating music, inspired by his experience as a visual artist and guided by improvisation, is a creative freedom and melodic and textural exploration that is undeniably captivating. Creating a mood is evocative, transporting the listener on a sonic journey rich in texture and emotion. ‘Take Me Home’ is a calm, chilling, melodic composition and offers an introspective journey through nature which is truly nourishing, a classical ambiance. 

 Neff’s more meditative music is included in two compilation release with the Monroe Institute. 

  “This is such an elegant display of improvisational prowess to create music that stirs emotions even without the words. The gentle melodies are so wholesome and allow a listener to escape into this peaceful space where they interact with quietude that only nature affords"

Take Me Home


"With an extra measure of jazz chops,Glen Neff is head and shoulders above the Budd/Eno clones in his sophisticated use of harmonics,rhythm's and synth voicings. His music is as adventurous and lively as much of that other stuff is predictable and cumbersome. Synthesist Neff is a true improvisor and a reflexive expert at reacting to himself on tape. This one-man interactivity is compelling in and of itself, but really counts are the basic building blocks of Neff's music- the notes themselves. Since the the compositions are initiated spontaneously and later embellished, the musical mind of the initiator had best be fertile. Tis'. Neff,to a degree, shows the results of a jazz background in his extemporaneous melodicism , but he hasn't got a bunch of rote bop licks to trot out. The innocence of his lines works extraordinarily well with the complexity of his construction. The more traditional textures , the ones to which words like "majestic" are usually applied are here made into something more substantial, thanks once again to Neff's melodic ingenuity and a decidedly avante-garde bent in the peripheral activity, plenty for an inquisitive brain to chew on."

Glen Neff, Tribal Timeshift     www.glenneff.com

December 20, 2011 | by Skope

Glen Neff was born in New Jersey in a family that was extremely musically inclined. Growing up in this environment opened a lot of doors for him as he built his own career one beat at a time. His music is atmospheric and soothing. He is able to inspire emotions with out the benefit of any lyrics.

He now lives in New Mexico in a round straw-bale house he designed and built himself. I assume this is the birth place of his cosmic instrumentals. This CD was beyond fascinating for me. I am a songwriter stronger in lyrics than I am in melodies, so anyone with the ability to manipulate tunes in such extraordinary ways is mind blowing to me.

The entire CD is dreamy to say the least. It feels like a journey through time. It provokes images in my head of nature documentaries you might see on the NatGeo or Science channel. Glen has a unique way of blending pulsating beats with eerie synthesizers that create intricate melodic detail.

Glen Neff has an impressive bio with numerous projects done for TV and films; after listening to his latest release, “Tribal Timeshift”, it is easy to understand why. He is a composer extraordinaire, who can conjure musical masterpieces that are spellbinding.

While listening to the CD in its entirety I came to learn, understand and appreciate that I was in the presence of greatness. This CD not only is an excellent learning tool for anyone interested in pursuing a composing career, it is also an awesome resource of enjoyment.

Glen Neff  www.glenneff.com
Santa Fe/Cerrillos/Madrid composer musician designer builder painter Glen Neff fuses his love of instrumental improvisation with a steady hand in the studio,creating  globally influenced electronic music, improvised jam sessions, and carefully crafted compositions. For once-devout followers of the ambient/chill movement that nearly dominated local radio airwaves in Santa Fe a few years ago, Neff’s work will tickle that perhaps-dormant spot in your ear canal in some pretty intriguing ways. While there is a heft of traditional African, Punjabi-Bhangra, Eastern European and Middle Eastern influence running through the album’s rhythmic and vocal-sample veins, Neff deftly adds more contemporary meat to the musical muscle, with layers upon layers of synth, live instruments, effects, drum programming and out-of-left-field genre inclusions.
