Good To Know

Feel the love (remastered) available on Bandcamp

Composed and performed with the Kueng bass recorder in F, and spontaneously recorded with an iphone in the medieval nunnery of Vreta, Sweden, on 2 March 2022. The performance space was a small round side chamber built before 1139. I am playing with the unique acoustics of the room [no amplification on site, no processing]. I was on my way to Finland, to the Saari residency, traveling on ground via Sweden.

A big thank you to all my followers, likers, reposters for their support I sincerely appreciate you all. I’m so proud this composition has reached the Soundcloud New & Hot Classical Charts sitting at No.7 on 21.3.2022.

Music is the vapour of art.
It is to poetry what
reverie is to thought, what
fluid is to solid, what the
ocean of clouds is to the
ocean of waves.  - Victor Hugo -

Reverie

'Sonic Bayou', written and produced by Editor Cole. I wrote this recently with the idea of it being on an EP for spa music, but when It was complete, It worked really well with the rest of the tracks I had written for 'Landing Party', which is an electronic album I'm releasing this spring. It's mostly ambient, dark ambient, atmospheric, sometimes hypnotic, and cinematic in parts. I've yet to finish mixing this, but as ever, best to listen with headphones, or through good monitors.

Sonic Bayou

Album is now available here:

The essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and commodities into capital. The live green earth is transformed into dead gold bricks, with luxury items for the few and toxic slag heaps for the many. The glittering mansion overlooks a vast sprawl of shanty towns, wherein a desperate, demoralized humanity is kept in line with drugs, television, and armed force.


An Anti Media Foundation Production

Dissidents Of Reality - We Have A Soundbite

Suspense under water in the deep sea. Who knows what lurks beneath the waves....

Deep Blue Sea

Sunset

Inspired by the Artemis project by NASA to return to the moon

Return To The Moon

From the forthcoming album 'Moon 2' - If you listen carefully you might hear the breathing of the astronaut in the background.

Moonbase

One Giant Leap

Daydream (Nothing Is Remix)

16th century. The Spanish Golden Age, the British rise to power. Strict Catholic childhood a perfect «Christian lord» should receive, and his thirst for the beyond — all the needed ingredients for the man Indians will believe to be the incarnation of Tezcatlipoca, the god creating and destructing the world.

The track is a part of "Tezcatlipoca y el Fuego" universe by Franz Wertvollen. Discover this story through La Alegría music video: youtube.com/watch?v=gpPU8mmnyD0

Full album coming soon.

Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.

Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
