'Shapes in Space'

Thank you  for visiting my world, I'm happy to share! Listening is free, commenting is priceless.

I 've been composing electronic music for more than 23 years but only started this new project 3 years ago, when the band in which I played bass splited.

 A large amount of the music I love was recorded in the 70's. Among these revered groups , Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Ange or King Crimson stand out. Over the years, I've also been very fond of many diverse bands and songwriters (The Doors; The Beatles; Bowie; Neil Young; Deep Purple; Led Zep; Patti Smith; U2; The Police; Massive Attack; Chemical Brothers; Killing Joke; Marillion; Morphine; Nirvana; The Young Gods; Dominique A; Noir Désir, Conil, Aurora ...). 
More related to my own synth music production, one could find influences from Vangelis, Jarre, Björk, Oldfield, Numan, Kraftwerk, Schultze and other pioneers. Finally, I should mention the great soundtrack composers such as Ennio Morricone, Wendy Carlos or Hans Zimmer.
Above all those great musicians stands the beloved statue of Ludwig van Beethoven, the visionary, the prodigy, the most sensitive man.

My desire is to be a tiny part of the admirable family of human composers and musicians in order to explore the infinity of musical combinations that our mind offers... To achieve this goal, I will continue to mix my own set of diverse influences in my own imperfect human way, without surrendering to any type of AI composer. My approach questions the astonishing way in which skills, sensitivity, aesthetic and personal history provide the fuel and oxygen for our creativity, while chance, curiosity and current feelings provide the spark. What matters the most is the process, not the result, the “product”. 
I often start my new pieces with a vague idea of the genre and mood I want to explore. Then, by playing with one of my synths, I let the sound impose its nature and call for other sounds it wants to play with.  My role as a composer is like that of a sailor acting on his rudder and his sails. I am neither the wind nor the sea and I have no map, but my instinct should allow me to avoid the reefs and I will eventually land somewhere, most likely a strange and unexpected place.
My pieces will always reflect the result of hundreds of micro-choices I made, consciously or unconsciously, that's what makes it fun, right?
Feel free to comment or criticize my plethoric prod because reading your feedbacks is the only reward I expect.

I like to make my music interesting with novel twists and turns so please take your time, I'm sure you'll enjoy the musical surprises in the songs.
It's my way of making instrumental music interesting.
 

I've been a performing guitarist since the early sixties, survived the hippie era. 
I was a member of several respected aussie rock/blues and original rock bands, such as the late sixties W.G. Berg, Headband in the early seventies, Fraternity MKII and Mickey Finn 1976 - 1992. Later I joined the blues band Hoy-Hoy! until about 2017.

I now don't play live due to an illness but, as you can see, I do my 'thang' at my home studio, a computer based Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) enjoying music making immensely!

I hope you enjoy my music as much as I do making it. :)

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen, like and share my noises. I am extremely grateful. My apologies if I take a little while to respond to those that leave nice comments.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.

No AI is used to generate sounds whilst journeying on these cacophonic adventures.

TBR channels the intimate aesthetic of a solo artist, then puts it through a high-gain filter of grunge and metal. Forget polished studios—TBR delivers a raw, home-brewed sound that captures the grit and energy of garage rock. It’s heavy music with a personal conscience, offering a visceral commentary on modern life and political angst into potent, riff-driven anthems.

TBR’s sound is built on a powerhouse foundation, born from a bass player’s driving, ballsy rhythm section. This core energy is an adrenaline-fuelled blend of trad rock, hardcore punk, and thrash metal ferocity, which later exploded into diverse territories of cutting-edge alt rock and raw acoustic folk. No matter the evolution, that inherent metal edge and electrifying power remain the uncompromising heart of their sound.

However, the true TBR journey ignited during the pandemic, born from a burning need for authentic passion. Disillusioned by cover bands and playing others' songs, reflection forged a new path: the undeniable drive to create something truly their own.

Dive into the powerful debut album, Random Acts!
Forged over 10+ years, this album is a compelling collection of songs that masterfully merges a folky foundation with the raw energy of grunge and garage rock. Experience a sound that is both distinct and timeless, a strong and proud debut standing as a powerful statement from TBR.

However, what came next was the sophomore album; On The Surface. This is not easy listening. This is the sound of breaking points and breakthroughs, a sonic exorcism that rips through years of pain and reclaims the wreckage. On The Surface is an unflinching self-reflection, a time capsule of necessary growth and the tough, brutal road required to finally take control.

The music is a visceral assault, a lo-fi powerhouse that bleeds Grunge's grit, Thrash's fury, Sludge Metal's weight, Garage Rock's swagger, and Post Hardcore's intensity. The influences are worn proudly, but the resulting sound is uniquely its own—raw, self-produced, and pulsating with authentic, untamed energy.

This album weaponizes fear, anger, and self-depreciation, forging them into a liberating and transformative experience. It is the best form of therapy available, a testament to enduring the darkness to find the light. Prepare to face the void and emerge, finally, on the other side.

Get ready for an authentic, impactful musical journey that defines the core of TBR's unique artistry.
