Media composer, performing musician, and Live  Looping artist. 

I compose and produce recordings for media post-production, typically to be used in television, film, games, and work together with a number of production music libraries that handle the licensing. This SoundCloud account mirrors the last three hours of my growing production music catalog. 

A rather new outlet for me is to play solo concerts with the Chapman Stick instrument (profile photo) at churches here in Sweden. 

I'm also a dedicated Live Looping enthusiast. Live Looping is the act of instantly sampling and remixing oneself while playing acoustic/electric instruments. It's like performing live electronics without any prerecorded parts, or like Musique Concrète performed in real-time (rather than cutting and splicing audio tape or editing samples). My point is to create the music as I go - improvising sound as well as music and remix treatments in a process of instant composing. My dream for Live Looping is to bridge the gap between composer, conductor, musician, DJ, and remix artist. 

Besides patching live electronics I also play fretless Harp Guitar, normal Guitar,  Chapman Stick, Alto and Soprano Flutes, Tenor Sax, Soprano Sax, EWI, fretless electric Bass, Lapsteel Guitar, and Electric Cello. I tend to consider the whole shebang my personal "meta-instrument".  Mechanical instruments and electronic processing techniques all blur into one fat and messy palette that I use to paint music on the time canvas.

Martin Corral and Duncan Meadows formed Acrifolia in late 2009. Influenced by genres including ambient, modern-classical and dub the Mancunian duo create atmospheric and emotive music featuring piano, guitar and violin. 

Debut album Lament, released in November 2010, revolves around the theme of a descending musical scale - recalling the work of Avro Part - and explores the feelings of loss and its eventual redemption.

Acrifolia's music, including tracks from an 4-track EP titled Infinite Still (released in May 2010)  has been played in radio programmes around the world. Both 

Lament and Infinite Still attracted thoughtful and passionate reviews.

Meadows is also a member of notable UK electronic act Marconi Union. He has also worked with Italian arranger and trumpet player Giorgio Li Calzi. Acrifolia continue to work on various projects and collaborations.

Acrifolia are planning to perform live and hope to incorporate visual media into their set.

Ivan Kapec and Višeslav Laboš have been basing their thoughts and musical practice on the repetative structure of loops for quite some time now. .. Both Kapec and Laboš come from different musical backgrounds, jazz and electronic music respectively. They have been successfully synthesizing their personal influences, which resulted in something that reaches far beyond the mere number of their technical components. .. The acoustic visage of the duo, the guitar (Kapec) and a turntable (Laboš), refuses to be lured into the humdrum of ambient music founded on the repetitiveness, and at the same time escapes from the aggressive jaws of the uniformity that has become an integral characteristic of ‘dj music‘. .. The duo presents us with a true gem of chamber music constructed on loops. The one which explores the dynamic and dramatic organisation of audio material based on the repetition. ..

Slowly dipping my toes into the waters again after a substantial absence from more serious musicmaking.

Shrike´s abilities



Throughout the books it is apparent that the Shrike can travel through time, appearing to move much faster than light and appearing to exist everywhere simultaneously if it desires. The Shrike was at one point assumed to be a prisoner of the Hyperion time tombs' anti-entropic fields (the 'time tides'), but as these began to degrade, the Shrike ranged farther and farther and eventually was observed on other planets elsewhere in the galaxy.



It is essentially immune to virtually all conventional weaponry, most of which simply has no effect on it whatsoever. Additionally, the Shrike's speed and ability to control time allows it to avoid virtually any conventional weapon with ease (it can even dodge laser strikes). It can withstand direct hits from human weapons, such as plasma rifles, with no measurable effect. Upon suffering injury in combat, the Shrike is seen to lose a large amount of cabling likened to intestines, but in no way loses its abilities as a result.



The Shrike proves to be more than competent at hand-to-hand combat; it is itself a gigantic cutting utensil, and its control over the flow of time make it nigh invincible.
