A long time ago, someone or something decided that noises were entertaining.    Upon this discovery, it was determined that the pattern of the sound made the sound more pleasant and easier for others to join in on the noise.  Eventually it was learned that more than one sound could be used at the same time.  Once the sounds were arranged to compliment each other, as opposed to competing with each other, more tools were invented in order to make more sounds on demand and these arrangements became more complex.  Let me cut to the chase.  A guy, from a place, made some songs.  Hope you enjoy.

Paddy Free is one of New Zealand's best known electronic musicians. He has written music for television, film, theatre, dance and multi-media art, as well as acting as producer and engineer for many world-famous New Zealand bands.

Paddy first came to prominence in 1996 as a founding member of Mesh, the Auckland-based "live organic techno" band that combined dancefloor technology with traditional Pacific instruments. Firm favourites in Auckland's emerging dance scene, Mesh impressed punters with their high energy live gigs and innovative sound. Paddy's love of Pacific music has seen him perform at WOMAD with Mesh and Henry Taripo, and in 1998 he travelled to Tonga to perform at the Heilala festival with the group A Pride of Lions.

Paddy was the co-producer and co-engineer of Salmonella Dub's Killervision and One Drop East albums, and producer of Inside the Dub Plates which has sold over four times platinum. He has been twice-nominated for Best Producer at the Tuis - the New Zealand Music Awards - and in 2002 was awarded Best Engineer.

As a producer/engineer, keyboard player and general studio boffin, Paddy has worked with a diverse range of New Zealand bands such as Crowded House, Neil Finn, Supergroove, Emma Paki, Moana and the Moahunters, Oceania, Stellar* and The Exponents, to name but a few.

As a composer for arts and contemporary dance projects, Paddy has worked with Atamira Dance Collective, Mau and Black Grace. He has composed several soundtracks for installation works by multi-media artist Rachael Rakena. Rachael's latest work, Aniwaniwa was shown at the Sydney and Venice Biennales in 2007.

However it is Pitch Black, with Michael Hodgson, for which Paddy is best known. Since forming in 1996, Pitch Black have been at the forefront of New Zealand electronica, renowned for their mind-blowing multimedia live performances and four sonically cutting-edge albums. Since 1996 Pitch Black have played all over New Zealand and toured to Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Austria, Croatia, Japan and the USA.

Paddy has been performing a live solo set of Pacific-influenced electronica since 1999, and his debut solo album, a collaboration with renown taonga puoro expert Richard Nunns, entitled Karekare: Te Reo O Te Whenua was released on July 14 2008, on Dub Conspiracy Recordings. Combining electronica with taonga puoro and vocals in te reo Maori from Tiki Taane and Waimihi Hotere, Karekare represents a uniquely New Zealand sound, truly The Language of the Land.

If you're on Soundcloud, you love music, and that's why I'm here. I'm a amateur producer but a professional lover. All my tracks are from scratch- I try to sample as little as possible to keep things original. Kiwi living in Canada.

Enjoy, comment on, and share my tracks :)

Peace and smiles!

Pushing to improve my music production abilities. Always discovering new things. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4VS0zPBZexipwpFjazW3wQ?si=UEQpkvGrRva4WcL-_cPE0w
