Music and things that might sound like music by Mat Ward. Noise Art/A  Piano and Bass Duet with Dani Kirby/A 50 plus member Art Ensemble called Then She Reaches The Gun/Deep Research Into Luigi Russolo and his Intonarumori .. thats just the stuff I post regularly : ) Thanks to everyone thats ever stopped by. Music is The Best!

Times change, ideas change, and so does the music. To make pleasing enjoyable music was the original idea, now the music has become the expression of thought, the expression of emotion. Painting sound-scapes with music is the ultimate goal. To bring the listeners on journeys of discovery, imagination, fear and sorrow. Take what you can from each song, but mostly, enjoy the ride, and have fun with it.

Also for a different approach please visit my Quiet Mayhem site.

This is an ambient/post-rock project. After years of playing nothing but metal we had the idea to slow everything down and take out the words. Not the most original idea but a crucial one nonetheless.  The result is an instrumental project we now know as Blue-Sky Spirits.

Strongly influenced by David Gilmour, Maserati, Silversun Pickups, God Is An Astronaut, 65daysofstatic, This Will Destroy You, Explosions In The Sky, Minus The Bear, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Alphadiabetic, Hammock, Muse, 
Red Sparowes, The Album Leaf, The Six Parts Seven, Signal Hill, The Form & Fate, El Ten Eleven, Saxon Shore, Stars Of The Lid, Mogwai and many more. So give us a listen and follow us.

I'm in the process of renovating/updating various aspects of my studio, adding new hardware/software. New music on the way.

I'm a believer in true social interaction on SC, having intelligent dialogue with artists, and giving personal feedback that is (hopefully) more inspired than "Nice."  There are a lot of decent artists here not attempting to "go viral", sharing great music that deserves to be heard and not drowned out by bots.  Encouragement/criticism promotes growth, so say something worth something.

Exploring a blend of improvisation, styles, minimal composing and maximal production.

A laboratory with an open bar and floating altar. Come on in! 

Here are various solo and collaborative projects - songs, soundscapes, live looped solo guitar improvisations. 

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.

I teach in US higher education (in a STEM field) & am a hobbyist composer writing in a few different styles. I recommend headphones. All of my music is released under a Creative Commons Attribution/Noncommercial license.

My bandcamp page is getting out of date again, but some older albums there can be downloaded for free or for a name-your-own price donation.

If anyone wants to try performing any of this stuff on real instruments please send a message and I can provide scores. Not sure how playable some of it is for human musicians though.

Unsolicited messages asking me to listen to your latest song will lead to you being blocked unless if I know you well and we've interacted a lot.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!

Ambient textures, granular atmospheres, and evolving soundscapes.

100% human-made music - no AI involved.

I release new tracks almost daily - fragments of tone shaped by silence, noise, and time.

Follow to drift with me.

The Tempus Collective are : 
Kevin Fleming - writing, vocals & keys
Stewart Grieve (Solo Greebo) - writing, keys and production

The Tempus Collective are a duo hailing from Glasgow/Scotland, consisting of Kevin Fleming (vocals and keys) and Stewart Grieve (Keys, programming and production). The boys first met at school and have been playing together since 1983. They got their first 4-track a few years later and have continued to be bedroom music makers ever since, except for a 10 year recess to attend to family life.

Over the years there have been various musicians who have joined the ranks but it remains a two piece outfit for the moment with guest  musicians joining the band for selected projects as they are required.

Influenced by the likes of The Blue Nile, David Sylvian,Thomas Feiner and similar melancholic artists, the Tempus sound is usually a subdued affair that could never be considered mainstream.

"We spend a lot of time on production, we always have, it's about making the best of what you have at the time, both in ability  and equipment and as the years have gone on, both have improved vastly. We always felt that one good sounding song was worth 10 poor ones !  That's what we strive for, That's where we always channeled our energies and it still is to this day."

Using Soundcloud as their main platform to showcase their music the boys have accumulated a decent following and gained a lot of confidence from the warm reception they have received from fellow musicians and music lovers alike....
