The mysterious 'Cup and Rings' rock art created over 3,000 years ago in Europe have fascinated archeologists over many years. In 1981 an unusual specimen was uncovered in an urban woodland in the Yorkshire city of Sheffield which I make a point of visiting regularly. This neolithic masterpiece lies tucked away in Ecclesall Woods and is characterised by a variant of the usual concentric circles design, which gives a unique outline to its carving. This funkier version of Stone Age expression deserves a celebration in music which is attempted here....

Absolutely thrilled to be working once again with my good friend, the awesome Audiobake (https://soundcloud.com/audiobake) on our second collab - Crows.
My original idea of crows & Japanese taiko drums has been transformed, thanks to the master of percussion & sfx. 
This guy is just amazing to work with ♥

Thank you for listening ♥

2020 was a good year for writing ...finding some old YouTube postings of mine

some trains won't leave
won't even start
though I put a thousand miles 
of rail beneath this heart
I’ve ridden hard, I've driven fast
But a part of me stayed at the station with my past
Some trains may leave,
but your memories still stuck back in town 

I hear that whistle blowin’, feel the wheels roll down the track 
But There’s a part of me… that won’t stop goin’ back
I never left your memories, still hear those sad goodbyes … 
Some trains won’t leave no matter how you try

太鼓打つ子の後を追う浮雲のおもい足取りわれの後追う

I followed a boy as he walked, beating his drum.
Anxiousness followed behind me.

Assault on Antares is an electronic music, 10 track EP composed by Troy Sterling Nies.

“This is a mash-up of styles from the 70-80s with a dash of contemporary electronic seasoning.

I was inspired by my early exposure to electronic music with groups such as Tangerine Dream, Kitaro, Synergy, Brian Eno, Vangelis, Steve Roach and more. Growing up in the 70’s-80’s exposed me to the renaissance of electronic music and the dawn of video games and home computers (Commodore 64 was my cpu). I have very vivid and fond memories of the arcade halls lined with video game consoles such as GORF, WIZARD OF WOR, TRON, BATTLEZONE and many, many more. I had an ATARI 2600 (still do and it works!) and logged countless hours trying to master those games. All the while, the music of the electronic greats whirled through my head or were on the turn table or cassette deck while I played the games - a sort of do-it-yourself soundtrack by the means that I had at that time.

Now that the tools are available, I’ve been ‘playing in the aural sandbox’ so to speak and am happy to be able to release some my electronic music mind experiments with the influences and experiences mentioned above. I've teamed up with visual artist John Liposhak (visual FX for CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT) and he is currently creating a visual-video component for the music. Stay tuned for more! I hope you enjoy the journey.” - Troy Sterling Nies, composer OCT2023

I had my first listening experiences with electronic music at the beginning of the 80s. Bands like Depeche Mode but also harder industrial bands like Skinny Puppy were and are my preferences. These inspired me to make music myself.
