Aquarium by Camille Saint-Saëns from the suite "The Carnival of the Animals"

Created in what must a record time for me of about 10 hours using primarily an Arturia Origin digital modular, Eventide pitch factor, Strymon El Capistan, EHX Cathedral, Line-6 M13 and Digitech Timebender. Done a Tomita style not dissimilar to his debut album "Snow Flakes are Dancing"

Aquarium : In Isao Tomita style electronic

Another quick piece from the Carnival of the Animals, this time its Fossils.

This was made again primarily with the Arturia Origin digital hardware modular synth but also with help from Reaktor, u-he ACE and Arturia ARP 2600V again. Effects provided by the EHX Cathedral, Line 6 M13, Eventide Pitchfactor and Digitech Timebender.

Fossils : Tomita Classitronic version

The Swan Version 2 - Electronic Tomita Style

The back ground music for on of my newer Curious Droid videos on you tube https://youtu.be/m6MOaECL6FM . Made with a half synthesizer.com modular controlled eurorack Oberkorn sequencer and a few other bits running through a Roland RE-20 and Strymon Big sky. Done in one take and mostly knob twiddling on the sequencer to get the TD style baseline.

How can you Stop a Nuclear missile

Background music for the latest curious droid video Space junk, improvised over three takes, one for the bassline, strings and matrix brute. Made with Synthesizer.com modular, eurorack sequencing control, Matrixbrute and streichfett through a Roland RE-20, big sky and TC electronics alter ego, mastered in Live 9. Not a lot of thought, more just noodling and seeing what happened.

Debussy Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum - Tomita Style

Sibelius Intermezzo from the Karelia Suite Op.11 in a classitronic style

Intermezzo Karelia Suite Op.11 - Sibelius/Shillito

A quick ambient-ish eurorack piece that came about whilst I was trying out some new modules, the strange croaking noises, chirping in the background reminded me of being on the tropics at night when the insects, frogs etc start their night time song but not everything that comes out at night is quite so harmless.

The main part revolves around an Intellijel Shapeshifter driven by a quantised Tirana sequencer clocked by a Make Noise Tempi.
One side of the shape shifter is going thru a makenoise QPAS filter the en thru one half of a strymon magneto. 
The QPAS is modulated by a 4 outputs of the Mutable instruments Tides and XOAC Batumi.
The other side of the Intellijel Shape shifter is routed thru a Borg II filter modulated by an Erica synths Black VC EG which then goes thru aZDSP running a room reverb.
Both outputs of the Magento are run thru an L-I stereo mixer with stereo panning by a quadrature LFO. 
No additional effects other recording into Cubase and fades applied at the beginning and ends.

Night In the Rainforest

Stravinsky - Petrushka Electronic Full verison

I made this 10 years ago in 2010, its been sitting on my hard drive for ages till I rediscovered it. 
Done in a Tomita style, whilst trying not to sound like his version.
As far as I can remember it was made mostly with the Arturia Origin, Creamware pro 12, Some Arturia soft synths, I can't remember which, Eventide pitch factor, EHX Cathedral.
I was part of a full version of the Rite of Spring but I only did the first 4 parts

Rite of Spring part 2

Another part of the Rite of Spring from 10 years ago (2010), it was still very much a work in progress at the time, this is a slightly earlier version as I was doing a lot of tweaks and tucks, some of which I didn't like much in hindsight, so this is probably my favourite. 
I still have the original Cubase project and I keep thinking about going back finishing the whole thing... maybe we'll see :)

Avid electronic music fan turned artist, 

Most of my older stuff is my electronic interpretations of classical music in a similar style to that of Isao Tomita. i have recently started making more of these style interpretations.
