Just awesome Loved it! Love from South AFrica xx

This piece is an attempt to find the grounded,  the earthy connections between us and the planet, something that's disappearing all too quickly. I've always like the idea of shamanism from the perspective of it being someone who wants to go beyond the normal experiences of living and into uncharted territory. I'm aware of the irony of using a totally electronic base from which to do so,  but I find these tools give me far greater access to the sounds I hear in my imaginings, so in a way, they are grounded. I really wanted the percussion to drive this work, so loaded a number of ethnic type drums into Redrum and Kong in Reason to make all my drum tracks.  All synths, but one, are Zebra and Synthmaster, my 2 favourites the last few months. I feel so lucky to live in a time when these types of tools are available to me and that we have sites like this to expose our music to others.

The Disposition of the Forms in Space

I love composing and many things to do with electronic music and processing of sounds. I also love playing electric guitar and my work reflects both of those loves I hope. I am glad to have found a site with which to upload some of my material. It seems better to have people listen for free, than not to have it heard at all. I have a complicated mix of musical education and tastes: playing by ear at first, then in my teens, taking piano lessons while dropping guitar for a couple of years, getting heavily into synths in the 80s, and around the late 90s after getting good guitar gear, back into guitar again. The last few years I've mixed both of those loves again. Whether I make more CDs is an open question for now, the economic realities being the main issue, not for lack of material.

A lot my pieces are visually conjuring, as in soundtracks for your own imagined movie. Though you won't be able to see it here, obviously, they really work well with things like fractal animations; there's something about the way the images evolve that seem to have a correspondence with the way in which I think of composition in general. 

All compositions are played, arranged, written, and scored by me and all instruments and effects are programmed by myself. The music is self-engineered and produced. I have a long list of hardware and software, but softsynths dominate my copsing now, using such great tools as Synthmaster, Zebra, Bazille, Uhbik, MFM2, Korg's Legacy Collection, Imposcar 2 and Rob Papen's Explorer 6. I have 5 guitars, but mainly use my US made Telecaster and 60th anniversary Stratocaster with a nice set of footpedals.I compose with Cubase Artist 8.5 and Reason 10 on an Intel i7 3820 pc.

Thanks to all who have listened and feel free to write notes on the tracks or to me. I am open to all sorts of discussion, but especially the technical aspects, such as production and sound design. Happy listening.
A friend of mine's comments: Nora Tsai-Houk Love it.... You outdid yourself again creative and talented one! By the third listen lyrics were flowing. The power of induced emotions in the end do bring peace to a ravished chaos.... a beautiful thing.... Healing sounds of enchantment is a cure like no other when one is open and in awe as chaos transforms to an organized flow of speaking sound. Thank you for sharing. Peace & Hugs  
From a really nice comment by Zuma Junction: " Geoff, my friend, your music is so beautiful and emotive... just puts a sublime smile on my face everytime I listen to it. Your compositions redeem music in the modern age. Music in the present day has come to mirror the shallow and extroverted downturn of human civilization... but not your music, brother. This is no 4 on the floor mindless club music. This is redemption. Never stop and don't you ever change!
