Pulling myself out of a bit of musical doldrums (we’ve all been there!), I resurrected a song that sat for a long time in concept only.  I intended it to be a driven song with a Billy Cobham/Jan Hammer influence.  Something that was on my “musical shelf” and collecting a lot of dust, a victim of the doldrums, that finally sparked and I took it from a scratch idea into what is presented here.

"I don't always make music.  But when I do, I prefer dynamics.  Stay below -6dB, my friends."

Composition explorations in musical textures, stories and grooves.

I am an amateur composer, producer and musician who has been inspired and influenced by music my entire life.  Beyond my interests in developing harmony and rhythm ideas, a song’s timbres and textures have always held a deeper emotional grip on me.  This passion for tone has dominated my compositions and productions, which are combined with playful melodies and progressions that are immersed in sophisticated soulful beats.

B L U N T • F O R C E • S E R E N I T Y is led by Robin Benjamins and features collaborations with composers and musicians from down the road, and from around the world.  These artists are:

Welcome to my sonic playground. I don't consider myself a skilled musician. I just sculpt sounds to quiet my mind... often with surprising and humorous results. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your visit. :)

I’m Justin, the puppeteer behind GrevusAnjl, and this is my personal page for reposting my favorite SoundCloud musicians. If you’re searching for ‘Hidden Gems’ amidst this talented community, I think you’ll be very happy here.

When I joined SoundCloud back in September of 2016, the first thing I took full advantage of was exploring the real artists on this site and organizing playlists of my very favorite songs. I had a great time browsing pages, reading bios, exploring songs and commenting on my favorites… and I’ve met some great people and made a few friends along the way. This page is all about them; the wonderful musicians you might not otherwise discover.

I hope you enjoy discovering and exploring these ‘Hidden Gems’ as much as I have. 

Smiles,
Justin

Composer/Producer blending folk melodies with neoclassical vibes, and cinematic verve, my work is a mix of original compositions and contemporary arrangements of traditional tunes.  I hope you enjoy the music! 

Philleann (pronouced PHILLY-ENN) is a mash up of my name Phil and one of the instruments I play, the Uilleann Pipes.  I also play the Whistle and Accordion.

I'm a Brit now residing in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I'm also a member of Bellow Bridge a traditional celtic folk band.
