BIOGRAPHY

 
AKA - Blacksnow. The style is an interesting form of ‘Up-Beat Fusion’ music, with a Prog. Rock influence, performed with instruments (Such as Sax and Flute) Compositions are with Modal harmonies, and highly influenced by Electronic/Psychedelic bands such as Ozric Tentacles and Gong.

Obscure Nebular Destiny
Music of the Spheres

Phases, Faces & Scenarios.
Guitars, Gadgets, Synths & Woodwinds.
Voices & Every Thing We Can Find.
Always Improvised.

Solitary manipulator of soundproducing stuff. Mostly improvising in some way or many. 

You're free to download and use this music as you please. Sample,mix, fix or mangle it into unrecognisableness, but I want to hear the result. That's the only catch.
Can send you stems etc if wanted... 

Interested in collaborations/remixing/stuff.
Give feedback and hints as you see fit. Peer review is important in this kind of endeavour. I have no charts for these territories, no boundaries are in view, no limits.

Mixed with and mostly for headphones, not sure how it'll sound on sound systems. For some tracks it's advisable to turn the sound up, but some tracks are quite loud. I don't know what I'm doing half(or more of) the time.
Time is elusive and opportunities for spending time on my music comes and goes fast. An hour here and two hours there...I need coffee...
