The Ethereal Unknown (Synthwave)

Transmogrification Initialised

My first electroacoustic composition for manipulated electric guitar live performance.

Inspired by the exciting work being done in Physics at institutions such as the LHC and LIGO. The Diphoton Anomaly is a current anomaly in LHC data which if confirmed could hint at a brand new particle discover - and one that is unexpected this time!

The Time Machine from the 2013 Ascension album 'Far Beyond the Stars'.

This track tells the story of the (surprisingly good) movie The Time Machine (2002) based on the classic novel by H. G. Wells. 

The movie adds a very interesting and trageic twist to the original book which lends itself to make for an interesting song!

Dark Ambient Idea

Written about the beauty of Petra - the Rose-Red City; half as old as time.

"It seems no work of Man's creative hand,
by labour wrought as wavering fancy planned;
But from the rock as if by magic grown,
eternal, silent, beautiful, alone!"

Ascension (Stuart Docherty) - The Avatar (Ascension)

The instrumental track from the Ascension album "Far Beyond the Stars".

Intended to be a fun balance between technically advanced playing and interesting and catchy melodies. This is the basis for the Ascension sound... musicality, technicality and strong melody driven music.
