I grew up with Soft Cell. 
I first caught up with Marc and Dave's incredible music at the end of the duos initial career around 1984, when I was at the tender age of 12. 
I then worked backwards over their catalogue over the next few years. 
The band cemented their place in my consciousness along with the other synth acts at the time.
But there was always something that separated Soft Cell's music even from the likes of the mighty Depeche Mode.
Thinking back on it now I think it's actually two things:
Marc's kitchen sing drama lyrics which were very different to the other acts at the time, and of course, Dave Balls often quite unusual arrangements. 
Fast forward back to now and the sad, sad news of Dave's passing at a far too young age. 
We at MinorScales wanted to mark his passing in some small measure.
So here is our version of my favourite Soft Cell song. 
Sit back and enjoy our interpretation of Say Hello Wave Goodbye.

I don’t just make music — I travel through it.
Every tone, every breath, every quiet moment is part of something larger.
We often chase goals, results, and recognition —
but the true prize lies in the road itself,
in those fleeting sparks when sound turns into emotion.

Ambient is my calling, yet I never let boundaries define me.
Arpeggios, textures, and the occasional random plonk have become my compass,
guiding me through the vast soundscape between chaos and calm.

I’ve learned that success isn’t what you reach —
it’s what you feel while creating.
When gratitude replaces measurement,
music stops being a project to complete
and becomes a melody to experience. 🌙

I don’t chase trends, fame, or numbers.
Music flows through me naturally — shaped by nature, the cosmos,
and the quiet hum of everyday life.
If my sounds resonate with others, that’s a beautiful bonus.
But in the end, I create because I love it.

Peace 🫶 Join me on the journey.

UK based composer, producer, and vocalist in multiple genres. For the love of music.

THERE SURE IS A LOT OF SYNTHWAVE AROUND HERE
