I started putting this together in October 2022, and eventually completed it in March 2023, although I was working on quite a few other projects during that period.

This started out as an ambient composition, but it slowly morphed into a chillout or possibly New Age piece.

EDIT: 20230514 I have remixed the track, moving the unaffected "bell" synth towards the centre of the stereo field, and reduced its volume. The track was then mastered, using the original chain

Return To The Glass Cliff

Here is a mellow, ambient piece that I put together in a few hours over 3 or 4 days at the end of November 2022. A couple of days after I completed it, I realised that a couple of my favourite '80s albums had been talking to me.

Edit:2023-08-17

I made a minor remix of this yesterday. I have improved the stereo placement of 3 Absynth instances, adjusted the levelling of one of them, and tweaked the EQ to remove some harshness.

Lens (2023 remix/2023 master)

A song about a river, although my memory is possibly untrustworthy. I wrote and recorded it in January 2023, and mastered it in April. This track features on Ambient Online Compilation Volume 26, although the mastering will differ slightly from this version.

Stay awake

Bathe at Your Own Risk

Bathe At Your Own Risk

Tube Un Contratiempo

This is a track I started putting together in late 2021 whilst getting to grips with MuLAB. I didn't finish it at the time, and other projects captured my attention. In June 2024, I rediscovered this project and finished it over a couple of months during my free moments.

It's another ambient/Berlin-School inspired piece of electronica, that features a lot of sounds from Absynth5.

Edit: 20241126 - I remixed it in November 2024, bringing down the LPF corner frequencies on most of the Absynth instances, and increasing some of the EQuivocate attenuation of the mids of the same instruments. I also took the opportunity to clean up a little LF mud. It was mastered using the same chain used on the original version.

Wake Up, Detune, Switch Off

Wake Up, Detune, Switch Off (Nov 2024 Remix/Master)

This is the 2024 T-Racks 5 master of the track previously uploaded in May 2023. This is a little louder than the earlier upload. This track was inspired by an earlier visit to Thailand. This version should appear on an album later in 2025.

Here is a link to the original track:-

Return to the Glass Cliff (2024 Master)

This is the 2024 remaster of my song about the River Lethe (which I never quite forgot about). It was originally made for Ambient Online Compilation Volume 26. Hopefully, you will find it pleasantly soporific.

Bathe at Your Own Risk (2024 Master)

Trying to reconcile love for old-school Prog-Rock with more modern approach to instrumentation and composition. Hopefully the results of this unlikely fusion will yield some level of success.
