the first light

Dungeon synth track, sampling Sonic the Hedgehog of all things.

Hidden Palace (Sega Megadrive-inspired Dungeon Synth)

The picture tells a story. Berry Pomeroy Castle, a beautiful, emotional and evocative place. Haunted. Very haunted. 

This piece, derived from The Haunting, embodies everything I wanted to do with an orchestral piece. 

Please enjoy.

The Long Haunting

A Dangerous Group ?

Where Hide The Angels? Here, in the Woods of course...

Waking the Dead

Waking The Dead

Track 1 of the "Where the Old Tracks Cross" EP (released 4th July 2024 on Bandcamp).

The Ice Line Drift project is focused on instrumental melodic ambient minimalist beat free rhythmic electronic music often centred around the re-use of the same musical phrases and lines mimicked over different sounds. My inspirations are early Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream & Mike Oldfield.

Where the Old Tracks Cross (Ice Line Drift)

Slightly longer with a very significant nod...

Sublime (Extended Version)

Helioglide is around 42 years old now, wrote it back in my late teens I think. There's another recorded version on here that was from 2022 but it's one of those songs that I'm never quite happy with, hence this updated version.

Helioglide '24

Regenesis

After Dream

Sitting in the sun, halfway between asleep and awake, mind wandering to wonderful places and happy thoughts...

Daydreams

Daydreams (Piano Version)

Just imagine... if you knew they were coming... but... as friends? Or...?

Thank you  for visiting my world, I'm happy to share! Listening is free, commenting is priceless.

I 've been composing electronic music for more than 23 years but only started this new project 3 years ago, when the band in which I played bass splited.

 A large amount of the music I love was recorded in the 70's. Among these revered groups , Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Ange or King Crimson stand out. Over the years, I've also been very fond of many diverse bands and songwriters (The Doors; The Beatles; Bowie; Neil Young; Deep Purple; Led Zep; Patti Smith; U2; The Police; Massive Attack; Chemical Brothers; Killing Joke; Marillion; Morphine; Nirvana; The Young Gods; Dominique A; Noir Désir, Conil, Aurora ...). 
More related to my own synth music production, one could find influences from Vangelis, Jarre, Björk, Oldfield, Numan, Kraftwerk, Schultze and other pioneers. Finally, I should mention the great soundtrack composers such as Ennio Morricone, Wendy Carlos or Hans Zimmer.
Above all those great musicians stands the beloved statue of Ludwig van Beethoven, the visionary, the prodigy, the most sensitive man.

My desire is to be a tiny part of the admirable family of human composers and musicians in order to explore the infinity of musical combinations that our mind offers... To achieve this goal, I will continue to mix my own set of diverse influences in my own imperfect human way, without surrendering to any type of AI composer. My approach questions the astonishing way in which skills, sensitivity, aesthetic and personal history provide the fuel and oxygen for our creativity, while chance, curiosity and current feelings provide the spark. What matters the most is the process, not the result, the “product”.
My pieces will always reflect the result of hundreds of micro-choices I made, consciously or unconsciously, that's what makes it fun, right?
Feel free to comment or criticize my plethoric prod because reading your feedbacks is the only reward I expect.

Thanks for taking the time to listen. 

I'm continuing to enjoy creating some new indulgently electronic music after a 30-odd year gap in proceedings, unashamedly inspired by my 1980's music heroes.  
 
I am proud to be a former and founder member of Big Big Train along with Greg Spawton and Andy Poole. 

Prior to BBT, in the days of cassette recorders and some very dodgy vocals, Andy and I were 'Arcshine'. 

Having hung up the keyboards in circa 1993 I blew the dust off of them again in February 2022. 

Hope you enjoy the new offerings, and the old ones.

Gwyddion Flint: British interdisciplinary artist, writer and electronic musician performing under the name Xanadüüm. Please view my Bandcamp page for Official Releases. Link below.

Recently reviewed by Electronic Sound Magazine for the album: inverted Terrain, and featured on DJ Lola Haro's Kiosk Radio liveset from Brussels.

Back in 2013 Gwyddion Flint collaborated with David Tibet from the experimental band ‘Current 93’ in creating a sound installation at the Eastbourne's Redoubt for the exhibition: Archive Fever in the South of England.

The film ‘Brutalist’, a contemporary dance, electronic music and spoken word film was created in conjunction with ‘Collabs’, a London-based platform (headed by producer Dan Lowenstein) for arts collaboration of all kinds, utilising Gwyddion's poem ‘In the City of My Body’ to create an experimental film and dance work in 2018 utilising electronic music. (Can be viewed on  YouTube and Vimeo) 

Gwyddion has exhibited his visual artwork nationally in the U.K. and is now beginning to exhibit internationally, along with his poetry and other writing currently available through Amazon (under the title: A Hymn to Proteus) and publishing platform Medium.

His artwork is heavily influenced by Buddhism, philosophy, psychology and future technologies. Previous works have included psycho-geographical and hoax art elements, such as the Hopwas Project, where he buried two copper plates and other occult artifacts in a Staffordshire woodland that were later found and written about in local newspapers and online, sparking an interest into the woodland’s past that became international.

Despite some of the more elaborate artworks and installations that he has created he always comes back to pencil drawing, poetry and prose as his main source of inspiration. 

His poetry is primarily created as spoken word works to be accompanied by synth soundscapes and imagery, both live and recorded initially encouraged by a chance meeting with Alan Moore.

He is a qualified yoga instructor and practices and teaches vipassana meditation which he studied while living in various monasteries for a year and a half as a Buddhist monk and later while living and traveling in South East Asia and India.
