I put most of this together at the end of 2020 as a "test" project for MuLab 8 after making the decision to move to a 64-bit DAW. Then I forgot about it until a couple of months ago when I found it in one of my old project directories. The music was 90% complete, so I revived the project and made a few musical changes in Mulab 9, mixed and mastered it. It's quite slow and more than a little gloomy.

This is another electro/ambient hybrid car-crash. I put it together in April 2023. In March 2024, I decided that it needed to be a little louder, and remastered with a different chain. It's less quiet than the earlier version.

Edit: 20241003 - I remixed this an hour ago, adding a little reverb to the cymbals, and then remastered the track, using the same chain as before.

Paramorph

Paramorph (2024 Remix/2024 TRackS5 Master)

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 (Nov 2024 Remix/Master)

Here is the 2024 remix of my 2022 track, which was originally made for Ambient Online Compilation: Volume 18. The remix consists of Volume and EQ tweaks which were made to (slightly) increase the volume of the original track.

Paramnesia (2024 Remix/2024 Master)

I made this track in April 2023. It features only 2 synths, although there are 8 instances of Rapture, and 2 of Ultra Analog VA-2. Its quite a minimal ambient piece, but with some glitchy synth parts, and quite a dark, dissonant vibe. I hope to include this on an ambient album release later this year.

This track was put together in 2024 for the excellent CC-Undefined Compilation - Illusion which was released February 14 2025.

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.

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)

I put this track together in July 2023, but "time-management" issues delayed its release. Antarctica was the working title for this piece, but during the composition, I kept seeing imagery of creatures from a Sci-Fi movie featuring Vin Diesel. This caused me some small degree of confusion, consternation and disquiet. I would have preferred John Carpenter's milieu.

This is the December 2024 remaster of the early 2024 mix of Extinguished.

extinguished (2024 remaster)

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.
