'Cover art' by Neal Visher [Isolated Ground Receptacle] and Barry Snaith [The Inconsistent Jukebox]!

here I am
[dying in the killing jar]
want to be
[breathing in heaven’s air]
don’t you need
[something more than promises]
don’t you care
[intangible and nevermore]

you led me to your alcove
‘lest I never sleep
bracing for indemnity
a porous watch I keep
and though I never doubt you
my fears are e’er there
a bastion of suspicions,
solace, and despair

here I am
[dying in the killing jar]
want to be
[breathing in heaven’s air]

This tune is a work-in-progress--one of which I lost all of the original stems and tracks in a horrid hard drive crash. I am open to remixes, additions, and collaborations of it. Please let me know what you do with it!

Galaxy 22 (Featuring Jon Lock on Bass)

It was a real pleasure collaborating with Jon on this..... Upon first listening to the track he sent me, i was really drawn in by the beautiful sound of the descending guitar chords and flowing bass line. 
Jon creates fantastic songs, has a great ear, and plays a whole bunch of different instruments really really well.. Have a listen here: https://soundcloud.com/jon-lock-5

Establishment Blues (Jon Lock Collaboration)

The music: Tangent Nine is an ambient rock and pop duo made up of Michael Ash Sharbaugh from the United States and Adrian Hallam from Australia. Both are synthesists; both play guitar. The music they create surges with unique creativity: it bubbles with contemporary folk, avant-garde, and electronic influences, and is available for your listening pleasure here, on this page.

Composer, Singer/Songwriter of ethereal folk, dreamy ambient and chilled out electronica .

I first started posting my music on Soundcloud in late 2012. 

I've found it to be a very inspiring and supportive community of music creators. 

I have also made friends with great people and collaborated with some really talented artists on here.

Thanks to all who support - It means a lot to me :)
