Here is a Cover version of Atlas by Faux Tales, the original of which, was used in the soundtrack to the new Star Citizen 'Imagine' Video. I thought I'd do a slightly different Orchestral Mix version as I felt the original lent itself to such a mix....... and as I had a couple of hours this Christmas Night free in the studio, this is what I came up with...

This is the edited version of "Transitions Via Evolution" for the AudioSex Album

Transitions Via Evolution (Album Version)

A piece from the new Soundtrack for "Moments of Beauty" that I'm currently working on...

Performed on various Hardware Synths at the 'Closet' Jan 2016 

Brief Glimpses of Light

An ambient album has been made by 11 talented members from the audiosex.pro audio engineering and music community.

The album features a diverse soundscape from deep atmospheric sounds, to dark and terrifying ambiences up towards a more uplifting and spirited journey and back down to a nostalgic and eerie vibe.

I hope everyone who listens to this album enjoys it thoroughly or at least finds something in there that they like.

"The Art Of Sound is the sound of one man..... who strives to put melody back in the forefront of songs without words. Gentle, mellow rhythmic lines that interwine with soulful melodies.. you find yourself still humming hours later..." 

The Art Of Sound was originally formed back in England in the mid 70's as a group of people who wanted to promote the use of synthesizers in both modern and classical music. Later on the group split up and went their separate ways but one founder member, Nigel Sixsmith, carried on working, under the name "The Art Of Sound", writing and performing music for the Synthesizer for over 40 years.. 

This profile has been set up for him to share some of the many songs he has written in the hope that others will find as much enjoyment listening to his music as he has, making it..
