experimental musician/soundmaker from Apuliae
Born in 1978

Welcome here to everyone.

I hope what you'll hear inspires you.

For your growth or fall
Through the cathartic world of sounds 
that I try to propose. 

A test area 

A search for meaning 
Of this passage for ours.

Sound as a primordial frequency
Before any acquired significance

If what you hear resonates with your tuning fork
A like and a repost would be of great support.

May your journey be pleasant and constructive
in this sea of instants called life

The eternity of our days.



Thank you for visiting my SoundCloud page. Northfield Lenox creates computer / electronic music combining virtual instruments with samples from media archives, radio, and other field & audio recordings.

Classical optimization methodologies  fall short in  large and complex domains.
Starving artist,  empowering  musicians with the new generation of E-Mu sample libraries.  I will make this world  a better place through music and creativity

Before the turnaround (fall of the wall), my parents brought a robotron KC85/3 computer home and I loved it. The sound could only be generated by 2 pulses waveforms, but despite all this, some of the original games had a freaky sound.

Meanwhile, I was playing with a friend with a Commodore 64. I always had a penchant for it and I was also interested in various chiptunes. Nevertheless, later I preferred to go to the roots - composing music with hardware. I handled a lot with the DMC tracker for the C64. I can not say if there was any documentation, but I remember that I found out how some parameters work with my old oscilloscope. I wrote some results for Richard Bayliss - Music Scene Tutorial. 

In 2006 I won the "Battle of the Bits - Winter Chip I" competition in the category SID - which earned me fifty 7" vinyls. At that time my interest in synthesizers of all kinds grew (but in general the focus for 8-Bit machines). 

Further hardware that I procured sequentially and still use today:
- Access Virus A and Virus b
- Korg ESX-1 ( JJ ECC83S tubes )
- Peavey Spectrum Analog Filter
- Waldorf 4-Pole - Ladder and Curtis
- Adafruit's x0xb0x ( modified marOS )
- E-MU Proteus 2000 + XL-Turbo + Roms
- MI Shruthi-1 SMR4-II, CEM3378, Polivoks
- Soulsby's Atmegatron + Odytron
- Behringer Crave ( purged PCB )
- Soundcraft Compact 10 and 4
- Cyclone Bassbot TT-303 v1
- Sixty four pixels CV.OCD
- Twisted Electrons AY3
- Ibanez Echo Shifter 2
- GFI Specular Tempus
- Barber Launch Pad
- Arturia Drumbrute
- Pioneer RMX 1000
- T-Rex Replicator
- T-Rex Replica
- Tapco Blend6
- DMG 01

- Midibox SEQ v4
- Midibox SID v2 ( 6581/8580 )
- Midibox DIY C64 Midi Controller
- Speech Chips: SPO256-AL2, Speakjet

.. and of course a real Commodore 64.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...

For 20 years my electronic music and recording equipment sat packed away...

In the spring of 2015 I was given a broken Korg synth, while researching how to repair it I discovered all these wonderful tools for music and recording. I bought Mixcraft Pro Studio and started composing and recording again with the amazing modern tools of today.

In June 2020 I was honored by Acoustica as their "Mixcraft Featured Artist"
In August 2020 I received my first ever music award. To date I've released multiple singles, 11 albums and copyrighted 175 pieces of music. I've had my music performed in concert and watched people weep real tears while listening to my music. All of this since March 2015.

Please join my musical journey and together lets see where we can go, skytunes.me/signup.html

All my best and warmest regards,
