Sonic Odyssey: A journey into creative sound making


@2pm on Reform Radio


Funded by Manchester Adult Education Service


We spent 2 weeks learning, making, trying new things, eating subway in order to create a piece of music. This show demonstrates the diversity in each individual"s sound world but also our collective spirit in our love of tunes.


Expect some vampire synths, some bobby wobblers, funky swans, 90"s RnB and moreish sonic sojourns.

Sonic Odyssey 21st April 2023

Hey all! Here's a new original that's been in the works for a while. This time it's a Mega Drive based one, using the furnace tracker.
This track was inspired by a lot of games from the Mega drive era, I'm very happy with how it all turned out.

Massive thank you to SabreFlash64 for helping me with one part

With that being said, I hope you all enjoy!

Orchestral dream

Una favola rosa

This song was produced as an homage to early 1980s post disco. Using classic sounds and gear such as the Linn LM-1 drum machine,  Arp Odyssey, and Prophet 5 synthesize. Using funk chords, and an uptempo beat yields a sound reminiscent of the early 1980s post disco sound.

Esta es una de mis obras echas con mariachi al estilo huapango 

El Huapango del guayabo

A track I recorded in my home studio in 1986 using 16 track midi sequencer played in real-time and recording on Fostex A8LR Reel to Reel 8 track analog deck making the piece a 24 track recording.The DAT master had lots of digital noise but cleaned up and mastered using iZotope RX7 Advance and Neutron 3.

Nocturnal Sojurn Master

A happy tune I wrote in October 10, 1985. Just found the DAT tape 2 days ago.
