    :) Hi to all, This is intended as a musical meditation with just a little bit of an edge to it. I've used a variety of quite unusual all-acoustic instruments, recorded using a half-decent microphone while being processed with painstakenly chosen, sympathetic effects to enhance the atmosphere...

    Does this need any other instruments? (I can't quite make my mind up)

    :D Hi all, I recorded this a while ago and I'm pretty happy with it as it is, plus I actually like the fact that it's only guitars (up to 11 at a time in parts) and multiple drum machine parts. On occasions though, I listen and feel that just maybe it needs something like a Bass guitar coming in...

    MOVIES in 3D are coming big-time! List and article LINK for you……

    :D Hi to all you film buffs out there, A short while ago, the film 'Beowulf' was released in super-duper 3D (although I didn't actually see it!) and it got me thinking that if the 3D effect was as good as they say, then how long would it be until all films are made in 3D. Well apparently, big...

    FOETUS DREAMING – No instruments used on this track…DOES THIS WORK?

    :) To all dreamers out there in cloud cuckoo land, I'm wondering if people here find this to be an interesting idea that works well, or just a waste of time. Here's the background to it: A few years ago I put together a short piece of sound-art for entry into the Big Art Challenge 2004...

    :) A big hi to you all once again, I've just put a new track up on Soundclick titled From Nowhere To Here And Back Again. This is definitely not for everyone, but does it scare you or are you of the opinion that this isn't music at all? A dark filmic soundscape using cymbals, primal howls...

    Why is it sometimes FUN to be SCARED?

    ;) Oooooooh, scary messages today - I wonder why. Why do we like horror films, amusement park rides and (you guessed it) Halloween? Apparently, researchers have discovered that a look of horror makes a faster first impression on our brains than a smile. Our brains become aware of fearful...
