My music

I hope you enjoy listening to my music as much as I enjoy creating it. It sure takes a long time to create a track and several hours or days more to try to get it sounding right. When so many instruments coming from different sources are involved, it is never easy getting the perfect mix. I will continue refining until I am happy with the results.

​

My music is a combination of various instruments and often with a pronounced bass and drums backing. In a lot of my music, I experiment with exotic instruments and sound effects that can give a unique atmosphere to the tracks. There are some great expansion cards for my synths out there and I am willing to explore more.

Love & Hate section
Calvary

Calvary

This is my first attempt. Though much cruder than later works, it nevertheless has some inspired music with nice melodies

Love & hate
No tracks available yet

Love & Hate

Composed at a time of productivity.  This album is the first one to have all notes meticulously inputted one by one with tight tempo timings

Brave new world section
Brave New World

Brave New World

Sequel to Love & Hate, this album attempts to convey an optimistic view of man's creativity and resourcefulness. Inspired by Aldous Huxley's classic

​

Evolution

Evolution

Evolution-anchor

An attempt to make a record with a more punchy sound. The electric guitar patches are very prominent

Fingerprints section
Evolution

Fingerprints

This albums defines the style that I like most

Brainwaves
Brainwaves-anchor

Brainwaves

A lot of effort has been put in this album and the tracks have been edited many many times. The synthesizer bank is now much more complex and also the effects units

Closer to reality-anchor

Battle stations

Battle Stations

Closer to reality

A follow up to Brainwaves but a bit more aggressive with lots of bass lines

​

Closer to Reality

My next attempt. This is a double CD with the shorter tracks on the first disk. The second CD includes a 13 minute epic orchestral piece. Complex arrangements throughout

Strength & Honour
By intelligent design
Strength and honour section

Inspired by several books I read on the subject and the arguments brought about by the likes of Hawking, Dawkins, Harris and Lennox. The mind boggles! This album has some very long complex tracks and a lot of changes from soft to aggressive music

Strength and Honour

A further attempt before a long break because of lack of time and family problems.  This album is dedicated to all those men who lost their lives for their country and other causes.

Tunnels in my Brain

After retiring from my employment in May 2020, I started working on a new compilation called 'Tunnels in My Brain'.

​

With the COVID pandemic causing huge shifts in our daily habits, I had plenty of time to work at home!

​This work is very loosely based on, and inspired by theories from Freud and others plus the so called ‘threat simulation theory’,  whereby we dream of things that might scare us and therefore, make attempts to defend ourselves and counteract said fears.​

​

Maybe we dream of unconsciously repressed conflicts, but also pleasant wishes which were cultivated in childhood but might still be haunting us at a  ripe age.

Behind the closed door section

Behind the Closed Door

A Moment of Thought

A moment of thought-section

'Behind the Closed Door' serves as a powerful metaphor for the hidden complexities of private lives and what secrets individuals harbour away from the private eye.

This page reflects the reality the world is living in right now when there is danger of serious conflicts between superpowers and the hopes of reaching peaceful settlements look unlikely.
