A sun spiral is an ancient shamanistic symbol representing our Sun. In this surreal and futuristic fantasy, our protagonist witnesses an actual sun spiral.

A deliberately dark ambient piece, created with thoughts of Tolkien's High Fells of Rhuadar in mind, and the tombs of the Nazgul. There they lay, undying, in tombs so remote and so dark...

A very simple vocal from me, and one of my Apple loop mixes / compositions. Spread your wings.

This is one of my Apple loop mixes/compositions. It had kind of magical, slightly ethereal feel to it. The free artwork I found seemed to suit the track perfectly.

I've tried to evoke a sense of unease for the listener as they travel through this dimly lit, seemingly endless industrial tunnel. I'd say I drew inspiration from the all-time greats at this kind of music, Tangerine Dream.

A reflective rock instrumental, thinking about our place in the universe and our own Milky Way. Through you, and all of us, the universe knows itself just a little bit more for each day of our lives. The Earth is always spinning as it moves around our own star - The Sun - and our entire Solar System moves around the centre of our galaxy - The Milky Way - every 230,000,000 years. Then, of course, t...

The Old Mountain is so beautiful and mysterious, a long abandoned Incan citadel in the Peruvian Andes. I have not yet visited, but hopefully one day... This is one of my Apple loop mixes/compositions. ---------- Image: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Peru_Machu_Picchu_Sunrise_2.jpg

Synths and reggae...electro reggae. The main reggae track was created using Novation LaunchPad, with a couple of simple but playful synth leads added.

Does anyone use wallpaper any more? ------- All synths played manually in Logic. Just synths, no other instruments.

Live in the moment...

Alone under the stars... One of my Apple loop mixes/compositions.

An emotional rock instrumental dedicated to migrants everywhere. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" From "The New Colossus", Emma Lazarus, 1883

Some lightning fast groove metal for you. Image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning#/media/File:Mikalojus_Konstantinas_Ciurlionis_-_LIGHTNING_-_1909.jpg

Child of morning, rosy-fingered dawn, appears full of mystery and full of promise. Nod to Homer's 'Odyssey'. This is one of my Apple loop compositions.

The future trembles in my mind, forever at its start...

An ambient fantasy about a getaway island...

A metal track not to be taken seriously...seriously! ------------ A sample of Vogon poetry to go with your listening pleasure (From Douglas Adams' marvellous Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy): Oh freddled gruntbuggly, Thy micturations are to me, (with big yawning) As plurdled gabbleblotchits, in midsummer morning On a lurgid bee, That mordiously hath blurted out, Its earted jurtles, grumbling Into...

Time for something a bit weird, a bit alien almost. This augmented human is still human...just. The augmentation head gear is religious, a sign of devotion and connection to The One And The Zero - a being of supreme quantum artificial intelligence, itself rumoured to have once been human.

The sound of incessant and repetitive work, portrayed through dark industrial dubstep. --------------- Image taken from: "Power house mechanic working on steam pump" (1920) - Lewis Hine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Hine#/media/File:Lewis_Hine_Power_house_mechanic_working_on_steam_pump.jpg

Lost and abandoned buildings exist in every city. This is a homage to them. ----------- The core dubstep backing track was created in Novation LaunchPad, with additional manual industrial sounding synths and two rock guitar tracks played by me via my iPad touchscreen.

Analog synths and rich arp and pad layers creating majestic space love...

This is one of my Apple loop mixes/compositions. A rock piledriver. -------- Check out this Piledriver: https://picryl.com/media/pile-driver-being-used-in-bridge-construction-france-during-world-war-i

I'm a huge fan of H.P. Lovecraft, and found myself playing "atmospheric" synth instruments in Logic Pro X which just sounded wonderfully creepy and alien. Before long, the track morphed into this fan tribute to one of my favourite Lovecraft stories. I hope you enjoy it. ------------- Image: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Phillips_Lovecraft#/media/File:Rhan-Tegoth_by_Borja_Pindado.jpg

I had the phrase 'wheels of industry' turning in my head, so I decided to do an industrial metal track to capture the thought. I took it back to the industrial revolution, pictured here in 19th century Germany. I used Novation Launchpad, creating three tracks with different master production effects which I then layered (and sometimes double-tracked), and added some electronic bass sequencer and r...

It's been a while since Per (Son Of Axe - https://soundcloud.com/persito-1) and I collaborated on a track, but boy am I glad we did! I gave Per a bare bones backing track, from which he created this wonderful rock vocal. Fantastic work my friend! Per is the heart and soul of this track! Lead Guitars - Persito León (totally sweet guitars, my friend) Vocal & Lyrics - Persito León Piano, bass, drums...
