For Kuba. I'm not quite sure how to categorise this music. Originally it was going to be Orchestral Trance but it took on a life of its own. This track is quite different from much of my earlier music: I've spent a lot more time focussing on sound design and this track is the result of that effort. Listening to it, I think that it would probably sound better if its structure was a bit simpler, but...

An instrumental version of Beacons of Hope

The first track in a new project celebrating the best qualities in each of us. (This is a reissue to remove a few infelicitous seconds midway through the track!)

i think this is the best version of this track. It was inspired by images of firefighters, special military units and others -- including volunteers -- who've been fighting the forest fires in Tenerife and elsewhere. I, like many others, am grateful that in this world there are people who risk their lives in service to their communities. The singer is a software artifact, created and polished usin...

This is a track ispired by a picture of a fireman. This is an experimental version with lyrics, sung by my computer using three different bits of software in an attempt to mimic a human voice. I'm sure a real person could do better!

A track about someone who smies in th face of personal danger

A track inspired by my partner who encourages me to pursue this passion. The melody is based on Beethoven's German Dance No9 in E flat major. However this track is in G Major and the melody is in 4/4 time not the 3/4 of Beethoven's day. It also has a completely different set of chords. Although I tried to stay close to the original, every bar has two or three extra notes. The chord changes led to...

QT is a friend who likes to take long walks and to run. QT can outrun anyone I know. She has a wonderful loving, friendly personality and is a delight to be with... The percussion section is a litte bit different from the normal trance beat..

A collection of dance tracks inspired by my love of exercise and fitness! The picture is the road where my gym is located! This track is dedicated to Andrés who gave me a warm welcome when I returned after an absence due to the pandemic and,,,because he likes to dance..

A remix of Tenerife Spring. I was experimenting with different sound designs and mastering techniques,

A renix. I was experimenting with different sound designs and mastering techniques,

Some new tracks and some remixes I've been working on over the past few months -- plus some new ones. This celebrates recovery from illness. Most track have a similar sound design.

A remix of the track Teide from a few weeks ago,,

This track celebrates a beautiful bird that fills the sky with sound at dusk.

One of my favourite activities is relaxing with friends and watching the world go by.

A track inspired by trips to Mt Teide, at the top of the huge volcano that is Tenerife. From the seafloor to the top of the volcano rises some 24,600 feet or 3,715 metres. That's over 12,000 feet above sea level. The volcano was once much bigger; Teide sits in the centre of a vast caldera which was created when the top of the original volcano was blown apart in a massive explosion millions of year...

Spring in Tenerife is a magical time of year. This track was written in celebration of that.

I've withdrawn the original version and replaced it with this remix. The main difference is that it's now possible to hear the fx..

A track inspired by memories of partying in the snow

Just what it says: an extended versionof a Spendid Day

An alternative version of a Spendid Day

A track inspired by a perfect day with my partner.

A shorter (and better?) version of Working in the Woods

Inspired by two gay Canadian You-tubers who I watch every week as they build a sustainable, off-grid home in the forests of Nova Scotia.

This started out as a remix of track I made last year but ended up being completely different. It contains some variations on the tune by Robbie Burns. This is the second reissued version (29 NOv 2022). I wasn't happy with my first two attempts.
