amb26 is the brainchild of Antony Barnes, who works a full time job whilst making music in his spare time. As a fan of 70s/80s Analogue Synth Artists such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode, he tries to incorporate the sound of those artists while making his style more contemporary. His own sound has evolved from years of tinkering on Yamaha/Casio Portables, and the Commodore Amiga.
In the late 1990s, the Playstation had "Music" and "Music 2000", creation tools which he bought, for people to make music from. A few years, a few memory cards full of music, and two wrecked playstations later, he gave it up. A year or so on, he took the better stuff from that time and made a CD, called "Sonic Experiment". This was sat on a shelf, gathering dust for a few more years, until Antony heard about Podcasting and the Podsafe Music Network. A place for artists to upload music, and give podcasters a free licence to play their music, without paying the extortionate fees associated with mainstream artists.
Antony uploaded "The Grand Prize", and after a couple of plays, kept adding more and more songs. This gave him the confidence to start again, after nearly 5 years of nothing. This has become an album, called "Ministry Of Clodagh" named in honour of his wife.
All the songs are previewable through the music page on my website. Any opinions
are welcome.

Last year I had a vision to type in 5am on Google after completing a track at that moment in time. I found a poem by Allen Ginsberg called 5am which described how I was feeling right then.
So my purpose over the past year has been to capture that 5am vibe in sound and visuals. My journey has been further inspired by the works of Rumi, Maya Deren and Stan Brakhage
Id like to thank everyone who shined their great yellow vibes across my path while making these sounds..... Keep walking that yellow brick road!!!
Fullfilling future memories Here iam in the magic hour I have never seen you so beautiful Always knew this day would come basking into breathtaking sun The sounds of blue and green enriches the sight that i behold As im surrounded by the fields of gold As im surrounded by the fields of gold
