ABOUT THE MUSIC

What started out as a passion for poetry and creative writing soon developed into a passion for music and the desire to put a melody to the lyrics i had been constantly writing. I am a graduate in Religion and Ethics and have a tendency to write in an almost esoteric way about mystical themes but not always. I am a realist writer and write about anything i feel is relevant and poignant. I have recorded many tracks which have been mostly demos but have made some complete tracks. I play all the instruments apart from the occasions where my engineer has played bass.

Book of Shadows was the first album created. This came in 2006 after a 3 year period funded mostly with student funds. This album being the most overtly pop. This is also very close to my heart as all the things that have happened in my life is written down amongst these songs.

The Nocturnicon was the second album i made. This came in 2007 and was a complete introspection. It was my way of evaluating my life and assessing how far i had come as an individual and my strengthening belief systems and values. For the most part these album is very dark in tone but ultimately the lyrics say it all.

The third album was called The Bionic I. This was very first time i had recorded using only computers, synths/keyboards and electronic effects. It was my goal to rid myself of physical instruments like the guitars and keys and focus purely on making a futuristic sounding album. This album has been so much fun to make and was even more great the fact that it was made in the comfort of my own home. The concept of this album is the future; machines; space and how man focuses too much on trying to figure out the universe and never focusing on developing himself or exploring his own inner cosmos.

2009 saw the arrival of Alone in the Dark...the newest album. A series of instrumentals. This was the second electronica album. This album was the result of being more confident with the equipment i was using. I was able to capture how i was feeling emotionally at the time very well and was able to put that into these songs. Created, once again, in the comfort of my living room with valuable input from 2-3 close friends this album is, therefore, a more emotional album. In places it seems very subdued and sombre... but that is how i was feeling at the time. I find it hard to write songs that don't have ME or my experiences in them. I chose the title of the album when lay alone in bed one night and thought to myself "Even though we surround ourselves with people and material possessions we do actually go through our lives on our own..." And it's true. We're the only ones who can hear our thoughts.. our own mind. We are the only ones in total control of our lives.

The fifth album was called "Portal." A pretty dark sounding album. Very claustrophobic in feel and very dense. It's an album to play by candlelight to get the full effect of the tracks. The songs were all recorded at home and recorded over a 2 month period. It's a mostly instrumental album bar from Sirius which features vocals by Primal Muse and The Pit and The Pendulum which samples Basil Rathbone's recitation of Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem.

A compilation CD called Synthesised: A Collection was put together featuring tracks from all the albums that have been released so far. Following a short break, work then began on a new album.

A new single entitled "Dark City" was released on 5th November 2009 as a prelude to the forthcoming new record of the same name.

And thus, 2010 will see the release of the new album "Dark City" which shows a deep maturation of the electronic sound explored on the previous 3 records. Hooks plentifully abound and the soundscape is dark yet highly accessible. The dark-electro sound is far greater than anything that has come before.

To the future... i don't know what is in store but i'm dead excited to find out.

i really hope those bastards get everything thats coming to them ash. i wish they knew what a wonderful person they caused pain. its really shitty that people like that only view you as a sexual orientation and skip all the many other facets that make up a person. i bet if one of them had ever talked to you without knowing youre gay they would have liked you off the bat. its so wrong.

ash that leaves me shaken and upset. and disgusted. its really hard to believe just how vile and repulsive people can be. i am really really sorry to hear that happened to you and adam. it makes me want to hunt those motherfuckers down and give them a taste of their own medicine. but i digress. that would make me just as bad as them. in any case you'll be in my thoughts.
sending positive vibes your way. <3
