When I was a child my grandma had an old upright piano, I found that if I stood on the peddle and played the two lowest notes on the keyboard, first one and then the other, between those two notes are other sounds resonating in-between and through the gross stuff of the bass notes. That resonance, those sounds could take me to other worlds like no other thing could. Well that’s what Building The Cathedral Sounds like (only now with more notes)

Ok I now have a web site buildingthecathedral.com I have a download section where I have provide the albums I currently have. This is a donation based system So feel free to point your browsers at it and have a look Feel free to provide any feed back here on myspace regarding the site or the music

For most of my life I have lived in an area dedicated to heavy industry of one kind or another, mines, steel mills, wire factory’s and the trains on which I used to work. So the sound of metal screaming crashing, banging, sometimes being destroyed sometimes being turned into something new. The heavy engines’ moving coal and people around was a major part of my life. Then a day came when I heard for what seemed like first time the beauty of all this sound. For a while it sounded like I was in some vast cathedral, which was constantly under construction.

I decide to capture some of what I heard that day in these musical constructions, by using loops, synthesizes and samples all controlled by a guitar synth, interspersed in heavily distorted electric guitar

Why loops, well because engines move in circles it seemed to be natural for the project but I added some spice to this by arranging the loops not to trigger on a known metre and this added an element of surprise (well surprise to me) to the tracks and took them into strange directions.

I have always been better at expressing myself on the guitar than keyboard and to find how far midi guitars have come since I last looked to get one came as a complete surprise. With the ability to attach the guitar to a computer opens up a whole world of possibilities in music creation.

Well The second CD is out
Beautiful long evolving guitar synth loops and samples with sci-fi flavour this time.
This, the second project CD extends my work in the area of loops and sample but this time I have created huge developing sounds to live in my cathedral environment.

Oh and if anyone’s wondering,
