  • Bio

    I began making electronic music as part of a duo called SEPTEMBER'S ROOM - which started in the very distant past as a guitar driven band. SEPTEMBER'S ROOM's page can be accessed from my top friends below. ................................................................................................................................................ UPDATE 2 October 2011 ............................................................................................................................................... The following one minute pieces have formed part of 60x60 - http://www.voxnovus.com/60x60/ "Tantallon" - 2009 International Mix "Sublight" - 2010 International Mix "Communication Satellites" UnTwelve 2010 "Angel moments" 2011 International Mix ............................................................................................................................................... "Weightless Hours" is finally finished - a release date should be announced shortly. It was a long, very productive period, though it still took a lot of time to shape the album that I wanted - There's more than enough new material for a further album soon after, I'm pleased to say. I took a short break from more introspective pieces to remix "Sex on the Dancefloor" by MetalTech who had their debut release on Alex Tronic Records last year. It was a lot of fun. ((^_>^) [ I edited out the songs other than the one minute piece Tantallon, my piece with Rebecca Sharp featuring her voice and haiku in the 2009 International Mix. ] ................................................................................................................................................ NEU ZONDE, also linked from below, is for my louder material. ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ KOSMOS KOLLECTIF's "Use Your Imagination" is on my remix page and I was really pleased to be able to work with Jude Fitzgerald's vocal talents . ............................................................................................................................................... ................................................................................................................................................ A remix of DROIDLOCKS' track Black Metal is on my remix page. I seriously enjoyed doing it. Alexandra has a great voice and Sam is a great songwriter IMVHO. The release date is yet to be confirmed. ............................................................................................................................................... ............................................................................................................................................... THE CD "ALTERED CARBON" IS ON ALEX TRONIC RECORDS - ATRCD105 - AND IS AVAILABLE THROUGH A WIDE NUMBER OF OUTLETS. ............................................................................................................................................... ALL TRACKS CAN BE DOWNLOADED NOW FROM A NUMBER OF SITES INCLUDING iTUNES USING THE BUTTON HERE: ...... ............................................................................................................................................... Many special thanks to EDIE1964 for endless encouragement and inspiration. ............................................................................................................................................... ...and I am forever touched by ANEMICINEMA'S beautiful track Les's Context which he dedicated to me. ............................................................................................................................................... ...thank you too to POSITIVE TRANSIT who have added two of my other tracks into one of the players on their page.

      Hi Asa!!!!!!!!!!....  It's lovely to hear from you...  I hope that all is going swimmingly in Swansea.  I was ill with a chest infection for a fair while - and following a sunbreak in Gran Canaria I was deep into music work...   Yes an overhaul is in order for me too....   I'm still struggling to make my MySpace functional since the change all that time ago...  !!!!  BTBW is this coming Thursday...    It still feels really odd that there's no Asa there!!!! xx

I changed my working name from Gestalt to Neu Gestalt a few years ago to differentiate myself from a Japanese band (and a few others later) of the same name.

NEU ZONDE, also linked from below, is for my louder material. ................................................................................................................................................ BATTINA PYRE kindly used my music as a soundtrack to her alien entity encounters video on her page. ................................................................................................................................................ KOSMOS KOLLECTIF's "Use Your Imagination" is on my remix page and I was really pleased to be able to work with Jude Fitzgerald's vocal talents . ............................................................................................................................................... I've recently finished working on a remix of an ASA (Asa Seljestad) track "Child of the Night" for Alex Tronic Records as well as a set of more organic sounding ambient tracks. ................................................................................................................................................ A remix of DROIDLOCKS' track Black Metal is on my remix page. I seriously enjoyed doing it. Alexandra has a great voice and Sam is a great songwriter IMVHO.
