I have been producing ambient/chill out music for the last 20 years.
In 2005 my 31st album 'Enchanted Egypt' was released (my 3rd collaboration with Egyptian Percussion master Hossam Ramzy).
If you would like to see in depth info on all my CD and DVD releases please go to my web site
where you will find a full discography etc..
For the last 10 years the music has had an increasingly ethnic/world music flavour taking in sounds and performances from Arabic,Tibetan,Native American,Brazilian Capoeira,Eastern European and
Australian Musicians to create a unique and diverse catalogue of albums and sound tracks.
I am also part of the Earthdance
production team responsible for the 'Buddha Experience' chill out compilation albums as well as the 'Zen Beats' DVD and the Capoira album for the Spiritual Vitamins label.
Please have a look at our 'Earthdance' web site for more details.
I enjoy blending electronic / electric textures in to the mix. I got my first synthesiser
back in 1973 and have been exploring the possibilities ever since !!
Back in the early 80's I founded an experimental group expandis dedicated to producing synth/guitar based music from punk influenced songs through to ambient soundscapes, which led me in to the world of 'New Age' music where I have been able to
develop my current 'world music' sound.

DERWOOD GREEN

Marlatt and Kathleen Crowley performing

I have been enjoying Nexus Tribal. Well worth waiting for my Dear! Duma Sa Duma is multifaceted and richly layered. The stereophonic shifts and slight reverberation, make it feel like a live performance in an intimate venue. Hauntingly ethereal vocals and interesting tempo changes, give this piece a feeling of an epic story unfolding. The acceleration and tension of the tempo to a frantic crescendo, followed by a slow exhale give a satisfyingly ending to an impressive auditory journey.
A sumptuous slice of the perfection I have come to expect from your work, and again, well worth the wait. Thanks!
We are finally ready to start promoting my 'I Surrender' single with my album, 'Ella Trip' coming right after -yey!! What d'ya think to the video teaser?
