Thoughtful downtempo trance and ambient psybient, without the generic thumping basslines. Crystalline melodies and frozen beats.
Schrödinger's Dog is the current incarnation of my music project -- previously known as Anechoic Frame, Care of Machine and Glamour Systems -- something which I've dabbled in for many years, but have only been seriously working on since around mid-2002.
I have never had any formal music training, and so everything I do has been self-taught. My musical philosophy means that I use software almost exclusively; the only music hardware I ever employ is a MIDI keyboard, and even then, sparingly. I am particularly keen on using tools that other people may dismiss as amateurish, reasoning that a good artist can produce quality work with even the simplest of tools; it's something of a self-set challenge for me.
This idea also extends to encompass things outside of the PC; I've created music using the PS1 and PS2 consoles, and even the GBA.
Usually when I begin to write a track, I don't have a specific idea in mind; in fact, a lot of the time, I just make a start and see how things shape up -- it's a journey, of sorts, though it doesn't always have the best results. I feel that music can be more expressive than words, and I try and reflect something of my personality and current mood in every song I write.
I'm also a photographer/artist, and sometimes work in video. I've uploaded a selection of my images to the photos section of this page.
Finally, it's worth noting that I'm a Buddhist, and my beliefs affect everything I do, from the most subtle way to the most overt. Music is a form of communication, and all communication necessarily reflects the voice and person of the author.

hey there mate, greetings from melbourne! i like your sound, very smooth. did you do the vocals yourself?
hehe, i see what you mean, our influences are... identical. its like irrespective of what we have heard, we each have our own song that come out when we produce. it also seems you suffer the same constraints as me...
Thanks for the add, nice sound you have, just a little.. plain to my ears. It has originality certainly, but at the same time it's like a big massive well carved shining crystal bowl but nothing in it..
