Sequent 7 is a diary of my wanderings in the labyrinth of sound and noise that is sometimes called music.
Influences
I'm sure we all have many more influences than we ever realize - influences both good and bad. Here are a few names off my 'good' list. I think for an artist, deep inspiration goes far beyond direct inspiration so really, this list should include things such as books, art, films, nature, the quest for spirit and the sacred, the power of good friends and close family, good food and good wine. You get the picture. But I'll just keep it about music here.

My aim is to become a better audio alchemist and a better navigator within the grand stream. I would like to be a truer creative conduit for that force which seeks to express itself through me. If I can achieve some small real measure of these I will be content.
Instruments played include a handful of synthesizers (both hardware and virtual, vintage and new), Native American flutes, recorders, ocarina, ethnic and folk flutes, harps, guitars, dulcimer, psaltery, and various percussion. Or - as it is sometimes said: whatever it takes! One of my hopes is to work with a real female vocalist (instead of just virtual) as well as other world musicians if I meet the right people.
I liked it "Hohenheim", as well as "Alla prima ...". The latter has reminded me a lot of Tangerine Dream, and the sounds that you are very good. I like your music. A big greeting from Barcelona
Hello Wes, It is a pleasure for me too! Your work is very nice and worth of note in the musical panorama. Glad to be your friend, thanks! Hear you soon
Happy to meet you! Your music is so beautiful and exciting. I like very much your Mediterranean atmosphere and the way in which you compose. Thank you for accepting my request. Greetings from Sicily Fabio
Thanks double Wes...First for the Grammikoi Alpha comment and second for this...I feel glad when i find people who observe Music and not just listen to, this shows that you have very good Musical ear and thats a gift my friend...
And yes you are right about the different tastes of playing because i listen to various of styles of Music...anyway i think music is one, You can do anything you want within a piece of Music and im shure you understand this very well.
Good luck with whatever you may do (Musically or not) and keep in touch.
Wes this is the nicest comment we ever get here, it seems that you've checked our Music profile really well and that honoured us. I will transfer the comment to our guitarist and im shure that he will be VERY glad about it.
We try to express our emotions and also give as more Musicianship as we can, now we are recording our second album which it will be a step forward. Your Soundscapes are also very nice to listen. All the best to you and your Music and keep in touch.
