Hi guys! I'm back!

I've been away but I've still been busy making music and learning new things. I must say, the last year I've focused a lot on electronic music as opposed to guitar (ironic this being a guitar forum )

Anyway, what do you guys think of this?

Very cool stuff!!! Very refreshing Can you give us some breakdown on all the influences at play here? Also, are you working on your next cd/compliation/release?

Hey Todd!

A lot of my influences have been electronic acts, like Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Tycho and The Flashbulb. I've really taking a liking to chilled atmosphere and general sound design (the flexibility and power of synthesis is UNREAL). The violin is in fact a MIDI sample violin that I sequenced.

At the moment, I'm not really making a CD/compilation/release. I just want to release a steady stream of singles, so that each song can get maximum exposure (I found that in the past, when I released CD's, there was only 1 or 2 songs that people actually listened to).

I can hear the influences Very new and fresh sounding. I like how you've taken your own sound and melded it with your influences. Can't wait to hear more

I"m with you on not releasing cds, just as a marketing idea, maybe take your singles and at the end of each year simply declare them a compilation or album etc. and via bandcamp and itunes release it as an item.

Hi mate! This sounds beautiful! I have two questions:

1- what vstis are you using for these sounds?
2- Have you ever thought on offering your music to site that sells licences for tv and cinema?
