This is the leader of my orchestra. Unlike sequencers, such as Cubase, IT is a tracker - the music takes a 'pianola' form, and in addition to MIDI output, sounds can come from the internal sampler. For a closer inspection, click a screenshot (loft) or follow the link (above) to the official website.

Not an album, in the true sense, but a précis of my works at Trinity College, Dublin (so far). Largely, these are a collection of studies and exercises, though most pieces by their own right - and includes some of my best work to date. Pieces include my first foray into live recording, synthesizer design and a return to more classical orchestration.

Before starting at I'm currently in the process of adding the finishing touches to this album, but so far, all is going well. All tracks have been / will be mixed, providing over one solid hour of, without doubt, my best work to date. The mastering stage has also been substantially improved since the last album. I feel that a bit more work and a studio session or two might elevate it into the nashNET top 40.

There's an incredible variety of styles on this CD, perhaps too many for one album - club, Irish, easy, drum n' bass and more. Nonetheless it charts a big leap towards professional sounding music, if, as a couple of reviews hinted, a bit weak in the final mixing. With these tunes, my music has begun to take on a quality other than the somewhat sentimental fact that I carved it with my own hands - I find myself treating it as another album in my CD collection... and also discover a small fan base!

Almost all the tracks on this collection pre-date the arrival of MIDI synthesizers to my 'studio' - and it shows. However, some tracks formed the foundation of later album pieces, and I believe others are worthy of a re-hash one day. Also includes a small classical suite.
