About Me

June 2009 Doings: Decided to drop the T E initials as there really isn't any danger of being online confused with an ex head of the FBI or a present day ghost hunter [and besides the reverse form "Yrret Ksif" sounds a lot more like my personal mantra] / Reloaded the player with seven favourite instrumentals [last track has two parts "Valentines Day" and "Valentines Night"] / * for more on [the year of] The Long Shot see p534 & p535 "The Secret Language of Birthdays" Goldschneider & Elffers Viking Studio Books 1994:..HOW, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and WHY... Having managed to avoid going public with my music hobby because of the sheer number of people with domestic, social and financial backup "doing music" professionally these days as well as the many with formal theory qualifications and advanced recording equipment involved in the music field, I finally decided to scratch that itch.Whether what follows is of much interest to the general consumer is debatable but it feels good to finally get some stuff out there so... ON DISPLAY are music and lyric ideas that jumped from the casual day dream area of the brain to the long term memory part without warning or apparent justification free of any current means to take beyond demos. It's my particular take on the Unthinkable, the Winds, the Flames, the Rains, the Darkness, the Pressure and the Cold of being Back In Flesh and as I've always loved an atmospheric melody and an emotionally involving arrangement that hooks listener attention it should be "interesting" to read reactions. BECAUSE restarting creative enthusiasm is a slow process it's going to take some time to get my digital recording act together but in the meantime some back catalogue demos are finally up and streaming to give an intro to my style of composition.
