Aotea Sound Lab

I have created Aotea Sound Lab as an expressive vehicle to produce musical compositions in a digital format, drawing on experiences from a performance background gained during the 70s and early 80s.

During those years I expanded on my earlier musical experiences from playing cornet with brass bands when 11 years old, to a variety of other instruments. These included trumpet, flute, tenor sax, keyboards and percussion played with a succession of bands spanning contemporary jazz, dance and cabaret, pub-rock, classical and new wave.

2007 - After taking time out to indulge in the art of Correct Listening the time has come to return to the world of musical endeavour.

Using the trusty Apple Mac-mini driven by an Axiom 49 MIDI keyboard I am exploring the creation of 'soundscapes' using Digital Audio editing and recording software.

On the player above are some tracks from the EP album BLACK BEACH that I have recently released. These compostions are mainly influenced by the power and beauty of the local environment and the black ironsand beaches of Aotea Harbour where I now live; on the wild, wet and windy west coast of New Zealand.

New Material On the player is a new track - "Damned" (full title "Damned if You Don't"). Myfirst effort with writing lyrics and also my first collaboration with another MySpace artist. Many thanks to the Dsider for laying down the vocal track!
