AURORIS

Prog' / Space rock from Staffordshire UK

About Me


My name is Tony and I live in Stoke on Trent Staffordshire, I am a solo independant amateur musician. I learnt classical guitar to grade 5 and over, I tought my self rock guitar as most do by trying to emulate my heros like Dave Gilmour Steve Hackett etc and taught myself keyboards.
I have loved Progressive / Space rock nearly all my life and if there is anything I try to put into my music it is feeling and emotion. I like to create symphonic tracks where the music starts with an idea then moves onto different sections and usually ends different on the last piece, but I tend to keep the length of tracks down, it's what I call my "potted prog".
I like shimmering pulsing lush and warm synth sounds mixed together with melodic and lyrical guitar either to rock or to chill out to. My albums have been sold on EBAY I have even sold to USA!! but I need to try and spread the word and reach more Prog / Space dudes out there. Please note, Aeon is a cut down edited track here, the full version is on my album "Cryogenic Dreams".
For more examples of my material please see my WEBSITE
ACTUALLY THINKING OF JAMMING WITH HUMANOIDS JUST NOW, IF THERE ARE ANY LIKE-MINDED DRUMMERS / KEYBOARDISTS OUT THERE, IN THE VERY NEAR LOCALITY, WITH SOMEWHERE PRACTICAL TO MAKE SOME NOISE,...................What d' ya think???????, message me here, and we'll chew it over,.....
AURORIS track "Cerebral Vortex" on Terry Hawke's compilation CD, plus many more other artists, this is a great taster for Space rock and Ambient electronic music!!!! : ) HAWKE CHILL OUT SESSIONS CD this one won't break the bank either!!! ; )
