About Me

SORRY I'M NOT AROUND MUCH!!!

Im really busy right now with building up ambientmusicgarden so Im sorry Im not around to comment on new and existing friends so much. I will get around to accepting your friendship soon :O)

Kesseny music is composed to stimulate emotions; happy, awakening, calming & relaxing.

Here are some of the things people have said about my music to date:

*** "this music takes you to the wild beaches of the carribeans. Very soothing and calming. Gread melody. Would recommed it to any one."

*** "wow, melody is sick. Very cool. So peaceful, i could sleep to this."

*** From Sienna:"Your sounds are like living cells...so organic music!"

*** from antonsmusic Hsinchu, Taiwan; "Tranquil: I looked at the 6.40 time frame of this song and thought: how can they possibly fill all that time and keep it fresh and interesting? But, alas, you can! There is a subtle change in the melody and arrangement every few seconds. One instrument flows into the next, like a river flowing to the ocean, adding a little bit more as she makes her way through mountains, forests and flatlands. The arrangement is good, the song is calm and relaxing. "

*** from Nick and Gerald: "A pleasing Ambient Journey. I liked very much the way this track slowly builds with deftly layered instrumentation and sounds. A lot of attention has been given to the productions values which has paid off by giving this a lot of depth and movement across the sound field. Colors are painted in subtely, drums are pulled in and out just at the right times to create a biit of variety to the pacing, then faded out in time to not become monotenous. This would make really good incidental scene music in films and/or documentarys. Highly professional and definitely some talent here. I enjoyed my journey a lot."

THE AMBIENT AND THERAPY ARTIST CO-OPERATIVE PROJECT.

If you are an ambient artist or a therapy related artist involved in digital creations you might be interested in getting involved in a new site that aims to provide music and healing recordings to therapists and people & groups for private use. If you are, please read my blog and / or mail me for more information.

The project is now underway and the site is up and running. So mail me now to get onboard. This is a trial. Also you wont be asked for money upfront and you can make your own choice about the concept when the trial ends. This isnt a record company nor an iTunes competitor, its about focusing on selling to the therapy and healing market.

ABOUT KESSENY:

I live near the North Cornish Coast where the wind makes the trees grow horizontal, the moors are covered with standing stones and bronze age settlements, the (best) hills have memories of Iron Age fortifications and the beaches are meccas for surfers. Its a great place for inspiration, landscape and the weather.

The word Kesseny means 'harmony' in cornish celtic, I hope you agree that will all the music here is always harmonious and has a melody that can be remembered after the song has been listend to.

My early musical developments were as part of a band called Skin but left before the remaining members reformed as Fluke ( http://www.myspace.com/fluketheband )

Thanks for reading :O)

POLITE WARMING TO SPAMMERS / ABUSERS:

If you mail me inviting me to a girly web cam you will be flagged as spam (not that this will probably bother you). If you put a large advert up here or a complicated animation that makes myspace run slow you will be deleted. Im here to network and dont mind you pluggin yourself here but please dont do it at mine & other people's expense. Please check the size of your poster before you link to it. If you continue to ignore this I will need to say goodbye to our friendship. Thanks.

UPDATE FOR TRACKERS: IF you have set a tracker up for your space and it messes up my space you will be deleted and banned as well as your comment deleted (easily done via the safe mode editing). Trackers are abusive, destructive and parasitical scum that should be forced to each rotten eggs, month old milk and forced to listen to The Petshop Boys three times a day for the rest of their life.

FRIENDS REQUESTS:

Thank you if you are thinking of requesting friendship. However please do not be offended if I do not accept your request. I will not accept your request if I feel we do not have anything in common (e.g. death metal bands), that your request very much looks like an attempt to simply increase your friendship count (e.g. self proclaimed false gurus preying on the willing vulnerable who are marketing themselves and their products) or your own space compromises my morals in other ways (e.g. advertising snuff videos).

...oh look... another death metal band asking for an add......


Sounds Like: a bit like 'happy' Aphex Twin / AFX , maybe a little like Sigur Ros? some have even commented on a hint of Steve Reich / Phillip Glass / Mike Oldfield. Perhaps a belch of Pitch Black / Module?, Solar Fields even? Mirror System perhaps? nah! maybe not. I take inspiration from many places and dont look to one genre for the source of how to create music. Life itself is full of the ingredients needed to build inspirational music.
