Work on my new
space music studio album "In Search of Silence" is coming along nicely. There have been some delays in recent months due to the distraction of the forthcoming
electronic music event The Bungay Bash - rehearsals and local promotional work - plus the small matter of my heart problem. I'm also working on a Sci fi book soundtrack with US writer Matt Howarth, which I hope will be released towards the end of the year.
Back to "In Search of Silence"; this has been a fun album to do, not least because I've been rediscovering a lot of sounds from my hardware synths and relying less on the soft synths - not that there's anything wrong with the soft synths - they're still in evidence on the new album, but it is dominated by hardware synths this time round, including the Kurzweil PC3x, JP8000, JD990 and Karma Even my old 01W, 05rW and K4 had the cobwebs blown off them and used.
Musically I think this new album is a departure from recent works, I'd say that some of the music is structured in the same linear way I approached "Walking with Ghosts", but does include some improvised and drifting segments circa "Momentum".
I think it's probably fair to say that I've been less concerned about the "technical" this time during the writing and recording process and concentrated more on being spontaneous and creative. I'm pleased with the results so far and the album should be available for release end of July, beginning of August 2011. More details including tracks titles and soundbites will be available soon on the AD Music website.
