The Circle K by Miles Cosmo - progressive drum & bass

Miles Cosmo's music is bursting with ideas and crosses genres like electronica should. This drum & bass track is a great example. It evolves constantly throughout, and ends in a beautiful space with a harp revisiting a synth theme from earlier in the song.

Elektron Analog 4 tutorial - performance controls

This is my new tutorial video on how to programme the performance controls on the Elektron Analog 4.

More Ebotronix genius - Buchla, Moog Prodigy etc

"Flame 4 Vox quad jungle"

I don't think Herr Ebotronix sleeps, eats, or has any sort of social life. His productivity amazes! Quality is consistently high too.

Live jam #107 (looping with Ableton Live)

Rheyne lights his videos using his lighty-up instruments and controllers, plus some "music visualisation" software that drives the screens (and a bit of studio lighting). They're always visually lovely and the music is at the serene end of down-tempo. He describes this one as "Live looping with USB controllers, iOS devices, and Ableton Live. Performed in one take with no pre-recorded loops or samples".

Ambient album "Reveal" from Elskavon

Reveal is the third album from Elskavon, the ambient post-rock project of 26-year old Minneapolis composer Chris Bartels.

Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma

Delighted to be at the edge of space:) Just back from La Palma in the Canary Islands. Picture shows the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on top of the volcano, one of the northern hemisphere's great observatories. The UK's Isaac Newton Telescope is the 2nd dome from the right.

Bloodmoon Rising by Steve Roach

Steve Roach is a leading proponent of ambient drone music. This piece is inspired by an eclipse of the moon, the blood-colour of which comes from the absorption of blue sunlight by the earth's atmosphere as the moon passes into the shadow of the earth. Our earthly sunsets get their colour by this same process.

Kaguya Probe - live studio jam

Beuatiful OTB (Outside The Box) music from Gary Hayes. "Loosely based on a Cm harp piece I wrote in the 90s - in fact I was about to play the harp in real time with this at one stage - for another session methinks!"

Waldorf Nave iPad synth + Elektron Octatrack, Analog 4

Another of my demonstrations of Nave's sound design possibilities. Accompanying are some loops on the Octatrack made using Omnisphere and Access Virus C. Plus some arpeggios from the Analog 4.

Canopy "1988" - Ambient Post Rock

Gosh another new genre! One to sit alongside Folktronica. How is one brain alone meant to keep up with today's world? Actually this is really beautiful music and probably deserves a more poetic categorisation. Not sure I'm the man to invent one right this moment.

Canopy is the project of Ryan Vanden Heuvel.
