The Mysterious Box.

I'm sure by now you may have noticed there is a mysterious box at the bottom of this page. This contains many of my own composition for your listening pleasure. These tunes were recorded by myself over the last 5-6 years in either my Wamberal beach studio between 2001 and 2006 or my Wyong Studio from 2006 onwards, Both on the Central coast of New South Wales, Australia.
I have been been involved with bands and a great network of musicians since I moved up to the coast from Sydney, and have never looked back, though have found that musicians are no different to normal people (well generally speaking) they have their own lives, and cannot always be available when you are, and may not share the passion for music at the same level as you do, so eventually whilst still enjoying making music with my greatly talented friends, I stepped over to the dark side of sequencers, workstations, VST's and VSTI's to be able to create music on a computer which sounds half decent.
Let me say from the beginning that one type of music making does not replace the other and this works either way. With a real live musician situation, you feel the connection of working with another human being, appreciating their interpretations, styles and influences, which you would not get from a machine, whereas on the other hand, working with a machine, you have the freedom of putting in exactly what you want and how you want it, which I would never dictate to a musician as that would be a disregard of their artistic interpretations and feel.
Each have their distinct advantages.
The material which you can listen to below is mainly computer stuff, some may include live overlays by myself or a musician friend, but mostly sequenced.
Have a listen to it, leave your comments if you feel inclined, I'd love to hear them. though please understand I am not an engineer or producer, so please don't analyse the production techniques, I know these could have been produced a lot better.
So sit back in your favorite comfy chair, turn the lights down, light one up if that is how you like your music, and hit the button. Enjoy !!!

Cheers.
Eric
