about

This album is all about tops and bottoms !

I'm labelling this as my Modular Merry Melodies as it contains tracks from the last few years that have been done entirely on my Dotcom, Motm and Rob Hordijk Modular synths which play the major musical roll with added melodies from the Modulars and other synths.

The bottoms are the original improvised one take Modular output which provides the basis of each track and the tops are one track improvised melodies (sometimes using other synths) which were inspired from the bottoms !

The music traverses from the slow Afghani desert shimmer of Ouruzgan to the fast paced inner city vibe of Zippahead via TV themes (Transitions) and emotional journeys such as Dolphin Sands (dedicated to the passing of my father) and the electronic Native Indian dervish of Totem.

But in all of this there are melodies and composition ..these are not just Modular blips and beeps...please listen and enjoy !
