Music making geek & lover of Ambient / Dark Ambient & Film Score music: I upload every two weeks on a weekend (usually Friday/Saturday) at 7pm UK time : My mission is to create content where people will relax and be taken on a journey that is unique to them. An introspective journey through dark and light mind spaces…
Back in the 1980's, my dream was set... hearing the film scores by James Horner, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Vangelis & other modern composers.
It is my childhood dream to make music for Film, TV & Games!
'SANCTUARY' A live ambient music performance.
Live performances have begun... I play local monthly EMOM (Electronic Music Open Mic) sessions and full Sanctuary gigs are coming very soon.
Past live performance feedback:
"It was really good... I felt like I was awake but dreaming!"
"I was getting nautical vibes, I was out at sea alone in a little boat and a massive steel ship approached and towered over me... Afterwards I felt renewed.”

A DEEP & EMOTIONAL Music Journey - REMEMBERING YOU
Hello and welcome to my channel! Thanks for returning, and if you're new here, you are very welcome and appreciated! :-)
This piece of music (originally just piano and synth strings) is one that I wrote back in 2014. It is dedicated to my mother Carol Hopkinson, who at the time, was approaching her final stage of life here on Earth. She had suffered a major stroke 7 years earlier and despite a long and hard fight, she was inevitably heading toward the next stage of life... if that is something that you believe in... I do.
At the time I felt that I had to do something to meaningful to dedicate to her (and to try not fall apart myself), and as I wrote the track I knew the time was getting clo...

Hello there! Welcome to my 25th dark ambient exploration music performance; this is an ongoing series that began in September 2023. The Hydrasynth is playing solo here, and I built the sound across 3 oscillators on a 'multi' patch. So far this sound is using just 3 of the 6 available oscillators. The sound started to take shape nicely so I went for the single take audio recording. I will probab...

Hello and a warm welcome to my 24th dark ambient exploration music performance; an ongoing series that I started in September 2023.

I touch on this in the video expla...

Hello and welcome to my channel :-) This week is a collaboration between Kevin Byrne my band mate (Shots At Two) and myself. Kev sent me a core starting point for me to add to, to complete the track. What he sent me was an almost complete track, but that is not a complaint... rather a complement to his musical ability! So this track is mostly Kev's work, and I've added some additional seasoning...
