Welcome to Natures Desktop - Music
As well as taking photos, i'm also involved in making music and designing CD covers. Most of my current work is for the
AD
Music record label. This is an independent label specialising in melodic instrumental music & chillout (mainly electronic
- a bit like Vangelis, Tangerine Dream or Jarre). I'm involved in two 'groups' -
Code Indigo and
Callisto.
Code Indigo are a electronic 'rock' band
with two keyboard players, a guitarist and me. Within the group i program the rhythms, drums, bass and sequences. If you want to know
what we sound like there are plenty of demo example MP3's on the
AD
Music site or the
Code Indigo Band Site.
Callisto is a collaboration between
the founder of the AD music label - David Wright and myself. Within Callisto we produce more synth based tuneful/melodic music (no
guitar).
The Callisto page on the AD site has loads of music clips, reviews and info. www.admusiconline.com/Callisto
CD Design
For several years now i've been involved in the CD cover designs for many of the artists on AD, helping to design and layout most
CD covers & booklets from 2002 onwards.
Some of my photos have been used for covers (see below) - these are currently....
'Code Indigo - Chill'. The cover photo is of snake pass in Derbyshire.
'David Wright - The Tenth Planet', photo is from a David Wright concert at Bochum Planetarium in Germany.
'Robert Fox - Timeless'. Cover photo is of Calm Howden Reservoir in North Derbyshire. For a few other covers designs I've created
images in Photoshop and Bryce 3D...
'Callisto - Signal to the Stars'
'Enterphase - Solar Promenades'
'Ocean of Light - Best of AD 1'
'Sacred Skies - Best of AD 2'
