about

Modern Invention

There has been alot of what I can only describe as 'flailing around wildly' in my life over the past 6 months or so. Musically, I have been focusing primarily on my YouTube channel which features nothing but Ambient Analogue Synthesizer Music. The results of this have been going very well, but it does however mean that all I have had to offer in album form is this ambient music.

I love and am very proud of this ambient music but there will be more full Post Rock with Electronic elements coming next. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this halfway point. Recorded using mostly my Analogue Synthesizer and Electric Guitar, this album shows the direction that my creative works are heading. This is what I consider to be a completely stripped back version of what's to come.

My personal life has been in disarray. Between working as many hours as possible to try and keep up with this seemingly endless cost of living crisis and trying to find time to spend with loved ones in between, sadly the time to be making music has been hard to find. These ambient sessions that I have been working on for YouTube have been a welcome break from the chaos of life for me. And I hope that this album and the most recent ones can be the same for you.

Moogmentum (Presented by the Bob Moog Foundation)
by Lisa Bella Donna

This is probably the greatest synth player alive right now. A huge inspiration to me and many others. Perfect if you love those bassy Moog sounds. An outstanding performance. Parker

Beyond The Black Rainbow - Original Soundtrack
by Sinoia Caves

This is one of the most accurate soundtracks/albums you will ever hear. All analogue synthesizers and equipment. Would happily sit among all the classic Kosmiche albums as one of the best of the time. Parker

CyberWaves
by RemixSample

There are moments on this album that have genuinely brought me to tears in the best way. Such genuinely organic synth playing. I can only aspire to be this good. Parker
