The album 'Independence' contains ten original tracks and they all exhibit a superb fusion of styles; blending classical orchestral elements with a modern day electronic sound... as an addition to this, 'Independence' also boasts a hint of the 80's too! It's already receiving extensive radio play and TMR Records have recently negotiated and licensed two of the tracks to GAP (Mexico) for use on their latest compilation CDs. Some of the album's tracks could be classed as a cross between the 'Pet Shop Boys', David Guetta, Scott Walker and Robert Miles. The songs are suitably original and highly emotive.

LYRICS:

VERSE 1: 

Brave boy, you are the one and only unashamed boy 

It's easy to forget you're so afraid boy 

Afraid of overlooking, like a strange toy 

The clown that someone gave you for your birthday 

CHORUS: 

Now it's time to release your love 

Yes it's time to release your love 

VERSE 2: 

Sometimes, a rich imagination takes you nowhere 

You allow for conversations to meander 

Your every word though poison, some believe you 

The strangest thing of all is I don't know you 

CHORUS: 

Now it's time to release your love 

Yes it's time to release your love 

INSTRUMENTAL

END CHANT: 

For the sake of the truth 

And the making of you 

Will you walk with me now 

And remember who's who 

We can take all our lives 

The light blinding yet giving 

Leading the way to what's right 

And forgiving 

CHORUS: 

Now it's time to release your love 

Yes it's time to release your love 

Now it's time to release your love

ORCHESTRA (As cited on Wikipedia):
An orchestra is a large instrumental ensemble that contains sections of string, brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. The term orchestra derives from the Greek ορχήστρα, the name for the area in front of an ancient Greek stage reserved for the Greek chorus. The orchestra grew by accretion throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, but changed very little in composition during the course of the 20th century.

A smaller-sized orchestra for this time period (of about fifty players or fewer) is called a chamber orchestra. A full-size orchestra (about 100 players) may sometimes be called a "symphony orchestra" or "philharmonic orchestra"; these modifiers do not necessarily indicate any strict difference in either the instrumental constitution or role of the orchestra, but can be useful to distinguish different ensembles based in the same city (for instance, the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra).

A symphony orchestra will usually have over eighty musicians on its roster, in some cases over a hundred, but the actual number of musicians employed in a particular performance may vary according to the work being played and the size of the venue. A leading chamber orchestra might employ as many as fifty musicians; some are much smaller than that. Orchestras can also be found in schools. The term concert orchestra may sometimes be used (e.g., BBC Concert Orchestra; RTÉ Concert Orchestra)—no distinction is made on size of orchestra by use of this term, although their use is generally distinguished as for live concert. As such they are commonly chamber orchestras.

The typical symphony orchestra consists of four proportionate groups of similar musical instruments called the woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings, and also the fifth proportionate group of similar musical instruments like the rhythm section in modern times. The orchestra, depending on the size, contains almost all of the standard instruments in each group. In the history of the orchestra, its instrumentation has been expanded over time, often agreed to have been standardized by the classical period and Beethoven's influence on the classical model.

The so-called "standard complement" of double winds and brass in the orchestra from the first half of the 19th century is generally attributed to the forces called for by Ludwig van Beethoven. The exceptions to this are his Symphony No. 4, Violin Concerto, and Piano Concerto No. 4, which each specify a single flute. The composer's instrumentation almost always included paired flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns and trumpets. Beethoven carefully calculated the expansion of this particular timbral "palette" in Symphonies 3, 5, 6, and 9 for an innovative effect. The third horn in the "Eroica" Symphony arrives to provide not only some harmonic flexibility, but also the effect of "choral" brass in the Trio. Piccolo, contrabassoon, and trombones add to the triumphal finale of his Symphony No. 5. A piccolo and a pair of trombones help deliver storm and sunshine in the Sixth. The Ninth asks for a second pair of horns, for reasons similar to the "Eroica" (four horns has since become standard); Beethoven's use of piccolo, contrabassoon, trombones, and untuned percussion—plus chorus and vocal soloists—in his finale, are his earliest suggestion that the timbral boundaries of "symphony" might be expanded for good. But for several decades after his departure, symphonic instrumentation was faithful to Beethoven's well-established model, with few exceptions.

Apart from the core orchestral complement, various other instruments are called for occasionally. These include the classical guitar, heckelphone, flugelhorn, cornet, harpsichord, and organ. Saxophones, for example, appear in a limited range of 19th and 20th century scores. While appearing only as featured solo instruments in some works, for example Maurice Ravel's orchestration of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition and Sergei Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances, the saxophone is included in other works, such as Ravel's Boléro, Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet Suites 1 and 2, Vaughan Williams Symphony No.6 and Symphony No.9 and William Walton's Belshazzar's Feast, and many other works as a member of the orchestral ensemble. The euphonium is featured in a few late Romantic and 20th century works, usually playing parts marked "tenor tuba", including Gustav Holst's The Planets, and Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenleben.

Beatboxing is a form of vocal percussion primarily involving the art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using one's mouth, lips, tongue, and voice. It may also involve singing, vocal imitation of turntablism, and the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments. Beatboxing today is connected with hip-hop culture, being one of "the elements", although it is not limited to hip-hop music. The term "beatboxing" is sometimes used to refer to vocal percussion in general (see vocal percussion for details).

LYRICS:

Uh Oh, Uh Oh!
A storm's a brewin'
Uh Oh, Uh Oh!
Here comes the rain

Watch out! Watch out!
It's windy whirly
(What if it never stops again?)

We can use flowers
For umbrellas

Or dig a hole where we can hide

We can just eat until it's over!!

But it seems like there's no end in sight

Uh Oh, Uh Oh!
A storm's a brewin'
Uh Oh, Uh Oh!
Look at the sky

Watch out! Watch out!
I hear the thunder
(We better find a place to hide!)

What do we do?
Where can we run to?
Is this the storm that never ends?

Let's hope it's not!
Let's stick together
Whether the storm
'Cos we're best buddies

Uh Oh, Uh Oh!
La la la la
Uh Oh, Uh Oh!
La la la la

Uh Oh, Uh Oh!

(As cited on Wikipedia)
In psychology, memory is the processes by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. Encoding allows information that is from the outside world to reach our senses in the forms of chemical and physical stimuli. In this first stage we must change the information so that we may put the memory into the encoding process. Storage is the second memory stage or process. This entails that we maintain information over periods of time. Finally the third process is retrieval. This is the retrieval of information that we have stored. We must locate it and return it to our consciousness. Some retrieval attempts may be effortless due to the type of information.

From an information processing perspective there are three main stages in the formation and retrieval of memory:

- Encoding or registration (receiving, processing and combining of received information)
- Storage (creation of a permanent record of the encoded information)
- Retrieval, recall or recollection (calling back the stored information in response to some cue for use in a process or activity)

"Box Clever" Short Animation

"Box Clever" - I scored the quirky music for this animation in 2001.  Wow, time has flown! It was part of my Masters degree in Film and Television Composition at Kingston University, London (2001-2002).

Ed Taylor produced the animation.  I was provided with a small ensemble "The Fibonacci Sequence" (1 Viola, 1 Cello, 1 Clarinet and 1 Trumpet).  It was recorded in Gateway Recording Studio, Kingston.  I conducted the music and also created the sound design.

Ed Taylor won Best Student film - Everyman Animation Festival, London, for his work on this.

It was also featured on the Sibelius (software notation) CD with my score as a demo tutorial for scoring to picture.
