Description
Ocean Splendour is my second album. This album features fourteen original tracks of synthesizer music inspired by the sea. Five months in the making, this album of ocean music not only captures the magnificence and depth of beauty associated with ocean life, but also reveals a kind of romantic impressionism inspired by composers such as Ralph Vaughan Williams and Georges Auric.
Ocean Splendour is unquestionably a romantic vision of the ancient sea kingdom, a musical interpretation of old-world beauty and sea mythology. The music on this album has a rich symphonic quality to it: many orchestral instrument samples (e.g. lush string sections, brass, woodwind, concert harp, bells etc.) choirs, and additional synthesizer sounds were used during its production.
Ocean Splendour has received airplay on BBC radio: one of the tracks from the album The Whale's Last Journey was played on BBC Radio Devon in 2007 shortly after its release.

Some comments...
"Attractive...
Great composition and charming atmosphere. The theme is very beautiful and full of intense suggestion. Attractive and functional orchestration..."
Enzoderosa - Rome, Italy
"A date with Debussy!...
An ambitious, dense piece of music that leans toward impressionism and romanticism."
La Monica - Oakland, California, USA
"Solid soundscape...
Right from the first chord-wave you are awash with an incredibly thick carpet texture of music creating an absolutely incredible mood! Kind of a "Wagner meets Debussy" effect! Stunning and inspiring in its complexity and simplicity! This was absolutely GRAND on every level! What a pleasure! A first class job all the way round! BRAVO and BRAVO again! All the very best of luck!"
Lui Gentile - Eitorf, Germany
"Undeniably beautiful!...
I liked the chord choices from the very start. It's gorgeous! Production is very well done. The harp is amazing! It's great for a film or just to listen to on CD."
Pam Isato - San Luis Obispo, California, USA
Using My Music In Your Workplace...
Once purchased from this site, my CDs can be played free of charge by therapists in their workplace - but the music can only be used as background music for the benefit of their clients and cannot be used for any other purpose.
Because I own the copyright to all the music featured on my albums and as I am not a member of the Performing Rights Society (PRS), therapists and practitioners can play the music as often as they wish in their workplace without needing a licence from the PRS or having to pay any royalties.
Please note: only therapists and practitioners from the medical, NHS healthcare and complementary therapy professions, and certain charitable organizations (please enquire), can use my music in their workplace for free. Other businesses and professions (shops, cafes, restaurants, offices, factories, etc.) will require a licence from me and will have to pay a one-off fee: the amount of which will depend on the size of the business.
Music sample
Effective relaxation music used by professional therapists in the UK. A Calm Light is a deeply relaxing and beautiful album.
