The ocean has always been special to me. As a child I loved going to the beach and experiencing the sounds, feel, and scent of the waves, sand, and ocean breeze. I also cherished the fascinating documentaries that showcased the different forms of life existing under the sea.

As I've grown older I often return to the ocean for a dose of serenity, to rest my mind, and to experience the grandeur nature has on offer. One of my favorite places to visit is Chincoteague Wildlife refuge located on the Virginia coast.

Typically, when I create a themed album I have an overall story in my head for the release. Each track has its own narrative that supports the album theme. With Future City I decided to write down the narratives and combine them into a short story to be included with the release. This turned out to be a lot of fun, but also a lot of extra effort.

The CD version of Future City includes a 6 panel booklet that contains the full short story along with the CD artwork. The electronic download version includes a PDF document with the short story including some of the CD artwork. The short story is also included below. I hope you will fine it entertaining.

Rear Cover 
 
The theme of this release breaks from the space adventures of recent albums, but the sequences and melodies are as present as ever. The studio has been expanding over the last couple of years which is evident by the large number and variety of synthesizers used on this project.


"Sometimes normal can change in very good ways, as it has recently done for me. This release is a reflection of finding a new normal..."

Time to embark on a deep space adventure to explore places beyond our solar system and even beyond the reaches of our galaxy. You will not find the calm and serene styles typically associated with space music. With Cosmic Voyagers the goal is to provide mystery and intrigue with unique and interesting sounds that you may not have ever heard before. It also aims to provide a sense of energy and excitement through the use of extensive sequencing.

This release contains over 76 minutes of melodic sequencer music.
 

Time Travelers Too (July 2015)

Electronic Sequences and Melodies

TTT rear cover
 
Time Travelers Too offers more adventures related to the time travel theme. This was a planned follow-up to the original Time Travelers release.

The goal with Time Travelers Too was to sound less "retro" compared to Time Travelers. This was accomplished by the use of sounds that are a bit more modern in nature, while still keeping a familiar and consistent overall feel.

 

Time Travelers (February 2015)

Electronic Sequences and Melodies

The Time Travelers theme offers many opportunities to create sequence driven electronic music. In most cases the name of each track was decided first, then I wrote music to support the theme and meaning of the chosen name.

In addition to the time travelers theme, the actual
composition style and sounds aim to transport the
listener to different periods of time in sequence
based electronic music, from the early days to current and hopefully even to futuristic directions.

 

Sounds of Atoms (January 2014)

Electronic Sequences and Melodies

After completing Random Access Melodies I intended to take a break from creating new music and instead direct my efforts to remaster and re-release some of my older, pre-1st Encounter material. Then the plan was to start on new tracks for the Sounds of Atoms themed release.

The work on the older material never happened because inspiration kept getting in the way and before long I had the majority of the tracks in-work for Sounds of Atoms. The six months invested in Sounds of Atoms have been some of the most enjoyable and productive months I have ever had working with music.
 

Random Access Melodies (July 2013)

Finally, after nearly 10 years...

Review by Dave Law of SMD & Music Zeit:

"I am delighted that there is a new album by Sayer (the first in ten years I think). ‘Random Access Melodies’ cranks the sequences up right from the first track. They bounce along perfectly throughout the whole album, wonderful melodies weaving between the pulsations. It is a bit like a mix of Pyramid Peak, John Dyson, Glyn Lloyd Jones, Gert Emmens and Jean Michel Jarre. This could well make it into one of my top ten albums of the year. Some artists are good with sequences, others can come up with a good ‘tune’, Sayer seems to be a master of both."

1st Encounter CD Cover

Eurock:
"Hot off the presses, the new album by Sayer is a rhythmic/ melodic extravaganza filled with colorful melodic hooks and crisp sequential riffs. There are cosmic symphonic moment interwoven into the mix, but by and large it’s a non-stop dose of motorik perfect for space cruising on the Autobahn. Your head will be spinning and your feet tapping when this is in the player."

Synth Music Direct:

"If you want an album of tranquil float look elsewhere but if on the other hand you want music to get the heart racing then you should really have this CD in your collection."
