Oceans (March 2020) Electronic Sequences and Melodies Availability:
BandCamp | - |
Streaming, digital download,
professional CDR |
|
|
| | |
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.

Future City (November 2019) Electronic Sequences and Melodies Availability:
BandCamp | - |
Streaming, digital download,
professional CDR |
|
|
| | |
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.

A Different Side of Normal (August 2018) Electronic Sequences and Melodies Availability: | |
|
BandCamp | - |
Streaming, digital download, professional CDR |
|
|
| | |
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.

contains over 76 minutes of melodic sequencer music.

Time Travelers
Too (July 2015) Electronic Sequences and Melodies Availability:
BandCamp | - |
Streaming, digital download, professional CDR |
|
|
| | |
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 Availability: BandCamp | - |
Streaming, digital download, professional CDR |
|
|
| | |
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 Availability: BandCamp | - |
Streaming, digital download, glass mastered CD |
|
|
| | |
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.

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." |

| | 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:
( excerpt - use link above to see full review)
"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." |
