I tried to download your albums to hear for myself, Dean, but the links no longer work I'm afraid... I get the message that the source file could not be found...

Metamorph 2005
 Metamorph is another single-track album, the track is called Tessellation Boulevard (though no actually tessellations were used in composing it) and consists of 2095 bars of music written to a set of rules. For the melody, each bar contains 10 semi-quavers (10/8 time) in a pentatonic scale (C#) and only one note is permitted to change from one bar to the next, the harmonies and accompaniments are written individually around each specific bar. This results in a piece of music that sounds repetitive, yet there is no actual repetition. As if each note was an ice crystal and each bar forms a snowflake then the resulting 65½ minutes of music is a snow field that appears uniform yet has drifts that often disguise the underlying structures.
The cover picture is nothing special and has no meaning - it is just a doodle I did one evening while not watching TV, like the doodles I used to draw in my exercise book at school during a particularly dull lesson as the teacher droned on in a monotonic dirge to some long dead king of a long dead civilisation in a land far far away that no one could say for sure whether what they attempted to teach us was actually verifiable true or was mere supposition and wishful thinking based upon a scant few traces of archaeological evidence...

Beautiful cover. Did you make that?
Also, I downloaded this. It will be my first TCoL experience...I just don't have time to listen to it right now.  |

I do too...but man, that is one gorgeous cover. There's a lot to appreciate about it. It makes me want to hear your piece now, but it's sort of family time, and here I am still fooling around on Progarchives. Shame on me.  |

I just finished listening Dean, and let's just say it's probably best you didn't get added to the database...
...because if you did, we'd have to create a new category: "Math Electronic Prog."  |

I've done a couple more albums that would probably fit that category (I'm an Engineer - I love numbers) - I'm listening to the first now ("spunos" - you'll have to turn the monitor upside down to get the gag) all based on the number seven it was the second album I ever made and it's dreadful  ...and the other is The Mathematica Cacophony - a suite of three CDs about three key eras in mathematics, music and astronomy(Ancient Greece, Renaissance Italy and the present day). Hopefully all my other stuff is more "organic",Edited by Dean - July 31 2009 at 10:59 |

Can't wait to hear them, Dean!  |

Loved the music! Don't be surprised if someone might want to use your score for a film! I felt constantly moved that something was happening, or was about to happen. You created really subtle tension, almost unnoticeable at times, until it was too late and I was taken in by it! Nice! Oh, the picture on the back with the wings absolutely killed me! I loved it!

Passing 2003
 Passing was the sequel to Moments, eventhough I tried quite hard not to make it Moments 2, it is a sort of Passing Moments, or a Moments Passing. Recorded in 2003 just before Antiquarian it was the 10th album I wrote & recorded and the 9th to be released (album #3 has yet to see the light of day).
passing...
...wind & whethering ...out the other side ...without due cause ...trade & industry ...issues ...currents ...broad thoughts from home ...whole life support ...sleep ...strangers in the rain Total Plaing Time: 51 minutes
Track 6 - Passing...Currents was the first and last of many tracks never to be recorded under the pseudonym of 'The Olde Oak Trio' - a fictitious wandering band of guitarists of indeterminate skill and dexterity.
The cover photograph was taken in the ruins of Christchurch Castle in Dorset, England - the young lady leaving the picture is my daughter, I don't know the name of the seagull, but there is a good chance it wasn't the same one that is on the Moments cover. Feeling rather good about the accidental co-incidence of having a seagull on two of my album covers, from this point on the bird appears somewhere on all my CoL covers.

Pilgrim 2005
 This was the 50th and (to date) the penultimate album I recorded as The Cacophony Of Light. It is currently available as a stream on LastFM (http://www.last.fm/music/The+Cacophony+Of+Light/Pilgrim) - I had intended the whole ablum to be downloadable from there, but something went sideways and only 2 tracks ended up as downloads.
Conceptually it is based around John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, though as an instrumental album it does not delve into storyline or attempt to depict any of the alegorical journey undertaken by Christian (and later by his wife Christiana) - if anything it is more about one of the secondary characters found in Part 2 of Pilgrim's Progress, Mr Valiant-for-Truth and his journey from The Dark-land to the Celestial Country.
1. Valiant Overture (3:48)
2. Dark-land (6:09) 3. The Slough of Despond (5:20) 4. Beelzebub Castle (4:48) 5. The Wicket Gate (5:25) 6. The Hill Difficulty (3:58) 7. The Valley of Humiliation (6:07) 8. Valley of the Shadow of Death (5:34) 9. Doubting Castle (3:36) 10. Who Would True Valour See (8:00) 11. The Enchanted Ground (4:50) 12. The Celestial Country (7:40) Total playing time: 65:23
(track 10 is based upon the hymn "To Be A Pilgrim" - music by Vaughan Williams)

/edit: in updating the covers due to a webhost failure, I discovered an alternate cover for Pilgrim:
