I would like to share my library of wonderful Australian landscape nature sounds, musics cds and sketches with you - plus photographs, musical and sound experience ideas ..

Years of study, travel, listening, recording and production work has resulted in the creation of cds, radio programs, soundtracks, installations - and a sounds and musics library

hullo and welcome

There are element sounds - the ocean, thunder storms, wind; nature - rain forests, creeks, special bird places, frogs; people at work and play; urban sounds - machines, boats, bikes, explosions, city environments ..

The music ranges from background relaxing piano through to 'foreground' dramatic, thematic and fun pieces

fun piece

piano & sea

Whilst there are many recognizable - and useful - sound 'effects' and categorizable musics included, there are many more unusual and (hopefully) inspiring 'gems' to be found ..

drums & frogs

All the library tracks are available for quick listening and free download of a 30 second (mp3) audio file

A new sounds and musics downloads section has full length tracks available for listening and downloading
These pieces are specially selected from the music cds, the library and from new compilations

Go to 'downloads'

Music cds are available here, several being based on special (sound) places
They may be listened to and, if you like what you hear, purchased by mail ordering

from John .. ‘ I think the CD (shoalhaven) is wonderful, but there again I like all the music you have put together that I have heard.
I particularly love anything that includes a piano. The purity of the piano and the purity of nature go together perfectly. '

I call many pieces and sound environment recordings 'sound pictures'

They 'sit' in this wonderful area midst nature, nature sounds, and music ..

More stories ..

from Rachel .. ' Just to say a big "thankyou" (for the cd), received with delight the other day!! It's just lovely, so bright and happy, you are amazing. Your sound pictures soothe, revive, enliven, touch one's spirit in a very special way ..'

My composition techniques are perhaps similar to those of painting; painting with sound ..
The term comes from when, as a child, I used to make up piano pieces whilst looking at picture books .. perhaps not much has changed ..

I enjoy taking photographs too; there are quite a few scattered around the site
They are used in the (newer) cd packages .. some may be downloaded for use as 'screensavers'
Others will eventually appear on high quality greeting cards

I hope that you like the music and enjoy the site .. happy listening!
