NEW FREE DOWNLOAD MP3 ALBUM...

Album 12 is now finished and is available in the CD section for free download in MP3 format. It’s called “Entropy” and I’m offering it for the time being as a kind of free sampler album. The tracks are representative of my more melodic sequencer based accessible style and not the more wildly experimental things I’ve done from time to time.

Why MP3? Well they say the CD is dead. They’re right! CD sales certainly have plummeted everywhere replaced by the convenience of internet downloads. Personally although I think it is a very impressive technology I’m not a great fan of MP3. After spending many hundreds of hours producing nice 24bit quality masters I would certainly prefer to release my tracks at a higher sound quality than CD rather than a lower one. So with MP3 it’s tough for me to take what the hefty compression encoding does to my hard work. But I try to get my music out there so for the time being this album is available only as MP3. At least it’s far better than cassettes (remember them?) and the MP3s are encoded at 320Kbits/sec which is the highest rate normally used on the internet.

I’m still hoping that, now broadband speeds are steadily on the rise, it won’t be too long before the download times will become less of a chore for higher quality data transfers. With the future in mind I’m looking into the idea of offering for sale FLAC loss less compression download versions of some of my albums. The sound quality will be as original 24bit audio which is better than CD so it will we well worth looking into doing conveniently from this site.
