Electronic Soundscapes - About Sayer's Music
For most of my life, electronic music has been an integral part of my journey. My musical wanderings have gone in many directions over the years, but tend to lean toward electronic soundscapes that blend classic styles with more modern influences. I hope you enjoy the results.

Whimsical  - April 25, 2009

8.1mb

Lacking inspiration right now... but trying to keep active with making music. 
 
Wind Travelers  - March 08, 2009

3.3mb

Not really a track, but more a mood. After a hectic week I sat down in the studio for some relaxation; this simple recording was the result.
Time Flows On  - February 28, 2009

8.5mb

Just having some fun in the studio. Thinking about how time keeps flowing, like water in a mountain stream. 
Serene Dreams  - November 8, 2008

5.5mb

It's been a long time since I did any work in the studio. This is just a fun little track created while hooking up the studio gear after moving to Michigan. 
1st A6  - February 20, 2005

5.0mb

Trying out how the new Alesis Andromeda analog synthesizer sits in a mix with the other synths. For some reason this simple demo has received a positive response from several people.
Autonomous Arps  - November 6, 2004

7.5mb

A friend asked about using an arpeggiator to create more complex sequences rather than the usual up/down patterns arps are known for. So, I fired up the Virus b synthesizer and created this little demo. There is no lead lines, just some looping arps and drum patterns.
Underwater Caves  - July 11, 2004

3.9mb

Started to work on this as a track, but grew tired of it. Some fun sounds are used though, and I like the lead line.
 
Amaranthine  - June 15, 2004

1.8mb

A preview of a track created for the Michael Garrison tribute project.
