SongVault Artist Profile

Hi,

My name is Kenneth John Parsons.

Thanks for dropping by to hear my entirely original compositions.

I am a UK-based audio creator/composer of some 10 years experience and have formed my own little Indie record label which is called Inexplicata Music.

I also play under the name of "Xambience", elsewhere.

I concentrate mainly on the genres of soundtrack, downtempo, drone, electronic and dark ambient.

Aside from being here on SongVault, my work has also been showcased on Zen Radio, MixPosure, SoundClick and Deep Intense. com

For those unacustomed to my kind of "exotic audio", some might say that it's a strange type of sound, being as it so often is, slightly atonal and laced with many influences such as ambient, electronic, jazz-fusion, "kraut-rock" and perhaps some classical leanings too.

In varying degrees, the material that I produce can be Uplifting, Spiritual, Haunting, Industrial, Gothic, Surreal, Warped, or a mixture of these descriptions, feelings and sensations.

In a nutshell, Inexplicata Music is drawn from life, the ether and my imagination.

Equipment used, computers, studio software, various bits of electronic gadgetry, keyboards, human voice, (mainly that of my partner Hilary), sound mixer and anthything else to hand that I can bang, vibrate, twist, warp and mangle to make a noise with as when it suits.

Enquiries about my music, (availability, pricing, special film score commissions etc), are usually made to me via e-mail. darkambient@hotmail.co.uk

I have a small quantity of earlier Inexplicata albums available at just £6 each plus £1 post and packing (UK)...£2 overseas.

They are:

# Into The Bermuda Triangle.
# Rennes-le-Chateau - Geometric Riddle.
# Architectural Harmonics .
# The Hyades Electro Suite .
# Electroalchemy .

All the best

Kenneth

Do you play live?

I could, one day, but am not organised enough for that just now due to personal commitments.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

The Internet has given many unknown artists, who may have otherwise never been given a break into the music industry, a chance to broadcast their compositions.

Would you still sign a record contract with a major label?

Of course..who would'nt?
