Fractal Landscapes Forever
RELEASED ON 28TH NOVEMBER 2025 through monochrome motif records. Fractal Landscapes Forever is a journey - one you can revisit again and again. The epic title track, and the final track, are inspired by the ever-shifting images of fractal geometry taking you on an immersive journey into instrumental rock. The album has been recorded and produced with the latest recording tools and techniques together with a nod back to the ebb and flow of music from the pioneers of rock instrumental music. Immerse yourself in the highs and lows of Fractal Landscapes... forever.
| # | Title | Length |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fractal Landscapes Forever | 22:49 |
| Take a journey into Fractal Landscapes. Just like fractal images this track is an ever evolving adventure with similar patterns repeating but never the same. From gentle relaxing moments through to triumphant rock epiphanies and everything in-between you need to just sit back and enjoy the ride! | ||
| 2 | Arpeggiatore Varia | 1:15 |
| A fun piece starting off with fast piano arpeggios (murder on the wrists!) and picking up the rock pace with driving drums and powerful guitars. Short but powerful... and if the timing seems to not be quite right then that'll be because it's got 5 beats to the bar... but where is the extra beat..? | ||
| 3 | Rocking Into The Unknown 2025 | 1:56 |
| A relatively straightforward rock-fest with lots of guitar power chords and driving drums. This has been previously released in a different mix but this up to date version has more power. Turn it up to 11! | ||
| 4 | Stages | 5:41 |
| This was originally written 10 years ago when my late wife Sara was diagnosed with terminal cancer. How do you deal with news like that? Well, like all the textbooks say, you deal with it in stages. Some parts of the track feel disjointed from others and that's deliberate - but the track as a whole still feels cohesive with a powerful emotion and a feeling of inevitability. | ||
| 5 | Driving With The Top Down | 3:29 |
| Imagine yourself in a convertible sports car on a hot sunny Summer day... top down, wind blowing in your hair, as you drive fast along country roads. | ||
| 6 | Over The Fractal Horizons | 6:33 |
| This track is the child of so many inspirations. The build up to fade out in the second half is a direct tribute to progressive rock tracks like Voyage of the Acolyte by Steve Hackett and parts of Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield. I've always loved a good powerful build at the end of an album and this track's whole purpose is to do that. | ||
