Ian H Burford

I have been recording music since 1985. In 1995 I was invited to submit my biographical details for inclusion the first ever edition of the international who,s who in music volume 2 popular music. Any one who is any one in the music industry is included in this prestigious book . Famous names include , Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, Trevor Horn a record producer who needs no introduction and the guitarist Jeff Beck to name but a few. At present I have completed three albums worth of material, these are “Spirit of the Nile” recorded at Far heath studios in 1997.Tracks from this album were performed live at a mind ,body,and sprit festival in 2004. Headlining this event were Llewellyn and juliana. The albums “Pathfinder” and “Excelsior” recorded at home using Cakewalks Sonar software and were completed in 2007. The Alpha project was produced especially for fuzz.com listeners. This project is not like my normal new age style of writting,but is more in keeping with the likes of Jarre and Tangerine Dream I tend to compose music using drum loops of various origins, these include ethnic,world and more conventional drum styles. A good example of this is on the track Alpha [part1] On top of these I overdub electronic keyboards. I use a combination of sampled sounds found on my main sound module and software synthesizers found in Cakewalks sonar package. I also play guitar and examples of which can be herd on the Quasar track[rock guitar] and the Temples of the Nile track[classical guitar]. The point I am trying to make is my aim is to make music for all tastes.
