::: THE GARDEN :::

The Garden is the first release from Geigertek and has been signed to the independent music label, AD Music.

The Garden represents a journey from the day through the night and then beyond the walls that surround it's natural beauty and existance. The music puts the listener into The Garden, dances the moonlit dance of the white marble sculpture and then takes the first tentative steps past The Garden's walls to the city and the worlds that breathe beyond.

Work began on The Garden in August 2006 and was completed in January 2008. It is a collection of ambient and melodic pieces inspired by a small private garden in the middle of a busy modern city, musically describing all that happens within, hidden away from the urban chaos that exists beyond The Garden's walls.

All writing, recording and production work was carried out by Geigertek using the Norwich-based recording facility.

The Garden is a purely instrumental collection, written and recorded using computer-based virtual synthesizers and effects units. This first Geigertek recording brings together classical/easy listening musical composition and the creative use of modern sound engineering techniques to create a myriad of sounds, inspired by artists such as John Foxx, Jean Michel Jarre, Claude Debussey and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

Tracklisting

::: Dedication to the memory of Ron Fellowes :::

I would like to dedicate "The Garden" to the memory of my father, Ron Fellowes, who sadly and suddenly passed away in July 2006. It was a deep shock to everyone who knew him, none more so than to my dear mother, Elizabeth.

It is with coincidence that my father worked as a gardener for the last years of his life, and when I listen to the title track of this collection I think of him and see him at work, tending to the plants and flowers of his award winning garden.

He had a love of music, often singing away to himself or playing his keyboard in a most dreadful manner as he couldn't play a note. He often quoted his favourite comic Eric Morecombe when asked about his playing - "I'm playing the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order". My Dad had a belief in me and the music I created, often telling me that I should have pursued a career in a music from a far earlier age. I would have loved for him to have seen the Geigertek project come to life after so many years of talking and dreaming.

The Garden is a promise fulfilled.
