Accidental Adoration Accidental Adoration
Accidental Adoration is a track from the new album due out in early 2011. A mellow, gentle song created entirely in Logic using samples and home brewed synths sounds... Enjoy!
Too Far Apart Too Far Apart
An edit of the various themes I used for an unreleased movie soundtrack. Composed and performed mainly using Logic and Omnisphere with additional samples and softsynths. No real guitars or vocals were used.

"The Art Of Sound is the sound of one man..... who strives to put melody back in the forefront of songs without words. Gentle, mellow rhythmic lines that interwine with soulful melodies.. you find yourself humming hours later..."
The Art Of Sound was originally formed back in England in the mid 70's as a group of people who wanted to promote the use of synthesizers in both modern and classical music. Later on the group split up and went their separate ways but one founder member, Nigel Sixsmith, carried on working, under the name "The Art Of Sound", writing and performing music for the Synthesizer for over 30 years..
This webpage has been set up for him to share some of the many songs he has written in the hope that others will find as much enjoyment listening to his music as he has making it..Band/artist history
I only look forwards.. never back :)Have you performed in front of an audience?Only occasionally since the late 80's when I moved over the pond to the USA.
Your musical influences
Many influences but I suppose the main ones are David Sancious, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Chris Issac and The Edge..What equipment do you use?
I use Logic as a multitrack recorder/mixer but almost everything is played live with minimal post editing :)Anything else?
Sadly, it was time to say goodbye to my Korg Oasys. For the last 12 months i found myself using it less and less and so now i only use Logic and Soft Synths/Samples to create my music...

Beautifully arrangement and rendered...The production values are A+. Really good mid rhythm syncopation with cool elements to enchance every measure of this delightful track...really enjoyed it
Lovely build into this. It gently rocks in a warm and sweet way. Brilliant job!
WOW!! This is actually pretty good stuff...
Honestly...i am very impressed. not used to hearing this kind of quality.
I remember a group called the Art of Noise. Do I remember wrong? Anyway I love your sound. You're one of my favorite listens. By the way I don't just hum your songs, I put my own lyrics to them and sing, sing, sing. Thanks
Thanks to all for your kind comments. I've added two new tracks from my latest Album "There is Logic in my Madness" which is a slight different departure from my usual tracks but I hope you like them none the less.
Long live the Korg Oasys!
Cheers..
Nigel
