Secret Garden Project
Secret Garden Project
Secret Garden Project is a spontaneous ambient music collective, creating music overlapping a variety of ambient genres - organic, dark, instrumental and experimental or imrovisational ambient music.
We are a collaboration of Australasian musicians exploring the boundaries of ambient music, with an emphasis on organic ambient music. Most of these ambient tracks are spontaneous compositions, allowing a wide degree of improvisation within a basic framework.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
A collaboration of Australasian musicians interested in supplying free ambient music mp3s for download. We have been involved in this project for about 5 years
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We don't play anywhere live at the moment but some members are open to the possibility. Most of our music is composed from unrehearsed studio sessions
Your musical influences
personally my influences range from medieval thru to 20th century orchestral to metal and especially 70s rock. i don't think much of this comes thru in the music however. The influences of other members is many and varied. much of the music is meditational or background and sometimes suffers emotional changes
What equipment do you use?
16 track recorder, Roland Xp30 ,many guitars, indian flutes, cello, double bass, mandola, sitars, drums, various percussion, piano, pedal steel, sometimes lots of effects, logic sequencer, voice, many guest musicians
