Composer and synthesist Aron kirk continues to shape and refine his beautiful,yet dark style of ambient,and sometimes classical style of music at his Sadness-Upon-Sea Studio.His enigmatic pieces of instrumental music are a serene blend of piano,synthesizers,woodwinds, percussion,minimal vocals,loops and home recorded samples.When composing and recording,Kirk spends time slowly building the compositions,which are all based on life's pleasant,and sometimes not so pleasant scenarios. "They say music soothes the soul, but I sometimes wanted to create music that leaves the soul unsure and uneasy. I feel music should try and mimic the tones of life and life can bring in many different emotions. I think a piece of music can sometimes become more convincing' if it includes 'all' the feelings that life brings to us, no matter how disappointing or unpleasant they may be". life". Aron Kirk constantly works on new material combining elegance,humour,and sadness into his compositions. Aron's influences for his instrumental works are culled from a variety of what he refers to as "Instrumental masters". "American Musicians Tim Story and Dwight Ashley are simply too important an influence to omit. Their ethereal but sometimes disturbing compositions are among my favourite instrumental pieces.Other influences include Vangelis, John Foxx, Ludovico Einaudi, Craig Armstrong, Gary Numan and Christopher Young. Those who have heard Aron's instrumental music have described it as "ambient, relaxing, moving and menacing." When people say these words to me that's a very rewarding thing as that's exactly the kind of music that I want to achieve. For CD's,Contact and News visit:www.sadnessuponsea.com
