[Trevor Hickson]

Hi folks,

I thought I'd take the opportunity to say hello and introduce myself, hopefully to find some new friends and supporters here.

I'm a composer and musician, influenced greatly by the earlier Jarre sounds and style, but also Kitaro. Recent comments have also likened my current work to Tangerine Dream!

Being a guitarist originally, I originally wrote and recorded "Eclipse" 20+ years ago, using just a guitar synth and multitracker tape deck, but could never quite acheive that wonderful ever-changing swirling sound notable in Equinox 2. However, during a long period of writer's block on a new project I decided to remake Eclipse using more up to date keyboards and effects.

Now a new energy and enthusiasm has been found, greater depth to my music and more inspiration.

I have been criticised in the past for 'trying to be Jarre', but I will only admit to being influenced and inspired by his earlier work and don't wish to mimic him. Much of my own music is less up-beat and with an orchestral flavour...

I hope you will enjoy what I offer.

All the best,

Trevor Hickson

Listened to your samples. Very good. I have not got a musical bone in my body.

Thanks paul... the samples are reduced sound quality... I wrote that about 20 years back and have recently reworked it with better synth sounds...

I'm now working on a new full length album "Elements" hopefully released in the autumn - longer, better, more complex!

Thanks for the compliments! Full Eclipse album can be downloaded for £1.99 from the site at present
