AD Music - Geigertek

Geigertek - Albums

Another new artist to AD Music, Geigertek, is based in Norwich and his debut album "The Garden" is a superb creation released digitally in July 2008 and now available as a CDr release with AD Music's usual high quality artwork and on body print.

Neil's musical influences will be very obvious to many listening to his work. Without shame, he happily and enthusiastically cites as his main influences people such as John Foxx, Mike Oldfield, Isao Tomita, Gary Numan, Jean Michel Jarre, Ultravox, Kraftwerk and Enigma, the very music he listens to when not writing or recording himself.

Geigertek in Concert; The Awakening Concerts; SATURDAY 27th JUNE 2009, The venue is in Branston in the West Midlands - more details to be posted later.

This superb creation is an exciting mixture of electronic music sounds and styles that has its roots firmly in the "melodic new age" style of instrumental music, with strong hints of romanticism and no shortage of great tunes. However, where Geigertek really succeeds is in creating his own unique style and sound based on solid musical arrangements, some great solos, both synth and piano, and some inventive sequencing.

There is also an unusually strong variation of moods here that really works well. From the mystical tones of the opening track "The Garden" through various sonic journeys that incorporate both strident and laid back rhythms, through the classical excursion on "The Sculpture and the Wall", the gentle melody of "Songbird bathing in Blue" to the stunningly atmospheric "View from a White Room", this is a superb album of well crafted, heartfelt instrumental music that although walking the line of melodic new age, never crosses into the sugary sweet. The Garden is sure to find favour with those who like their electronic music varied, emotive and melodic and is a welcome addition the AD Music catalogue.

"The Garden captures the melodic strength and grandiosity that is so often found in the best music on the AD Music label, particularly if you veer towards Vangelis or slip into a Tangerine Dream. Geigertek pleasingly paints with a full sonic palette, and also effectively combines traditional synth with quite contemporary and wide spectrum of electronic sounds, showing a fondness for echoey piano and choral samples for added mysticism. Great Stuff"

"Geigertek" - Neil Fellowes

Neil's style of composition and production combines the traditional tones of the piano with synthesizers and layered processed sounds made up of electronic computer-based instruments, treated vocals, synthetic rhythms and percussion. He is a strong advocate of the use of modern technology for the creation of music. His personal recording set up is of contemporary design and build, centred around a computer system, using VST synthesizers and effects units. Hardware and cabling has been kept to the absolute minimum to ensure a clutter-free environment within which to work. Neil strongly favours the production techniques of the late German producer, Conny Plank, and his ardent belief in the enormous possibilities of electronic music, the creation of atmospheric electronic soundscapes, blended with conventional or natural sounds, and using them in unconventional ways. Neil believes the production process to be as important as the creation of the music in the first place and therefore takes time to learn the capabilities of the equipment and software he uses.

Album Reviews

The Garden

Review by musikzircus (Germany)

the garden by geigertekOne of 4 great new artists discovered by AD Music is Neil Fellowes who records his electronic soundscapes under the pseudonym Geigertek. The debut album "The Garden" derives its inspiration from the traditional electronics of Jean Michel Jarre, Kraftwork and Mike Oldfield and the more pop orientated music of Ultravox, Enigma, John Foxx, Gary Numan and Isao Tomita. The album opens with the title track and the impressive piano and synths are indeed reminiscent of early John Foxx instrumental ballads. "Secrets of The Ivy" has a very spacey beginning and develops into a great track with an irresistible sound and a great melody. The same is true of "The Day it Rained" with its eastern influences and another very catchy melody.

The rest of the album is equally as involving, mostly the melody lines are played on piano with additional synth effects and all are well structured with nice rhythms. This has the effect of making each single track a small works of art. There is a certain resemblance to Andy Pickford at times and that is very clear on the concluding track "The Dreams of future Past". But this is an original and very interesting debut and I am very excited to hear what the next Geigertek album will bring.

More soon....

AD Music was founded in 1989 by David Wright as a vehicle for his solo music and merged with Robert Fox's FX Music soon afterwards. During the 1990's AD Music established a reputation for producing high quality instrumetal, ambient and space music with an expanding catalogue and artist roster. The labels philosophy has always been to follow its own path, not current trends; building on rather than emulating the current and historical electronica. The label now covers all forms of electronic music, including melodic chill out, classic electronica, space music and even trance music.
