Martin has been composing music for over 40 years, and played with various
groups of musicians before concentrating on his own albums of instrumental
music.
He uses keyboards and harp, plus kalimba, hammered dulcimer, guitar, zither,
flutes, strings, and percussion, along with his collection of Chinese,
Japanese, and Tibetan bells, gongs, and singing bowls, to create a rich
tapestry of ever-evolving sound.
His music has been described in reviews as ‘a breath of fresh air’, and ‘like a slowly turning musical kaleidoscope’, and is peaceful,
mysterious, and deeply spiritual. It straddles genres including Ambient, Chill-out, Downtempo, New Age, Contemporary Instrumental, Neo-classical, and Music for Meditation.
He practices Meditation, Reiki, and Tai Chi, writes for various music
technology magazines, and contributes regular columns for Sound On Sound
in the UK and Audio Technology in Australia, as well as many features
and reviews.
Martin Walker interviewed by Sonik Matter
Belinda has drawn and painted for most of her life. Motivated by her love of colour, form, and texture, her work derives its inspiration from nature, flowers and trees, the sea, and woods.
Her pastels are inspired by the dramatic coastline of North Cornwall where she lives and works in her studio/gallery in the area near Tintagel, Boscastle, and Port Isaac.
She exhibits original watercolours, soft pastels, hand painted silk scarves and greeting cards.
She also creates individual artwork for Martin's CDs, evoking images from beneath the sea, sacred places, and the land around her - in essence she creates her own world of imagination and colour.
