Cropleyb

I created a website for my music: http://www.bruce-cropley.com a couple of years ago, through which you can buy mp3s of your favourite pieces, or the whole "Modal Podal" or "We Are Alive" album as a CD. :)

I like (and make music in) lots of different types of music, mainly Jazz, Latin, Classical, Electronic, Experimental.
My aim is to compose music in every style I like. It could take me a while. :)
My influences include: Dave Brubeck, Mike Oldfield, Cubanismo, Bill Evans, JS Bach, The Beatles, AC Jobim, Thelonius Monk, Gil Evans, Michael Jackson and many others.

I have studied piano, trumpet and drums with a few different teachers. I used to jam regularly with friends, and have been in a few bands. My musical interests have been mainly jazz and latin.

At the moment, I am mainly using Logic Studio 9; to give myself some more sounds to play, I bought NI Komplete 5. To generate music more quickly, I bought Band In A Box 2012.5.
Make sure you look at the genres of my music before you press the play button; the styles are very different.
I have also created two demo pieces which contain excerpts from several of my pieces: http://soundcloud.com/cropleyb/demo
http://soundcloud.com/cropleyb/demo-2

I aim to create musical pieces that are profoundly irrelevant to society, creative, musical and humorous.
Anyway, I hope you like my compositions, please comment on them and/or visit my site.

BTW I'm particularly open to collaboration with vocalists. Send me a message if you're interested.

Thanks,
Bruce
