My favourite pieces by Mike are Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Taurus II and Amarok, which may give you some idea of the kind of music I create. I've just uploaded a 50 minute instrumental piece called "The Dreamland Tree" to YouTube and would really appreciate your comments and criticisms. I've been working on the piece for around three years and it's undergone many transformations. The latest version, and the one I'm most happy with, was recorded this Autumn and Winter. The music is available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ1FRDh9lqA and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whd7u4qsAcc I hope you enjoy it! Back to top

dreamland Group: Members Posts: 16 Joined: Dec. 2010 Posted: Jan. 12 2011, 21:03 Thanks Wiga - if you're referring to Danny Elfman's music, then I was quite conscious during writing and recording that some of the choral sounds were rather "Elfmaneseque" I've made a couple of shorter excerpts available for those you can't (or don't fancy) sampling a 50 minute piece. Here they are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xLS531MpS0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFyERFBTzjk Back to top

dreamland Group: Members Posts: 16 Joined: Dec. 2010 Posted: Feb. 04 2011, 21:20 So here is the final version, a little different in parts to that uploaded to YouTube. I've uploaded it as one continuous work, which was the original intention. Putting this one to bed now and starting work on the next piece http://soundcloud.com/dreamlandtreemusic/the-dreamland-tree-richard Back to top

However, I;m on soundcloud at the moment listening to this gorgeous piece of music. I'm 5 minutes in and lappping it up! Quite frankly if the first few minutes are anything to go by then you deseve a slot all on your own on the fans album! This truly is a Mike Oldfield inspired piece of music. I'm just getting to those lush strings.... 8 mins in ....nice! QM Back to top

I can see this being played a great deal in this house. It not only has the M.O influence but a real Celtic flavour comes drifting through. Cheers K.S Back to top
