The Lackey (Canada)

My project, The Lackey, is generally a progressive neo-classical style of music - orchestral instruments and piano. Odd time signatures and non standard structures strongly influenced by symphonic prog rock - (as a point of reference, possibly similar to someone like Anthony Phillips?)

While most of the songs do not use rock instrument sounds, a couple of my songs do. I was joined by drummer Miguel Martinho for 2 songs, and on one of the pieces electric guitar & bass player Robert Wessel.

Plagioclase Feldspar is available for download. It helps me out if you download it from CDbaby, but there is another link at soundcloud if you just want to listen to it:

Waves In Orbit I'm making available from CDbaby for a month or so:
https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/thelackey
or you can listen at soundcloud as well

I think the above two pieces would fit in on an album like Trick of the Tail or Wind & Wuthering, but let me know what you think.

Originally I was using the name Oatmeal Stout for my more rock oriented music. Currently I still have a page at lastFM with another prog song that needs a drum and remix makeover. You can download the full song there (download link is on the right of the page):
http://www.last.fm/music/Oatmeal+Stout/_/Roads,+Neurons

-> you should be able to listen to my music on streaming sites like Spotify as well

You can listen to a lot of my music at soundcloud. I would scroll down to the Plagioclasse song and start listening from there to get the progressive stuff. (A lot of the pieces above that are shorter songs to listen too while playing Skyrim )

For the future, expect more progressive neo-classical music and more rock oriented music with drumming. I'll post here when I have more material available for listening.
