Moving Mazes(CH)->Psyched/SR, Crossover, Eclectic?

Complex time signatures are used on at least one song of this 1st virtual CD, but not much more than that. This is the result of the random choice. This is going to change with the next CDs, as at least about 50 - 100 songs or more do have (very) complex and changing time signatures.

I did the Moving Mazes Music mainly on keyboards. 

Some hand-made synthesizers sounds are unique in this music. They help to achieve kind of a distinctive sound.

There are some freely (zero dollar) downloadable songs on my site. Other are for sale. But you can hear them once or twice freely. This will help you to make up your mind. And to better categorize this music and decide if it can be accepted on the Prog Archives site. Every week or two, I will upload one additional song, until it reaches at least 15-20 songs (already ready). In case Prog Archives is interested to obtain one or two of these songs in advance please contact [email protected]. Same for web prog-rock radios, if they are interested in (temporary) exclusive content.

Bio:

Born 1954, I studied music theory, violin, piano in the classical music conservatory of Geneva where I still live. I obtained a 1st prize in music theory. I also play bass and guitar, but not very often, and not on this 1st album. (Although the first ideas for the first song of that album was found on guitar. But the guitar was afterwards recreated on keyboards) That song, that I consider the best on that album, was therefore named "At least some kind of guitar". It might be the last I will upload on my Site. Except if you ask me to change my mind about that.

I work in a bank, were I do functional testing in the IT department.

Moving Mazes, the concept :

The idea of the name "Moving Mazes" came from some reflections about living in a physical world, in which we learn by trial and error, hurting ourselves by hitting walls we do not see at first. 
Life has become so complex, that it is like being in a moving maze, where the walls in fact do move. There are so many dimensions available for examination in the external reality, i.e. so many possible points of view, that the concept of a moving maze may well describe what human life is and how it feels being one, at least at times. 

The name also implies a kind of game aspect as well, as reality can be explored, a better image of it can be made, and a better use and understanding of what life really is can bring achievements. 

I, Jean-David Roth, have several other projects... :

1. Reduce unnecessary suffering on the planet.
2. Film scenario writing
3. Game programming, Virtual reality, NVC (NonViolent Communication)...
4. Film music writing
5. Software writing

... to name a few.

Miscellaneous :

I will assemble a real band with other musicians if my music finds an audience, then perform concerts. Tell me if you think it should be done, and be part of that audience if you like it.

I twice performed live under the name "Eyes in Eyes". I also played with other bands when I was aged from 17 to 27, but too much work was put into these bands that regularly split at the time they finally were ready to make concerts, sometimes just performing one gig in the better cases.

My main influences are Genesis, Caravan, Gentle Giant, Jean-Luc Ponty, Kit Watkins, Robert Wyatt, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, and many many others (Recently Opeth and Riverside).
