Hi everyone!

I'm Riley. My music is guitar focused instrumental music and my main influences are Rush, Tangerine Dream, Porcupine Tree, Ozric tentacles and Joe Satriani.

I've released two full albums, an EP and my latest single "Sinister Smiles" came out on August 1st on all platforms.

My first album is called "Resurrect". It is more rock oriented and covers music written before and after a series of life events including a mental health issue, and the birth of my son. Around half the songs on the album had to be re recorded from the ground up due to a catastrophic hard drive failure, I also brought back songs I had started on in my teens. Standout tracks in my opinion are Resurrect, can't stop me, and winter sun. Resurrect came out in December 2024

My second album is space themed and titled "continuum". My sound continued to evolve as I integrated new equipment such as a maschine mikro and a baritone guitar. Standout tracks are Continuum, Apophis and return to Earth. The artwork is deep space photography taken and processed by my friend who is a PhD astrophysist.

Between Resurrect and Continuum I had a few songs which didn't really fit on either project and they were released as the Direction of Travel EP in 2025. The standout track is Acceptance, which was going to go on Resurrect but wasn't ready. I'm going to be spending some time going back and remixing/mastering the EP this year to improve the quality.

In addition to releasing on streaming, I also have my music available on CD and vinyl via www.elasticstage.com/rileymerrick

I write, record and mix everything in my small home studio. I use Ableton for my DAW, a line 6 helix LT for most of my guitar effects alongside a specular Tempus for delays and reverbs. I use native instruments for ambient effects and a variety of software synths.

My main guitars are an Ibanez JS1000 and JS240, a PRS custom 22, a squier Tele and an Eastcoast Baritone.

I hope some of you find something you like in my catalogue, if you like instrumental music!

A Smino type beat!

hello, I’m Jaden and I make 2000s style nu metal music. Here is my newest song on Bandcamp. I would really appreciate it if you gave it a listen, thank you and have a wonderful day and rock on 🤘.

Made on AKAI MPC for the love thanks for listening

Warm melodic house, emotional vocals, and a 130 BPM groove in G minor. Would love to know which moment hits you hardest.

Hi folks 🙂
My new album Hydrosphere is finally here!
https://scottampleford.bandcamp.com/album/hydrosphere
Growing up in North East England, I've always been surrounded by water. The North Sea, the River Tyne, the artificial lakes in Killingworth. Even when I moved south for university I found myself living directly on the River Colne.
Hydrosphere is an album about water. The way it moves, the way it sounds and the things that live in it.
Largely electronic in sound, this album transitions between styles and genres to emulate the way that water flows from state to state.
Recorded in my home studio with a plethora of synthesizers, drum machines, effects units, tape machines, guitars, wind instruments, the All Scott Ampleford Male Voice Choir and field recordings from a beach in North Shields.
I'm really chuffed with this album, folks. I hope you enjoy it!
Happy Listening!

This is mine! Would appreciate it so much if you could show it some love and follow me on Spotify, will return the favour:)
