The DIGITAL ACTIVITY music project, has given writer/producer GEOFF WESTEN, the leeway to experiment with instrumental music without limiting himself to the constraints of the Pop song structure. Read more about BIRTH and XMAS VOL. 1.

BIRTH is DIGITAL ACTIVITY's first-born Rock Ambient CD.

Once Geoff immersed himself into the DISTURBING MUSIC Soundlab, plugged in all his electronic toys, and manipulated the bits and bytes, he created the freeform music he calls Rock Ambient. He gave free reign to his musical instincts and fell into a groove that really doesn't fit any existing musical genre.

"I'm trying to create a new experience for myself and for my listeners," explains digital activist WESTEN of this venture. "My approach to ambient has more edge and more punch, extreme dynamics and complex orchestration. It can be hypnotic and beautiful or it can sometimes be a powerful Wall of Sound. BIRTH is an eclectic hybrid of Rock Ambient gone wild."

Each of the sonic themes on BIRTH is a conceptual soundscape. These narratives can be as calming as a zephyr or as turbulent as a tornado, with electronic currents, Gaelic traces and even the babble of Bulgarian singers. Tracks switch gears from dreamy, sensitive textures to driven, guitar-laden sonic bursts.

When WESTEN sequenced the tracks for the CD, the fact that each piece sounded completely different from the one before and after, didn't bother him at all. "I envision each piece on the CD as an instrumental painting. Each one has its own palette of colors and its own storyline. I think BIRTH delivers something just a little bit different. So for right now, if no one else is going to go down the Rock Ambient road, it might as well be DIGITAL ACTIVITY."

DIGITAL ACTIVITY turned their Soundlab into Santa's workshop for a while, coming out with a little side project called XMAS VOL. 1.

These nine extended Xmas soundscapes start down their traditional musical road before veering off into inventive rhythmic and melodic excursions—from the classic and familiar to the edgy and outrageous! Digital arranger GEOFF WESTEN brings his contemporary touch to the songs he grew up with and incorporates most of Digital Activity's Rock Ambient textures.

XMAS VOL. 1 can instantly evoke Xmas—as an underscore to your holidays, these classic melodies work every time! The instant you hear a few bars from any track, you'll go to that special Xmas place and feel good all over. XMAS VOL. 1 can be played as a background to establish the perfect holiday atmosphere for wrapping a few gifts or baking a batch of cookies. But turn up the volume and you'll be rewarded with the power and energy of the arrangements and orchestration.

There's a surprise around each musical twist and turn. "Jingle Bells" and "Silent Night" have been enhanced and brought into the 21st century; "Home For the Holidays" has a light country feel and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Xmas" is underscored with subtle, jazzy flourishes.

XMAS VOL. 1 will be the perfect backdrop for Xmas every year. It celebrates the holidays with layers of pure digital delight. It's amazing how songs that are so old and familiar can sound so fresh and innovative!
