There aren’t many artists who can consistently craft beautiful chillout music, track after track: Cell, Aes Dana, Puff Dragon, maybe a handful of others. After hearing Cli, Bootstrap, and a dozen or so other incredible tunes from Workbench, I’d put his work among the very best without hesitation. Keep it coming!
2. lots of people have stumbled across your music bundled with other selections in p2p settings. carbon based lifeforms have a nice little donation button on their home page with the statement “If you downloaded our music on p2p or otherwise and still want to pay us, feel free to donate.” seems like a good idea.
I’m a regular listener at DI.fm Chillout, and I must say, while it is a good station, there is only a handful of artists that truly stand out, and make you dig up the player window to see who’s the artist.
For example Cell, S.Zeilenga, Xerxes, Marco Torrance, Aes Dana, AmBeam, and YOU.
I’ve heard some of the songs from Infinite Lives there and was so enchanted by their beautiful, melancholic, happy, romantic vibes, that I just had to go by the album from ITunes.
I like all titles on the album, but Infinite Lives is my favorite – I think it’s a masterpiece!
Thank you very much for what you do, and please keep doing it.
Best regards, Jewe
The best ambient/chillout music.
Real CDs would be great, altough digital downloads in FLAC format would suffice in most cases, I guess… so that the quality does not suffer when people pay for the music…
Beautiful mellow and so confident in production. Thank you so much – music one can relax into with the knowldge that it is there to support you. Great for journeying.
I just have no words to describe the experience that I have when listening to your music !
It awakes the most beautiful and the most profound emotion inside my soul…
thank ya !!!
I wish I had better command of the English language so I could properly express how much I love your music. The sounds you produce explore so many emotions it’s almost unreal for me to be able to hear exactly what I’m feeling. I actually get goosebumps sometimes while listening. I just heard your new album on DI.fm and just had to buy it. You really take electronic music to new levels and the result is perfection.
Thank you for your beautiful music, and best wishes.
Your music inspired me very often and made me visualize things that I before felt incapable of feeling.. In times of lonelyness, depression or just when I felt like calming down, you gave my imagination its wings back to fly away and find again the long lost will to live. Your music is just beautiful. Thank you.
Please continue to produce your outstanding music. Yours is a unique, unparalleled style, capable of sentiment and genuine emotion. Soft composition wise, yet resonating with such depth. As soon as i first listened to you Infinite Lives EP i knew i was a fan. Top quality soundscapes.
Your music is fantastic. Me and my family listen to it all the time, especially on those quiet evenings. I’ll be giving one or more of your albums to my dad for his birthday coming up.
Addictive and euphoric.. the two words that come to mind when listening to Zoo. It wrote the soundtrack of my life for about 6 months following its inclusion on P9 Ambient Podcast! Keep it up!
I love electronic music and Workbench is surely in my top10. Lounge, Sunflower, De la terre ŕ la cime, … new album Infinite lives… oh my god they are great:-) Listening to them almost everyday and never have enough. Thank you for your music, which is doing this world a better place.
I listened to Halcyon on a chill set and after a search on the net… downloaded Zoo album and other tracks… woooowwww, I ended speechless ! Incrdible sounds, incredible imagination!!! This is what I call chill&ambient ! Keep that way !
hi… i remember your music… when it was in “xm”-files… i loved it… too much… “level d” was amazing group, i always dreamt to be a member of it… ‘coz i was trying to compose myself… i remember nogsf, orion, distance, nexus, xerxes… it was a good times… i’m glad that you now a excellent musician… and now i need to buy your music not downloading it freely… :) thank you…
i’ve downloaded your free albums from your web site and love them very much. i want to buy the “detour” album but i don’t have apaypal account and don’t want to get it from itunes. i wish there was another way to download your album with international credit card. i really want o get this album and i don’t know how.
I LOVE YOU! Your music is simply transcendent, beautiful, sensuous, peaceful, meditative! It makes me want to pirouette on the moon and lie on my back on a cloudy day and watch the clouds gather for rain. Your music brings out so much in me: the poet, the lover and the muse. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will support your music by purchasing your albums past present and future!
I happened to need something which would help me concentrate on my work and got three of your albums froma colleague. Its some of the most beautiful and calming music I have listened to in all of my life. When ever I need to calm down and focus there is nothing that helps me more than Workbench.Thank You and keep up the great work.
I stumbled on to your music on itunes, about a year ago.
I must say I’m really impressed by the melodic landscapes you create. What’s even more impressive is that unlike a lot of Logic and Reason users you don’t use any multisampled pianos and strings. It seems you use exclusively use synths.
I’m a musician as well, and I can learn so much from you. Thank you for this music. :)
I was browsing the internet one day for my usual picking of audio delights when I came across Paper Frogs. I was moved. This may sound cheesy but I truly was. If my soul could cry out into the void this song would be its echo.
If you should ever ask yourself if you ever touched another human being. If you ever left a mark on their lives and changed them, if only in the smallest way. You have…
I became aware of ‘workbench’, due to a friend. Ever since then have loved workbench due to the fact that it isn’t overpowering nor too slow…great for when writing essays or doing other work.
I first heard a couple of tracks on Shoutcast radio. I was instantly hooked and downloaded Detour.
This was soon followed by Infinite Lives, Antistatic & Dream of Silence.
(My comments appear as KL754 on iTunes).
Your music stands head & shoulders above most things I’ve heard, bearing in mind I have some 75 Tangerine Dream albums.
I also dabble in sequencing though I only use Fruityloops so I can to some degree appreciate the work involved.
Thank you for giving me hours of musically pleasure.
I’ve been a fan of your work since I heard Halcyon on S. Zeilinga’s chillout mix Ever Since the Day We Met . . .
However, I have never been a fan of the iTunes store as the quality is fairly low. Is there a chance you’ll make your albums available for purchase on a site like audiojelly? What is the kbp/s rate of the tracks on this site?
My compliments again on the music. It’s wonderful.
Hello… I was just listening to Zoo and it give me the desire to know if you’ve made some new album.
I grab your link’s homepage from Kahvi and finally discover that a new album is out in 2008 with some explicit Amiga’s title :)
I still have your .XM music but i’ve not listen to them since a long time… Level-D was a nice netlabel (rhhha nostalgic ;)
I hope you could release your music also in .ogg or why not even in lossless format
Best regards from France…
…only amiga makes it possible hehe…
ce dernier album est épique, mais le dernier morceau est légendaire !
On dirait un feu d’artifice pour riche:
c’est génial, on en a plein les yeux.. c’est vraiment tout bon.. puis on se dit “ha fini… ben la vache c’était vraiment bien”
Et puis à ce moment la BOUM ça redémarre et c’est encore plus affolant que la première partie et ça continue.. et ça reste terrible !
j’aime vraiment beaucoup ce nouvel album. Mmais le dernier morceau… rhaaa !
Infinite Lives is my favourite Workbench album…
I don’t know if I have been influenced by the song titles but some sounds remind me old Amiga soundtracks…
Thank you Workbench for all the good music you have done and I wish you the best for your new projects!
Great music, I had never heard of workbench-music before , today I was listning to di.fm and some crocodile tear touched my heardrum…. Now I’m very happy that I’ve found you guys.
Thankx, From Mozambique
Thank you very much for the beautiful music, I happen to enjoy it a lot. It’s been a long time since I have had a great opportunity to listen to such a unique sound.
When I hear your music it makes me stop and think about life – and there are very few artists that can do that. Keep on making music, you inspire quite a few people.
I really love the demo tracks from Vi! The chords in Track 1 reminds me of the work Jon Hallur did on the EVE-Online soundtrack, which was absolutely astounding. The electronic ambience in Track 2 is also immensely beautiful! It takes me back to the 8bit scene days, and I really hope that you pursue this style in more tracks on Vi!
I am delighted to find your music today at CBC Radio 3. Your website is beautiful, and it fits this music.
I have linked to your website and to your R3 playlist from my MySpace where I have a list of excellent online music sources. I also display my photographic art there.
Just bought everything you have on offer. Your music is the most consistently wonderful listening experience out of every artist I hear on the chillout channel on di.fm, well done. Why have you not hit the mainstream yet?
I recorded a couple of your pieces from ww.sky.fm (Halcyon) to name one and it was the truest emboiment of the type of music that I love. I had no idea that “there was more where that came from”. It always takes me to where I want to be especially after long stressful days and I hope I speak for all the true ambient music fans out there when I say thank you to God for blessing you with such a creative talent and thank YOU for putting it to use. Please keep on writing and composing. You’ll always have a listening ear.
How are you , I hope that you are well and fine
And all things right , and enjoying a good life
What get out from your soul matches what my soul really needs
Your music beats , your tones of spirits , your neverending voices
And all the things that you have giving my soul
It is my first time to feel that your music is telling the others what
My heart want to say . .
I feel that your music is spreading the secrets of my heart to all
The people around me . .
But the only thing I can’t understand ,
How could you know what my heart beats want to say . .
Your rhythm is my story , your beats are the rhythm of my life
And your piano is how I feel . .
And the most amazing thing is that all the others I know
Hearing your music feel the same as I feel .
How could you do so ?
I feel you are so ambiguous , so the only thing I wish from you
Is to see your picture , and not the only one picture ,
Please send me your pictures as you can , and any information
About your age , your nationality , your hopes , your dreams
Your lover , and anything
Many thanks
Hi Workbench. I’m listening to your tracks for the first time as I write, having found them at Last.fm – beautiful music! I have added you to the artist connections at Pixies Palace group at Last.fm and to the artist radio. Thanks for the music and cheers from Brisbane Australia :D
It’s been a while since I bought Detour, and whenever I listen to it, Roundabout sparks something in my mind that I can’t quite put my finger on. It reminds me a lot of Robert Miles circa 2000. Such an excellent track on an equally excellent CD.
You need to release another CD commercially, ’cause I feel like I’m ripping you off by having paid so little for such great music.
I’ve downloaded, played, replayed again and again the album Zoo. I produce downtempo as a hobby, and I am humbled to hear such amazing music on Zoo.
Chilling, beautiful music. Perfect for the late night, this album is magical, in large part, because it “stays with you” after listening to it….haunting in the best way possible.
It’s been a long time and I suppose you’ve already forgotten about me. I’ve recently visited your page again and found that you’ve updated with Zoo – to which I’m listening right now. I’m absolutely stunned by it, I have to say. It’s even more beautiful that I had expected. Thank you for giving such beauty to us for free.
Bonjour Sébastien, il y a longtemps que j’entends parler de tes compositions, et finalement je peux les découvrir. Ce que tu fais est vraiment magnifique, continue pour notre plus grand plaisir ! – Roseanne
I found your site looking for good layout design, and being a musician I checked out some samples, then downloaded zoo ;). Very nice work. I like the atmospheric elements and the mood it sets. I personnaly would change the selection of a few instruments, but overall I think it’s great. Some just came off very bright and trance-like, yet in a softer style song. I plan on listening more though. Good work, good find :)
Hello, listening to your B-sides. I reaaly lika what i hear, you are very good, atmospheric music, really original. My favo is “Metro” but i liked the other ones also (The opening, bunny tell) . keep up the good work.
hi! I’ve just made little investigation after hearing your track on DI.fm, i’d like to start with greetings to you and work you’ve don’e so far. For now my ambitions exceed my talent but I’ll do my best to make music like you do. Can you tel me how to start, I do not want to go on public with my staf so i can use any software i’ll “find” on internet. Please tell me which software is good to know, wchih you are using?? Maby with this andmy little talent i’ll be able to make some nice chll music, I’ll send you if you want of course! greetings to you.
Charmante et délicate; magnifique mais humble… comment est-ce possible de ne pas s’accrocher a une telle mélodie? J’adore. – d’un fan de Montréal, Québec. Canada
felicitation pour c bo site. en demenageant je suis tombe sur la casette que tu m’avais copie en 1997 quand tu etais de passage a lausanne et j’ai adore la reecouter. merci
I have purchased all of your albums and can’t wait for “album 5″. Listening to your music has become a nightly event for my wife and I. You will have a hard time topping “DETOUR”, but from the sounds of previews 1 and 2 you are going in the right direction. Thank you for the hours upon hours of entertainment you have given us.
A truly wonderful design. I find the style changing sheets in the top left corner especially amazing.
I believe that I don’t have words for everything I like about it.
I shall tell all my friends about it though, as you suggested.
D’album en album … J’ai suivis l’évolution de ta musique.
Elle m’a accompagné durant mes longues heures (nuits) de travail et de détente.
Ce dernier opus (Detour) marque une étape de plus dans l’évolution de ta créativité musicale, une étape que je savoure en attendant le prochain album.
Continue sur cette voie …
Salut Sébastien,
Je vois que tu as parcouru pas mal de chemin depuis Saint Laurent (informatique). Félicitation pour ta carrière musicale! Beau boulot, j’aime ce que tu fais, même si je suis un peu plus ambient/électro. Bonne chance pour la suite!

Don’t know the other albums, but I feel Zoo tracks as truly inspired.
Brings my awareness to a more silent, peaceful state of being. Thank you.

Please send me your pictures as you can , and any information
About your age , your nationality , your hopes , your dreams
Your lover , and anything
Many thanks

Hi Workbench. I’m listening to your tracks for the first time as I write, having found them at Last.fm – beautiful music! I have added you to the artist connections at Pixies Palace group at Last.fm and to the artist radio. Thanks for the music and cheers from Brisbane Australia :D

Are you composing a new album? i listened you long ago……( i think remember that you used to K6/2 with a tracker ?
Greetings.

Amazing …
De La Terre a La Crime… beautiful.
Big thanks for your music.

It’s been a while since I bought Detour, and whenever I listen to it, Roundabout sparks something in my mind that I can’t quite put my finger on. It reminds me a lot of Robert Miles circa 2000. Such an excellent track on an equally excellent CD.
You need to release another CD commercially, ’cause I feel like I’m ripping you off by having paid so little for such great music.

I’ve downloaded, played, replayed again and again the album Zoo. I produce downtempo as a hobby, and I am humbled to hear such amazing music on Zoo.
Chilling, beautiful music. Perfect for the late night, this album is magical, in large part, because it “stays with you” after listening to it….haunting in the best way possible.
Thank you for making your work available

It’s been a long time and I suppose you’ve already forgotten about me. I’ve recently visited your page again and found that you’ve updated with Zoo – to which I’m listening right now. I’m absolutely stunned by it, I have to say. It’s even more beautiful that I had expected. Thank you for giving such beauty to us for free.

Just listened to Zoo (dusk) on di.fm, and about to download the album. If it’s as good as that one track, ….
December 24th, 2006 at 6:44 pm
Brilliant music, well done! So nice that something so good happens to be free.
December 8th, 2006 at 6:43 pm
I have been looking for this kind of music for years and finally i found it. Thank you, you have done very good job.

Bonjour Sébastien, il y a longtemps que j’entends parler de tes compositions, et finalement je peux les découvrir. Ce que tu fais est vraiment magnifique, continue pour notre plus grand plaisir ! – Roseanne

I found your site looking for good layout design, and being a musician I checked out some samples, then downloaded zoo ;). Very nice work. I like the atmospheric elements and the mood it sets. I personnaly would change the selection of a few instruments, but overall I think it’s great. Some just came off very bright and trance-like, yet in a softer style song. I plan on listening more though. Good work, good find :)

Zoo is really beutiful and well made to my ears. Thankyou!
October 4th, 2006 at 6:41 pm
THANK YOU for ZOO
As with ALL of your compositions, it is TOP SHELF. EPILOGUE I is my favorite.

I have purchased all of your albums and can’t wait for “album 5″. Listening to your music has become a nightly event for my wife and I. You will have a hard time topping “DETOUR”, but from the sounds of previews 1 and 2 you are going in the right direction. Thank you for the hours upon hours of entertainment you have given us.
March 24th, 2005 at 6:33 pm
I have recently bought Detour and Antistatic. Your music is amazingly refreshing. Kudos!
March 10th, 2005 at 6:33 pm
You’re a great inspiration to me right now. I’m just begining to get interested in digital music after four years of design work.
You have a wonderful site here. As soon as I’m sure I can afford it, I’ll be buying several of your albums.
February 27th, 2005 at 6:30 pm
A truly wonderful design. I find the style changing sheets in the top left corner especially amazing.
I believe that I don’t have words for everything I like about it.
I shall tell all my friends about it though, as you suggested.
Yours
Diana

Love the design!
January 22nd, 2005 at 6:29 pm
Amazing! Simply amazing! Every album is better than one before and detour is easy to listen to. Miss ya dude!
December 24th, 2004 at 6:28 pm
“Detour” is 5 star. Absolutely amazing.
Anyone who likes New Age should have this CD.
December 1st, 2004 at 6:28 pm
Love your music so much. Pls post me any of your new albums. A fan from China

D’album en album … J’ai suivis l’évolution de ta musique.
Elle m’a accompagné durant mes longues heures (nuits) de travail et de détente.
Ce dernier opus (Detour) marque une étape de plus dans l’évolution de ta créativité musicale, une étape que je savoure en attendant le prochain album.
Continue sur cette voie …
Your best friend Balou ;)

Salut Sébastien,
Je vois que tu as parcouru pas mal de chemin depuis Saint Laurent (informatique). Félicitation pour ta carrière musicale! Beau boulot, j’aime ce que tu fais, même si je suis un peu plus ambient/électro. Bonne chance pour la suite!
