    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.

    Simply beautiful music.

    I can do my work to your melodies without feeling any interruption in my train of thought… That’s amazing.

    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!

    Hey,

    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!

    Thanks for all your great music!

    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.

    I’ve added two of your songs to my Soulwindows.com playlist at CBC R3, prominently placed.

    All my best to you.

    Hey,

    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?

    In any case, really nice stuff, thanks :)

    Hi Workbench, your latest addition to the “Zoo” album is absolutely brilliant.

    I really hope you keep producing such excellent pieces for many years to come!

    Hey Workbench

    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.

    P.S. Crocodile Tears is simply beutiful.

    Hi Dear

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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.
