I live a dual musical life. I spend some of my time working on alt.pop/singer-songwriter/electronic music. I spend some of my time writing serious choral and classical music.
My classical composer website and mobile site are up and running! You are invited to take them for a test-drive at:

New Official Geoffrey Bell Website!
I've spent recent weeks trying to consolidate all of the music I have written and recorded, to get it "out there" so people can hear it. I'm reaching way back to the 1970s to dust off old recordings, and organizing more recent work, putting it where it can be heard. If a songwriter writes songs that nobody hears, do the songs really exist?
So, warts and all, I have created the New Official Geoffrey Bell website and mobile site. It has six samples of my songs, spanning a range of genres. It has links to iTunes, Amazon and Google Play, where more songs are available.
There is more to organize, more music to make public, and there are so many more songs waiting to be finished. Happy listening!

Electronic Rock - 1978
Amongst the reels of tape that were digitally restored, we recovered three pieces of electronic rock. I wrote and recorded all three in the Electronic Music Lab at the University of Calgary. Each instrumental part was recorded one track at a time, built layer upon layer until I ran out of tracks.
"What?" is a solo instrumental piece of electronic rock. The studio Moog was monophonic, meaning it could only play one note at a time. It took forever, but I had fun!
"You and I" features Pat Tufts doing vocals with me. "Look Around" is my call for positive action in the world.
If you enjoyed electronic rock in the late seventies, you might enjoy a blast from the past with these!
