The Story so far...
SOUNDICIAN
Released 2000
" Soundicians' debut is a charming record of inspired and inspirational music...textures range from smooth waves of sound to more rough patches, melodic and sometimes quirky... at other times, mellow and meditative.."
Richard di Santo - Incursion Music Review - 2000
"...challenging so not as to be the latest ear candy...this is some tasty stuff, brimming with shadowy darkness, sexy rhythms and a velvet smooth assortment of sensuous synths..."
Bill Binkleman - Wind and Wire - 2000
“This is a worthy adventure and a viable candidate for best newcomer..."
Jim Brenholts - Ambient Visions - 2000
THE BEAUTY IS KNOWING...
Released 2002
“Soundicians’ eclectic music leads to shimmering horizons of ambient / space ... they dare to challenge and delve into more darker not so easy territories with an experimental angle. Overall the music shifts between lighter shades, lingering all by its own, clinging together in very bright outstanding sound production quality."
Bert Strolenberg - KLEM - 2002
"...without being poppish, ethereal without being cloying and using electronic rhythms in inventive and clever ways......Recommended."
Bill Binkleman - Wind and Wire - 2002
“This wonderful CD is a gem, worthy of inclusion in many 'Best of the Year' lists"
Jim Brenholts - Ambient Visions - 2002
TRANQUILICITY
Released
“... These two display an integrating melodic sensibility with more overt electronic music elements to yield such sweet selections that alternatively twinkle, shine, float, bounce and soar. To my ears no-one else is making music that exhibits the same kind of cross hybridization with such a degree of quality and sincerity. Soundician are both unique and talented."
Bill Binkleman - Wind and Wire - 2003
"..A special melange of rather challenging ambient music. The exquisite production and mixing skills of Keith again make it a joy to listen to.Tranquilicity offers something for every fan of nowadays ambient music, so make sure to give this CD or sound bites of it a listen"
Bert Strolenberg -2003
SEVEN SISTERS

"...brilliant...beautiful...and soul cleansing"
Karen Larsen - Earthtones - WERU -FM- Maine - USA
"...another jewel in the crown...."
Captain Christopher - Phoenix Flight - WTUL - New Orleans - USA

Francisco Manuel Lopez - La Otra Orilla - RADIO DESPI - Spain
memorophilia
Released 2006
“…they consistently deliver some of the most engaging, likeable, yet unique electronic instrumental music, spanning several genres, that I have heard over the years…I highly recommend it…Bravo…”
Bill Binkleman – Binklemans Corner – New Age Reporter – August 2006
“…my first impression is that in all it's variety this is your best album until now!!! “
Tim van Veen – Soon Comes the Night – Radio SLOR - Netherlands
STILL
Released 2008
'Still” is an electic and inspirational recording...'
Bert Strolenberg - Sonicimmersion - 2008
'an album of beauty, subtle complexity and that intriguing quality that makes an instrumental album draw you in and listen to it, rather than let it wash over you. Soundician continue to explore and grow into that ambient sphere of their own creation.'
Jeremy Keens - Ampersand Etcetera - 2008
"..succeeded in creating a mesmerizing atmosphere...your work has a real intimate feel to it..."
Andy Blossy - Nightlight / KUAC-FM - 2008
L.S
Released 2009
'Based on the work of painter L.S. Lowry (known for his industrial landscapes of British Manchester), the English duo says about the music to "expect something different with a Soundician voice". This album indeed sounds different from their previous work, as it has a strong spherical approach with lots of underpinning melancholic undercurrents and soft shimmering soundscapes.'
Bert Strolenberg - Sonicimmersion - 2009
The progress of O.C. & Kit Johnson as Soundician is better w/ every release. New CD: L.S is no exception. It's super!
Captain Christopher - WTUL / Full Circle Studios - 2009
TURQUOISE
(single)
Released 2011
The Speaking Earth
(2011)
" The Speaking Earth', is a strong, well crafted release. I have been enjoying its transitions and variety since receiving it.
