Medwyn Goodall biography by Timothy Monger @ AllMusic.com

Cornwall-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Medwyn Goodall is well established in the new age field with a massive body of instrumental work dating back to the late 1980s. From his early releases on the New World and Oreade imprints to launching his own MG Music label in 2002, Goodall's expressive music has spanned a variety of styles and tones from spiritual and environmental music to Celtic and lush new age. With several gold-certifications and dozens of albums to his credit, he has remained prolific into the 2020s with releases like The Wolfstone (2021) and the seventh edition of his popular Medicine Woman series.

Born in Yorkshire, Goodall began playing guitar and writing his own material at a young age. He earned local attention with his teenage rock band Trax, and later opened his own recording studio and began producing artists ranging from classical to punk. By the mid-'80s he had taught himself to play numerous instruments including piano, synthesizer, drums, harp, mandolin, panpipes, and vibraphone, and nurtured a growing interest in environmental and new age music. His career as an instrumental composer began with 1987's Emergence, on the New World Music label. From the start, Goodall was a prolific, self-contained force, composing, playing, and producing his own recordings which New World released often two or three times per year. He also launched a side project under the name Midori to handle his more therapeutic and relaxation-based releases. By the late '90s, some of his prodigious output was also handled by the Dutch label Oreade Music. Popular series of this era include The Druid Trilogy, The Arthurian Collection and the ongoing Medicine Woman series.

By the early 21st century, Goodall had launched his own MG Music label to handle his releases which included the Midori relaxation and spiritual music as well as the numerous and wide ranging recordings under his own name. Over the next two decades his output remained remarkably steady, frequently averaging two or more releases each year with 2017 alone yielding an impressive four new collections and two anthologies. This carried over into the next decade with collections like 2021's Learning to Be Free and 2022's Medicine Woman (Seven).

The music reflects our fascination with comets, the prophecies and the mystical unknown, Medwyn builds upon exquisite instrumental solos on classical guitar, obo, flute and piano with orchestral layers and special effects to create a sense of vastness and bewilderment. Comet is a powerful journey through light and darkness.
