Sedative

deep breaths

Untill about a month ago I had never properly noticed the continuous singing of birds outside of my bedroom window during this time of year. It actually makes for quite a nice calming backdrop while I work on various music! So here is a lil piano diddy from me dedicated to Springtime.

Solo Piano One

Tracklist:
1. Solstice
2. Locket
3. Cherish

Stemming from a single note on a glockenspiel, over the course of a year Solstice has grown into a semi-autobiographical account of the childhood experience of winter time.

By using a sonic palette of pianos, strings, live drums, foley samples and synthesisers, Solstice blends the purity obtained from acoustic recordings with the technical manipulation only possible in electronic music production.

The purpose of this Solstice is to engulf the listener into an imagined world, inducing a feeling of wonder and childlike Zen.

Thank you, and enjoy.

03 Cherish

02 Locket

01 Solstice

In April of 2017 I had the pleasure of writing a soundtrack to accompany a contermpory circus performance by The Roundhouse Street Circus Collective.

This score was made over the course of 3 days whilst working closely with directors Charlotte Mooney and John Berkavitch on site at the Roundhouse in Camden.

The performance is available to watch in full here:

A Thousand Fibres

made in one night after purchasing a prophet-08

all synths sounds from the prophet, percussive sounds from a vintage typewriter

false prophets

sine waves generated with absynth then effected by crystallizer
an occasional bit crusher is thrown in for good measure
all backed by the soothing sounds of my local train station

generative sine waves

Experiments in creating imagined worlds.
