Inspired by the haiku:

Deep, dark Summer night
A sudden shaft of moonlight
Blesses the temple

Traveller in sound and space.  Enjoying and creating ambient, drone and experimental music.

Electronic music ranging from ambient to experimental.

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey! Your support helps keep this afloat ... and is HUGELY appreciated 🥰

And go past the forest 
where you can slowly wake up
or you can take your time 
and let the seasons catch up
slip off your shoes 
and feel the earth 
your ears will start to ring
and life will sing.

You've just got to swing past the 
forest 
where colours can blind you 
and everything finds you 
it can drive you insane 

You've got to slow down now
or you'll grow cold.
Leap past the flowers that sleep,
The hours that spring those old 
Shadows confuse you 
and the silence is loud 
your're reaching for the light
your're losing sight 

You've just got to swing past the
forest
where colours can blind you 
and everything finds you 
it can drive you insane

and go past the forest 
where you can slowly wake up

I am a human animal & through my creative practices seek to connect to the flow of life to let my innate intuition guide me before my logical mind controls me. To undo or at least side-step some of my cultural conditioning so the spirits of the place I am in can express through me. This  forest I am in, the rock I sit on beside this stream, the footpath below my feet, this vast planet we all live upon. The natural world so often unconsidered, ignored, I aim to give it some voice.
