This track started life as a request from a friend for a fashion video backing piece some time in 2012, and ended up in quite a different place after going through a few iterations. 

Finalising this version is how I closed off 2013 and a chapter in my life, following among other things a very interesting if somewhat one-sided discussion with a tree. 

Thanks to Gregg Janman for his work mastering the track. (hermetechmastering@gmail.com)

Nyaope the Dryad

I wrote this in JHB in 2014, nostalgic about my time in Europe and, strangely, the feeling of standing on an open train platform, slowly waking up on a winter morning in a random city, and feeling the day open up as the journey progressed.

Platform 6

Song written for a friend who left to go live in Hong Kong. An asian theme overlaid with a western beat written at 888 tempo.

Orientation

Beginning as a way of dealing with insomnia, anger, and stochastic calculus, this song developed into a soundtrack for the seemingly incessant rainfall and occasional scenic bike ride which epitomised much of my time in Cambridge. Like my stay, it develops a theme then ends rather abruptly.

This track was written in there during 2009 and dusted off and polished up in Johannesburg in Jan 2013

Special thanks to Michael Lawrence for his help and Kara Anderson for her patience.

Drifting away

A short ambient track about cycles, limits and contradiction. 

It has a slow feel, though it was written at 999 bpm. The low end distorts if played too loudly, but in its way that works with the theme so I let it be. 

B(r)eat(h)e

A collaboration between Glitch and I. He built the sound set and I did the arrangement... Someone still needs to do the mastering...

The track started out in August 2011 as a backing piece for a fashion concept video called "Dust" and grew from there, hence the track name "Dustrial" - a hat-tip to the industrial music of the 90's that we were in to.   

The image I've used used was a random awesome find. I searched under the track name and found a great brand by the same title.
