Reflection dated 4th of October, 2023:

I've just finished mastering 'The Fool in Four Movements' - what a relief! I want to share a few more details with you.

At the beginning of this process, I did not set out with any goal in mind. In fact, I didn't intend to 'write' anything at all. Rather, I was possessed by the spirit of this piece. It has been with me every waking moment of the past month, and has produced a 22 minute musical excursion into realms I've never been before.

I can best describe it as music that could have written in a dream. Have you ever had those dreams where you compose something you fall so in love with, only to awaken and forget it almost instantly?

It is not for me to say whether it is my best work, or any good at all, for that matter! But I can say that, for me, this approaches something far beyond my own ego and towards a state of pure wonder and submission.

I'm really looking forward to sharing it with you, and I hope you'll find something in the music for you.

The Fool in Four Movements

The Fool In Four Movements

Guitar cover of Akira Yamaoka's "Letter From The Lost Days" originally from the Silent Hill 3 soundtracks. I've taken some liberties with the arrangement on this one, but the music is all Yamaoka-san.

This is a demo, and not intended to be a polished performance or recording.

Letter From The Lost Days (Akira Yamaoka)

This is the third track from Morphica's 2012 EP, "Prequel". At the time, the band was comprised of myself on 8 string guitar, Jeremy Poole-Johnson on keys, Drew James Griffiths on vocals, and Daniel Parker on bass.

This track was penned by Jeremy, and incorporates influences from progressive metal, jazz-fusion and 20th century classical music.

LB427 (Morphica)

The opening track from Daniel Wiggins' 2016 EP, "Meditations" - featuring the amazing Drew James Griffiths on vocals.

New dark ambient album from Jeanscape (Australia)

"Discord" represents a conscious effort to create a consistently claustrophobic atmosphere from beginning to end, taking inspiration for ambient artists such as Lustmord, Akira Yamaoka and Tim Hecker. It presents a bleak, yet hopeful perspective of the modern world, and the genealogy of ideas, somewhat using Hannah Arendt's text, "The Human Condition" as a guiding inspiration for the album's narrative. The album tracks a life cycle, perhaps that of an idea rather than a human being.
