oh and superb lyrics did I forget to say that...

You are natural songwriter, I am very impressed with the lyrics on this one! My favorite line - I see you're playing your favorite song It's always on repeat! <3

............. its very difrend..... deep......hmmmm...............: o)))))))))

Really quite beautiful--there's something about your breath and the way you deliver these lines that feels almost withheld, in a lovely and restrained way; like a secret...or like an effort not to overflow.

I tip my hat off to you, Sir! I am impressed by your multitalent skills!

chanting and humming ( Naviarhaiku 376)

After releasing the very much guitar drone based album "Haptics" album back in May, I decided that I should next do a release with melodies and a more positive sound at the forefront. The first track in almost 2 years that I've put together without the use of at least one guitar is "Scintilla". It's s produced purely on various different software apps and also with the use of a Micro Korg and a Yamaha Tenori-on.

"Scintila" is one of the tracks that will be featuring on the new EP "Iridescent". Clocking in at 11 and a half minutes, It's one of the longest tracks I've written, but also one of my most unique ones to date In my opinion. I always like to try a different approach to song structure and used the melodies in this kinda as building blocks if that makes sense. Stacking them on top of each other until at one point during the song they were all layered in alongside each other before fading back out again.

You can download the full "Iridescent" EP at bandcamp for £1.99

In May 2015 I released the underwater concept album "Moana". It's my interpretation of a journey from the waves through the depths of the ocean and back to the surface. The album covered many different styles and moods. Mainly ambient, drone and techno.  I uploaded the tracks "Deep Blue Solace" and "Sonic Depth Finder" to soundcloud last year.

A year later and I've made a new bonus track for the album. "52 Hertz" is more along the lines of sound design rather than an actual structured track but in it's 11 minutes it manages to uphold all the elements from the Moana album into one soundscape. Headphones recommended.

are you here?

Here's a demo of "Private, I" from the upcoming album "Honne and Tatemae". This is only a demo of the song. I hope to re-record it again soon. I just wanted to get some new music up on the page.

I understand that the words are probably quite indecipherable to people and i also have a bad habit of mumbling. So here are the lyrics:

PRIVATE, I

I asked if you were crying
And you said "It's just the rain."
But it's easy to tell the difference between water and your pain.
Plasters laced in salt are littered across the hall
And the barely open door through which you always fall.

You've left the heating on
To warm up your feet
I see you're playing your favourite song
It's always on repeat.
That one you love about running away.
But you care too much not to stay.

And you only look your best for love and death.
And you stay in rags for the rest.
Yeah, you always look your best for love and death.
But you stay in rags for the rest.

Private, I

"I'd like to turn the whole world on just for a moment. Just for a moment."

"....keep that superlative high. Just on the cusp of each day so that I'd radiate sunshine."

Just For A Moment

The Electronic Birds Will Sing

Abstract Counterpoint Improvisation (disquiet0474)
Getting together through music,  in times of isolation...
I recorded here (France)upright bass over the duet by Chris Ledwidge (Ireland): piano and Michael Ash Sharbaugh (USA) synthesizers. 

I improvised over the original track twice, first take was a disaster, second was slightly better but still I couldn’t figure out what the piano was doing so my notes are bad and my timing is also bad.
 I mean, I'm following the sort of pulse but I'm not playing in the right spots, I'm afraid...


So, to save the thing from the trash lid I decided to label my ramblingness as an “abstract impro”, a tag that can excuse or justify many “out of focus” things. I added another thing that I use to bury sloppy things and pretend they are avant-garde brilliant statements: Valhalla Supermassive.
And I did a very creative use of the Delete button
