This is a really nice cocktail of textures, tones and melodies. Definitely a new favourite.

For me, this kinda acts as a more electronic based sequel to your track "Nico" :) It's choc full of lush melodies and layers.

I love that you're never afraid to try new out sounds and palettes. Your sound is constantly on the move. You clearly have a big thirst for music in general. Keep doing what you do.

We defiantly have to do another collab man!! The Revolution has about 2.5k plays!!

Quite the epic journey! A long but definitely worthwhile listen.

I've lost count of the amount of beautiful little notes in this song! So many lovely noises.

Crossing over into the '5 year back' realm now. You've been crafting peaceful, inviting soundscapes for quite a while now, John. Very dreamy intro. :)

This is a perfect soundscape for my workday. Brings calm to all the noise. Lovely work, John.

time to close the series :-) and move somewhere else. I wish everyone a pleasant listening. M

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.

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
