Nothing Compares

The infinite is a constant theme throughout my work; it is always present in the cracks in the walls, our reflection in the water and the spaces in our body.
Growing up with a single mother that suffered with mental illness was very challenging. I could always see behind her pain was something immensely beautiful and expansive.
It can be hard to connect with the transcendent when we are so invested in the day-to-day, and the stories we tell about ourselves.
I have always been aware of the deeper, transcendent experience that is beneath the sometimes benign and mundane experience of life.
It has been challenging to start creating films for my music but is so right for me. I have realised who I am is reflected in everything I do and walking around Bristol looking for moments to capture with my camera makes me more receptive to how incredibly beautiful life is.
I really hope you take something from this. I am working on building my channel so please subscribe to help me gain momentum if you haven't already.
Sending gentleness, love and appreciation to all of you.

Solace (Movement 2)

Improvisation is where my heart and soul thrive insofar as musical expression is concerned. 

For instance, this little beauty came bursting through from start to finish one glorious morning out of the blue.  I felt ecstatic, almost as if i wasn't even there.

May it lift you up, ease your way forward or simply sustain your joy. 😉               It certainly did as much for me.

The more love and beauty we create on earth the better, imho. Share it, people.

Cheers, and Best Wishes always! 🤗

Cosmic Background Radiation

Is anyone still out there?
Well hello there if you are taking some of your valuable time to read this! As the lyrics to this (probably)final song say, its been a long while……
The last time I checked into Soundcloud was maybe last December, wow…. 
I packed up for a holiday in Hawaii, ran the Honolulu Marathon, watched a volcano erupt, cast my dog’s ashes into a lava field and drank a tropical island's worth of cocktails while watching the sunset with my wife. And then returned a few weeks later decidedly unenthused about the Cat and my collaborator.
Gina had been making noises about returning to an on again / off again musical partner. That wasn’t unexpected and was actually a bit of a relief as I hadn’t been enjoying this for a while. Our last few songs had been tortuous to finish, including this one which was finally finished I think way back in October 2022.
Cat Came Back was always a lot like an arranged marriage - nothing at all in common but we kind of made it work 3 minutes at a time. But by late last year, it had become very hard work. And as you fellow Soundclouders know, outside of personal satisfaction, the rewards for all of that hard work are not very large. So, if the personal satisfaction is gone, there’s not a lot left to motivate oneself. 
In addition to that, there were a few rather large elephants in the room regarding my collaborator that I won't go into but nevertheless constantly weighed very heavily on my mind throughout our time together and I was finding these increasingly difficult to continue to ignore for the sake of making music together.
So anyway, when I returned a perhaps brief hiatus accidentally turned into this - silence for what, 7-8 months? Haven’t picked up an instrument in all that time and they currently sit in my garage gathering dust. Took up Chess, what a rabbit hole that is! Continued running. Listening as always to a lot of old jazz. Continued seemingly never ending renovations to my house. Spent a lot of time with my lifelong friend, William Styron’s Black Dog, as a matter of fact he's here sitting right by my side now. 
So what now? I sat down a few days back and listened to a few things that were unfinished as of late last year. Maybe its time to start again. Find a new collaborator or two? Anyone know anyone who might be a match?
In the meantime I’ll dip my toe in and check out what some of my favourite Soundclouders have been up to while I was away. I'm sure I've missed out on some really great stuff.
