It's been a crazy year so far and so I took a day off. From everything. I spent the day reflecting on the present. I spent the day away from noisy thought. In the evening I sat down at my piano, took a breath, and played the simplest tune that I could muster. It is minimal and slow. It's in a major chord but still feels sullen. I wanted to share it with you in hopes that it will bring you peace.

Press/media :

“Is British Culture Getting Weirder?” Here is a label that would certainly encourage the idea of increasing weirdness – this is Bearsuit Records in Edinburgh who, for the past nearly 10 years now, have had an unswerving commitment to releasing, as they say, the weird and the wonderful and indeed the wonderfully weird...
[Verity Sharp – Late Junction, BBC Radio 3]

If you're not familiar with the label, get familiar with it! Bearsuit Records – a brilliant, independent label based in Edinburgh. I highly recommend them!
[Mathew Baty – Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Amazing Radio, Richard Dawson]

The fearlessly inventive and always exciting Bearsuit label returns with a collection of experimental electronic works [V/A : "Run Over By An Elevator"] spotlighting the best and brightest of the (predominantly) Scottish and Japanese electronics scene
[Terrascope]

A great label based in Edinburgh 
[“On The Wire” - BBC Radio Lancashire]

The label that is the beginning and end in eclectic electronica, Bearsuit Records. Bearsuit Records will never. ever let you down...
[Phil Vickery - “In-Tune”, BCfm]

Scotland’s most out-there patrons of abstract outsider pop
[Mark Barton - The Sunday Experience]

As always, another intriguing and exciting release from the eclectic, envelope-shredding folks at Bearsuit... 
[It's Psychedelic Baby! Magazine] 

Bearsuit Records, a label that scurries away from cliché and stereotypes like silverfish from sunshine. [Bunny & The Electric Horsemen - "Fall Apart In My Backyard"] Like the other albums I have heard on this label (Harold Nono/AWSTS) this is f****** brilliant. Baffling, surreal and totally idiosyncratic...
[Sitting Now]

The skewed brilliance of Bearsuit Records [have] recently brought us the likes of Bunny and the Electric Horsemen, Jimmy Rosso and Haq, among a whole load of other creative and brilliant artists 
[Amazing Radio]

Purveyors of the weird, the wired, the wayward and quite frankly wonky, this collective prides itself on scouring the global airwaves for strange sonic communications and offering safe haven to those aural alchemists operating on the distant outer post markers of pops cosmos 
[God is in the TV]

The quality is altogether excellent, reflecting the great skills of the people involved... It is great to notice there are fresh labels who can compete in quality with well-known labels such as Ninja Tune or Warp Records 
[Adornments Of The King Magazine] 

The amazingly brilliant Bearsuit Records - everything they release is either totally fantastic or ass-shakingly wonderful - depending on your choice of improvised adjective...
[Behind Closed Doors]

Here are some original solo piano pieces...  some mixes from my podcast... some exclusive track premieres...  and some tracks from the albums I review on Headphone Commute... Enjoy!

music is what's all about.water in the desert
endless love reason to live
