CLOUD ACTION is now available on Spotify, iTunes and most digital platforms!!

"Music for staring off into the distance" - this instrumental record features 45 minutes of ethereal folky psychedelic grooves.

It's been 2 years since I accidentally started writing the first tune when trying out guitars in New York, not realising that it would morph into 12 tracks of music where I composed, recorded, produced and mixed everything myself.
Instruments you'll hear me playing: saxophones, guitars, bass, piano, hammond organ, synth, recorders, EWI, drums/percussion, ukulele and even a bit of vocals. I created all the drum sounds from scratch, incorporating sound design and recordings of crunching carrots, popping jar seals, shattering ice and more that I had too much fun making!

My environmental sound recordings make up a big part of the record and include penguins' mating calls, spruikers in Times Square, draining plugholes and lots of water sounds from adventures in the mountains of the USA, Canada, New Zealand and throughout Australia.

Big thanks to Choi Productions for the mastering and Rhys Newling for the photography.

I couldn't be prouder to share it with you and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Close your eyes, open your ears, and drift away...

Laid Back Sax Tune. Produced by Noah Simms/Glassic Productions, and live saxophone performance by Hugo Lee 

Along The Lines (Feat. Hugo Lee)

My tri 6 composition which is a homage to the late Jean Giraud AKA Moebius. I created a visual narrative based on his illustrations that when pieced together tells the tale of a lone wanderer in space. He lands on a distance planet in search of information at a sandy bazaar where all manners of life are to be found. The track ends with the wanderer almost reaching his destination before being startled by a giant creature which gives chase. 

Pretty nerdy, but what're you gonna do? ;)

MOEBIUS

Poppy Reid chats to Jen Cloher, the Melbourne musician, songwriter, record label co-operator, and founder of workshop series I Manage My Music.

Jen popped into the APRA AMCOS offices in Sydney to talk about the importance of building a community around your business and how to do it, why it wasn’t always smooth sailing, and her advice for artists who are self-managed or who are looking to become self-managed.
