The Polymath's Songbook represents the summation of my life for the past three years. It was written and submitted as my final project for university, but is much more than simply a means to a grade. All tracks on the album were written, played, recorded and mixed entirely by myself, inspiring the title of the record - polymath is a term used to describe somebody who is proficient in a number of specialist fields. This idea of generalism over specialism is the driving force behind The Polymath's Songbook, and through the process of its creation has helped me to define and understand my practice both as a musician and in other fields of life.  Whilst this forms a good basis for critical enquiry for the project, ultimately the music is the most important thing however, so I intend to break the idea of doing it all myself and call in some favours from some incredibly talented friends to help re-record some parts as well as help me mix and master the tracks in order to get a more polished and professional sounding record. So think of these as a-bit-better-than-demos, give them a good listening to and please let me know what you think!  Featuring:
