a study of gentle and lilting arpeggiation, through repetition and subtle variation. Working with this material, I was drawn to treating it with delicate care and an intuitive sense of humanity. The kindness and patience of others toward their art became a stimulus for my approach in this music.

Performed by Mira Benjamin and Philip Thomas at Music We'd Like to Hear in London on Friday 5th July 2019. 

Mixed by Adam Webster.

"Private journal of dreams"

In search of an alternative earth, site one is too cold. Site two is radioactive and home to strange beings with advanced starcraft that have the ability to shut down the ship engines. Finally a new home capable of supporting human life is found... in the goldilocks zone.

Goldilocks Zone - A Space Adventure (disquiet0461)

This is made from snippets of a one minute sample of ice in a glass. Though some effects are applied all sounds are included as sampled (with minor EQ in mix) and represent the original material fairly faithfully. The result is purely rhythmic and textural rather than containing any melody or harmony.
