Heavily effected shakuhachi and keyboards provide moody atmospheres over which fragments of Japanese language are sliced and processed.  Grainy textures blend with 
filtered beats, occasional sparse, reversed fretless bass, found sounds and traces of bowed-in guitar.


Inside The Rain Chamber - 12 x 45 sec tasters

Fourth world downtempo, fragments of Japanese language over textural processed shakuhachi, scratches, atmospheric washes and occasional reversed fretless bass.


Capsule

Japanese vocal fragments and vocaloid carry sparse melodies over cloudy atmospheres, downtempo beats and reversed fretless bass.

Tokyo Tipping Point

“Altered Carbon”, was released in November 2008 on Alex Tronic Records (ATR) and is a collection of downtempo tracks, close to a purely electronic mood. “Weightless Hours”, released in June 2012, moved towards electro-acoustic territory and introduced the processed shakuhachi that has since become a key characteristic of my sound. On “Inside The Rain Chamber”, which will released 5 December 2014, I have worked to make my sound ever more textural.

Glyph, Artefact and Between Her Dreams are from Altered Carbon.  Curtain of Rust, Sub Rosa and Sheltering Skies are from "Weightless Hours". I use shakuhachi, guitar and fretless bass to make many of the textures on the latter and most of "Inside The Rain Chamber". 

The "Cloud Altlas" set features tracks that have not made it onto albums and are free downloads. 

My one minute pieces for the Vox Novus 60x60 project feature in the 2009, 2010 and 2011 International mixes as well as a 2010 UnTwelve (microtonal) 60x60.

Over the last couple of years, I have also been making remixes for Alex Tronic Records and Nice'n'nasty.

My mix work also appears on 'Fated Stars", featuring vocals by Asa Seljestad, on the album 'To Infinity' by Alex Tronic.
