Definitely something to ponder...  Such a lovely, melodic piece Jeff!  A joy to listen to!  Wonderful to hear new music from you.  Yay!  :)

perhaps not less kind, but more stupid 🤷‍♂️ great track 👍

I like the hints of dub coming through, the bassline & beat in particular.

Really love this.. Gorgeous sounding leads and arpeggio

I enjoyed this voyage ,captivating throughout

it sounds so simple (i know its not though) yet so effective as a track!!! the  sound choices work like a jigsaw... all fit in perfectly around each other;y!

When I walk at dawn in spring through one of my usual birding areas, there is a moment when I am sorrounded by rainbow of colors and fluted trills. It is the neighborhood of the bee-eaters.
Real bee-eaters sound recorded by Patrik Aberg in Poland and Spain.

"Are we less kind than we were?" asks the man. No need to answer that right away but you'll be pleased to know I've slowed-down the tempo quite considerably on this, my first release of 2023, thereby giving you ample time and breathing space to ruminate on that particular conundrum. In doing so, I hope you discover something, not only about yourself but also about the collective mass of bipeds that make up the human race.

Massive thanks to Jason Ross for the very kind use of his photograph, "Das Eisen".

Biped was produced entirely in Ableton Live 11 during the winter of 2022/23.

When travelling through hyperspace, they say time slows down. 

Space Skrew

the 2018 was a very difficult year for me ...
understanding after so many years of having come to the end of a relationship was not easy to accept. I tried with all my strength to save something that escaped me like sand in my hands.
at the same time I poured all my interior experience into the creative act, as a source of salvation, into a cathartic act.
suspension between abyss and ecstasy ...
I was feverishly working on the realization of my first album.
project which, moreover, was interrupted due to the breakdown of my mac .. I lost several important information, such as sounds created with the help of different vst plugins .. and I still try to recover data etc .. to continue the project.
even today it is not easy for me to listen to this piece again.
it takes me back in time, and inevitably a few tears still line my face.
however, it is one of the few pieces accompanied by a text written at the time. I find it extraordinary how pain is able to take new shape through art.
here is the text to follow:

Packaged lives.

Packaged lives.


And in all our going
Without an arrival

Enjoy the trip, at least

While pretending to be tired

Packaged lives

With the heart immersed
Inside a well

Packaged lives

Looking for my place
In the world.


A place in time, with you

Packaged lives

And in all our going
Without an arrival

Packaged lives

Enjoy the trip, at least

Packaged Lives

I make lo-fi, melodic, instrumental electronica, conceived, composed and recorded using only a laptop and a digital audio workstation (currently Ableton Live 11).

Due to domestic constraints, I work entirely on headphones so it probably follows that my recordings are best appreciated via the same medium.

When you've finished here, why not take a look at my videos on YouTube or head over to Twitter to see if I've uttered anything profound recently? (I probably haven't but you never know...)

Many thanks for visiting. Please come back again soon.
