Love this original track and the remix, so creative. This one has a great laid back feel to it.

the fun of it reminds me of low gravity bouncing astronauts

Now i wanna do a nasa track ;) great work!

I quite like this. Quite the contrast with the remix.

Inspired by early micro-computers, this track is probably my most tech-influenced to date but don't let that put you off. Programming the drums on this one was enormous fun.

PLEASE NOTE: My SoundCloud account was compromised on 11th Feb 2019 and 264 false plays of this track, Micro, were credited to my stats. If you wish to know how many plays this track has truly received at any given time, please deduct 264 from the total figure shown.

This is my contribution to @minimal_drone_grl's stunning remix album, Origins Remixed, released in September 2020. The full elpee, containing 15 remixes by 15 different artists of the tracks on her earlier long-player, Ancestral Origins - itself a completely mesmerising listen - can be found here:

I'm dedicating this number to the memory of my great friend of many years standing, Steve Finch, who tragically died during the period while I was working on this. Steve was a unique and special soul who will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, great mate. #hcafc #yccc

Retrospection Reimagined

Minimal_Drone*GRL - Retrospection (Observatory's Retrospection Reimagined Remix)

"At the farthest extremities of the electromagnetic spectrum, way beyond the realm of visible light, further even than the mysterious infra-red frequencies, lurk countless, unheard communications from distant worlds....."

"Autumn Equinox" is the result of my overhauling "Radio And Microwave", a tune that I originally put out over a year ago. I've been working on this new version sporadically throughout autumn 2020 - hence the title - even though it's now technically in winter that I've finally got around to finishing it. It's inspired by, well, autumn, which is by some distance my favourite season of the year.

The artwork is an original piece by the enigmatic collage artist, Harl Vind, entitled "Consumed By The Waves".

Autumn Equinox

Inspired by late-night conversations and assembled over many months from disparate musical fragments, Love! Love! Peace! Beauty! is an ode to freedom, tolerance and bliss.

I owe massive credit to Mike B for providing the wonderful electric guitar stylings on this piece and to Jason Ross for sourcing the spoken word sample and the photo image. Brilliant work, gents - I owe you both, big time.

Love! Love! Peace! Beauty!

The evocatively named Cold Wold is an area of arable high ground, located roughly between the villages of Millington and Warter in the East Riding of Yorkshire. This relatively unspoilt chalkland region is great for walking, running or whatever else takes your fancy at pretty much any time of the year. I'm constantly inspired by the quiet, gentle landscapes of the Yorkshire Wolds and I only hope I've been able to do them some sort of justice with this relaxed piece of electronica.

The photograph is by Peter Church.

Cold Wold

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.
