Taking its title from a fascinating book of the same name by writer, publisher and ultra-runner, Robin Harvie, this tune attempts to give musical expression to the reasons why I regularly lace up my running shoes and leave the house to pound the country lanes and footpaths near to where I live when there are arguably a thousand-and-one more "important" things I could be doing with my precious time.

Robin's book is both an intriguing study of his own personal journey to the start line of one of the toughest ultra races on earth: the Spartathlon, and a pleasingly detailed history of the act of distance running itself. This, my first electronic music release for several months, is much more modest in scale - very much like my running ambitions (at least when compared to Robin's) - but it could be said that it attempts to capture and articulate the same, natural urge.

Why We Run was made entirely in Ableton Live v11 using Spitfire Audio's LABS plug-in for some of the component sounds. It was composed and recorded during spring/summer 2022.

Why We Run

White Barrens is an instrumental song about the bleak, mysterious, and violent environment of the arctic deserts.

I Just Want Passes

A track to enjoy whilst we contemplate the end of the world... A downtempo fusion of Lofi, Chill, Triphop & Dream-pop. Perfect dreamy background music, relaxed, chilled and cool, bluesy & laid back, calming.

Shanghai Morning

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.
