I recently discovered a pocket of quiet while hiking in my local patch in Surrey. It's a wooded valley nestled between two hills with a small brook at the bottom. Listen to a longer version at https://youtu.be/4wn0NcvqKUY

British Woodland On Spring Morning

This time no piano but something else :) 
This track was inspired by the living waters of the ocean on the rocks. I played around with some great plugins and this came up.

Mirrors of the Waters

This is a demo of new music I'm working on, combining ambient cello with soft crashing waves.

Penguin Cafe are back with a lovingly produced 10th anniversary reissue of their debut album, titled A Matter of Life… 2021. Besides being completely remastered and pressed on vinyl for the very first time, the record also features a brand new 2021 recording of lead single Harry Piers, a song commemorating Arthur Jeffes’ late father and PCO founder Simon Jeffes.

“I originally wrote Harry Piers to play at my dad‘s memorial service 24 years ago, and I played it at the end of pretty much every gig (and soundcheck) we’ve done since, so I’ve probably played it hundreds if not thousands of times since we originally released A Matter of Life. So when we decided to reissue the album, Robert and I both felt it would be fun to record an up-to-date version of this song, because it has changed over time and it continues to evolve. So while this is still very much the same tune, I think it has a lot more nuance and detail that reflect the years that have passed since 2011,” Arthur explains.

“When I asked Art to dig out the original recordings in order to give them the sonic treatment they deserved, it just so happened that the session file for the most important piece was missing — his ode to his father. A brief moment of panic was shortly followed by the realisation that this might be a sign, a chance to record the glorious new form this song has naturally developed into over the years. I had this strong memory of seeing Arthur genuinely reach out to Simon through the piano, which had to be captured for others to witness,” adds co-producer Robert Raths.

The remastered 10th anniversary edition of A Matter of Life… will be available digitally, on 12” vinyl and on CD from April 29.

Prayer

Remix I did as Helios of my other project Mint Julep.
LYRICS
Rushing through the door into the street
I’m waiting for you to meet me here
We’re going down to Second Avenue
The days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by
Looking at you there underneath the light
In spite of myself, I start to smile
Something tells me that it’ll be alright
The days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by
We are together in the autumn air
And everyone is dancing now
We’re going to wait it out
The days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by

Formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2007, MINT JULEP is the husband-and-wife team of Keith and Hollie Kenniff. Subsequently relocating to Portland, Oregon, the duo cut a limited release album, Songs About Snow, in 2008 and the EP, Adorn, in 2010 – effectively a trial run for further recording in their home studio, the fruit of which is a sublime follow-up, Save Your Season, released by Village Green in 2011. The couple is currently writing and recording their next album, Broken Devotion, which is slated for release in mid 2013.

Hallmarked by Hollie’s seductive, dreamy vocals and a succession of memorably soaring choruses, all of it etched with Keith’s vivid, glinting keyboards, towering guitars and miscellaneous instrumental hooks, Mint Julep make lustrous modern pop music that is wistful and mellifluous yet simultaneously powerful, even epic – equal parts shoegazing romanticism and cool, Kraftwerkian polish. Their songs seem instantly familiar, like old musical friends, a ’classicism’ offset by the freshness and luminosity they exude as they usher you on a breathless ride through the sunlit uplands of electronic indie-rock.

Mint Julep was designed as a conscious departure from Keith’s previous, ambient-orientated projects. “When Hollie and I set out to do something, I wanted to find some way to incorporate her vocals into a slightly different style, rather than just write similar material to my solo work and lay her vocals over top”, he says. “I had the need to write something that had some distorted guitars, loud drums and was a little bolder than what I had previously done. We messed around with a track one night (which became ‘Stay’) and it was a fun process, so we just kept writing more songs so we could do a project together.”

Soon a working pattern emerged, with Keith composing music around Hollie’s lyrics or making tracks which Hollie would then add to. “It just developed after a lot of trial and error, and after a while the material started to plateau and began to sound like an album…”
