Let It Fall

A snippet of"Uneasy Lies The Head That Wears A Crown". I used this Shakespeare quote for the title as it works perfectly in my mind with the tone and direction of this piece.

The complete composition is still some distance away, but I'm enjoying this so far.

"Royalty" will be a full orchestral project releasing mid-late 2021.

Uneasy Lies The Head That Wears A Crown PREVIEW

This is an extended version of the music from Ben Briand's short film Apricot. Musicians: Vocals & Viola/Biddy Connor, Cello/Emily Duffil, Piano and all other instruments/Basil Hogios. Recorded at MTC, edited and mixed at FirstCut Studio by Basil Hogios.

His 2013 release Stories From Elsewhere has received much praise; renowned US reviewer John Diliberto (Echoes) calling it “a modern ambient chamber music masterpiece of quietly epic dimensions". His 2018 album, A Quiet Divide, is his most orchestral album to date, merging chamber strings & piano, with emotionally charged cinematic post-rock atmospheres. Releasing the album alongside a 6 date audiovisual live tour around New Zealand, the album reached no.2 on the NZ Top 20.
"A Quiet Divide is an album that swallows you whole, and sends you out the other side a lighter, calmer version of yourself." - Sunday Star Times
