Empty Spaces

"Axon" is a collaborative project that began life as a series of recorded guitar improvisations. These initial recordings provide the main source materials used in the fixed media element of the piece. Throughout the creative process the guitar and tape have been involved in a continual loop of mutual influence. Due to this working method we discovered that the line between the the composer and the performer became continually blurred and resulted in what we believe to be a truly collaborative piece that follows a combined creative vision. "Axon" was written by Michael Andrews and Ricky Graham.

The first track of my album of trombone space music, "Eyes Drawn Upward at Dusk."

All music was improvised in real-time with only trombone and voice as sound sources.

I suppose "Dark Ambient" is about right for this piece of gloomy hopelessness. This track was either something I had been trying to write, or something that had been trying to escape for 3 years. Either way, it had to happen, eventually.  

This track is available on the latest (volume 6) of the always excellent compilations from Ambient Online. This volume features 114 tracks and a running order of over 18 hours. At only $9.99 this represents astounding value for money. 

The mastering on here probably differs slightly from the version on the compilation

The Nothing was originally released on 12" vinyl as part of the Buried in Time 'Habituation EP'. There were only 200 copies pressed and my track will most likely not be available digitally for some time, if at all.

In order to help ensure survival in these modern times, digital downloads of the tunes are bundled with the release, giving you HQ files of the other 3 tunes. You'll have to record mine from the vinyl. . .apologies.

Track listing:

A side: 
a1 - 'Glib Meetings' - Vector Idol 
a2 - 'The Nothing' - EVAC (vinyl only)

B side:

Some of these things I recorded to help me sleep, or to play in the background when I work or read. Sometimes I just post music that I recently recorded.
