The Scent Lingers - new release EP

Some of the saddest music written - for cinema, as an underscore to our sad world or just when the mood strikes - is combined with music that stirs resolution, forbearance and peaceful acceptance.

This music was written as I moved back to my beloved Sydney and amongst the upheaval, new learnings and excitement of the potentials, I remained determined to keep this practice in place.

Astro Teller (Captain of Moonshots) has a great story about the importance of just doing the work to unlock the solution. Every day, cast the clay and as Bukowski said, do it because you have to. Love what you do and do it for no other reason.

Crossing the portal

The achingly beautiful Baltic Voice of the Tallinn chamber choir recorded in the 13 Century Niguliste Kirk provides the sonic canvas for this piece. In part Gothic in part modern and slightly grainy - oscillating between Cm and Bb it glides without resolving like the soft clouds drifting across the face of an icy moon.

Clouds across the moon

There is a bitterness about the world when a hope is unfulfilled. But you deserved it! You were owed it! You are entitled! But hope was never a strategy. Did you really earn it? Are you going to let it eat you up or are you going to get back up and get on with the blessings you have.

Hope unfulfilled

The harvest is in, life slows and now is the time for rest and reflection. Cycles are present in all of life and to flourish we need to follow, to emerge recharded and bursting with life.

Autum leaves

Beautiful, delicate and capable of sustaining flight is grounded and spattered as the weather turns. "Like tears in the rain" - all that has gone before to be lost and forgotten. For this is the nature of life. A very minimalist piece that builds through repetition, like a heart beat and the ephemeral hopes of the dreamer.

A feather in the rain

In C minor, this piece leverages some of the lighter textures of Frank Elting and The Solo's granular synthesis design. With the organic textures of the human voice, blown instruments and piano the evocation is a return to a place once full of life and (mostly) happy memories. But this place, and everything else, has moved on and, while the sunlight still filters through, it is filled with silence, dust and fading memories.

The empty house

A string orchestra and an intimate piano paint a bittersweet picture of longing, love and hope. Compassion and passion, a fit, like a hand in a glove. There is nothing like absence to realise what you have. Never, ever take it for granted.

Another day without you

Enough of the plinky quartets - need to touch base! Symphonic metal, grandiose strutting rock.

What a day

On the threshold of the 2020 US elections this seemed an appropriate comment on the state of the Union. The shadow of the later King Crimson and the Iberian weirdness of the Phrygian mode come together with some jarring new sounds from Damage II
