Freeform piano improvisation and synth riffs over a brew of beats and spoken word samples.

The Field Of The Vibrations (Don't Move)

My take on the classic standard. Wobbly vocals, smokin' solos.

Late summer poolside chillvibe jazz featuring sublime vocals from Lucy Lune.

The Bluest Blue (feat. Lucy Lune)

These songs are live recordings of my piano playing and improvisation, over audio collage of various samples, loops and found sounds. I play a Yamaha P-95 stage piano, and everything else is being co-ordinated through Ableton Live and an APC20 controller. These pieces are intended as a kind of musical diary as I explore the possibilities of this approach, rather than as a set of perfectly polished finished works. If I had to describe the effect I am looking for here, I guess it might lie somewhere within a rough triangle between The Avalanches, Rip Rig + Panic and the Beastie Boys album "The In Sound from Way Out". Your comments are very welcome. Thanks for listening and hope you enjoy these adventures in sound.
