This album is the result of a challenge to myself. My last album was inspired by the intricate, propulsive, sequencer led electronics of Tangerine Dream or Steve Hauschildt - very fun to make, setting sequences and letting them stretch on. For this album I intended to use less tidy or 'predictable' elements. While there are automated sequences of course, I incorporated field recordings and home made loops of varying lengths with no set tempo. 

The result is an album that aims to feel more natural, or human. Each song containing parts from nature - recordings of my garden, or streams I walked past - or improvised melodies lpayed live that required my presence and focus.

The sounds are made from analog and digital synthesizers, guitar, drum machine and kalimba as well as various effects.
Field recordings were taken in my garden in Greater Manchester as well as on walks in the Lake District and by the sea in St Ives.

I create seamless fusions of just about everything. All visceral, atmospheric and psychedelic with hidden depths upon closer inspection. The flow is also important. It exists on a continuum with micro-variations and subtle evolutions along the way.
The music can range from low down heavy darkness to softer and more positive, higher-vibrational new age. Yet even at it’s most crushing and industrial never succumbing to nihilism and instead feeling warm and inviting.
Very often humorous (in the form of deliberate cinematic pastiches), freaky and surreal. Inspired by dystopian sci-fi. Retro-futuristic.
I often wear my influences on my sleeve like Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream but at my core I’m still self-referential with my sound. It operates at my own personal frequency.
