Dance In The Rain

This is a 10 minute snippet from an hour long performance recorded on the 4th Feb. I closed out the set with this piece.
This is all improvised apart from the beat and sequencer pattern, which were prepared shortly before I performed, though all the arrangement and transposing is happening on the fly.
I used all my gear during the whole performance, however the particular instruments featured in this piece are as follows:

Black Corporation Deckards Dream
Korg Wavestate
Roland SH01A
Elektron Digitakt
Behringer VC340
Behringer Model D
Roland System 1
Yamaha DX100
Strymon Big Sky
Strymon El Capistan
Mooer Echolizer
Electro Harmonix Grand Canyon
Electro Harmonix Small Stone
Boss RV2
Zoom MS-70 CDR

This is a short clip from my recent impromptu live set on Morphic Resonance 10, fully improvised piece using a Korg Wavestate feeding a Soma Cosmos, Behringer Odyssey and a Korg Microkorg. It was one of my ambient transitions, so not something I would usually post, but I liked it in its own right. Has a drama to it that gives it its own identity beyond being a transition.

Odyssey, Mellotron Flute & Cosmos (Live improv excerpt from Morphic Resonance 10)

This is an exclusive mix of 'Anthracite Days' from the recent 'Reanimation' EP which is included on the recent 'Concrete and Chrome' compilation that was released on March 4th 2022 on the State of Bass label. Additional guitars on this track were played by Steve Harris from the Gary Numan band. Mastered by Sean Albiez at Song of the Atom.

"Generation Blitz is quite a puzzle-box of a compilation. It successfully manages to invoke the spirit of a classic era, but also marries it with a solid selection of contemporary electro-pop tunes. But the sheer kaleidoscopic nature of the album’s styles and approaches means that there’s unlikely to be a listener who will walk away disappointed." Electricity Club

Ambient Cinematic Set by ThomasArmada23 - 25th annual After Hours Reunion Show (2022)

‘Floating World’ is an album by US based artist Todd Gautreau, who records as Tapes and Topographies. It was created in response to a collaboration project called Thirty-Six Views of Newland Island with British artist Jonathan S Hooper. The album follows last year’s ‘Amplitudes’ and is another entry to Todd’s discography, alongside music on labels such as Past Inside The Present, Dronarivm, Shimmering Moods and his own Simulacra Records.

Jonathan S Hooper is a mixed-media artist based in London, who works with paintings, photography, sculpture and film. Thirty-Six Views of Newland Island is an evolving multi-factorial project in which Hooper continues his exploration of ontological concepts of time and space through the landscapes of his native Cornwall. Specifically, the project focuses on a small uninhabited outcrop called Newland Island, which lies just off the Cornish coast in the Atlantic Ocean’s most westerly margins. The project’s title is inspired by Katushika Hokusai’s series of woodblock prints of Mount Fuji, drawing in Hooper’s broader interest in Japan’s artistic heritage. It also adds to the cultural connection between Cornwall and Japan first established in St Ives, in the 1920’s, through the collaboration of master potters Bernard Leach and Hamada Shoji. A collaboration that continued through much of the twentieth century.

A particularly fascinating consideration is that Mount Fuji is an instantly recognisable geographic icon, yet in contrast, Newland Island is unknown to most. This frees the project from the limits of preconception, opening up opportunities to explore further ideas of landscape, and our place within it. Through collaboration with Gautreau (who is based some 5000 miles away), Hooper sought to give creative licence to a composer, in order to encourage another viewpoint. He had first discovered Todd’s music through Elizabeth Alker’s BBC Radio 3 Unclassified programme, and subsequently reached out to invite him to work on a soundtrack, which has now become ‘Floating World’. He sent photographs of his paintings, scans of the polaroids and his studio notes; the work developed organically into a collection of nine soundscapes, in which Hooper sees as independent views of Newland Island in their own right.

Hooper will be working to share this project through galleries and installations and we felt it was apt to assign full creative control over the CD packaging design to these two artists. Todd, also a graphic designer, has pulled together some of the polaroids for the outer and inner sleeves. There is a 16 page booklet included, which contains paintings, further polaroids and text from both artists. This is also included with the digital version of this album.

Discovery

Dawn

This ambient album immerses the listener in a calm, expansive soundscape shaped by deep drones and soft, emotionally resonant pads. Slowly evolving layers drift through a quiet atmosphere where time feels suspended, allowing space for reflection, stillness and inner presence. The absence of rhythm and percussion gives each composition room to breathe, unfolding with a fragile sense of intimacy and depth.

Between gentle shadows and faint light, the sound shifts from darker, enveloping tones to brighter, almost weightless passages. Beneath the surface, a subdued sense of contemplation emerges — echoing moments where thoughts linger a little longer than intended, yet remain quiet, softened by warmth and subtle harmony.

A tranquil journey through atmosphere and emotion, designed for late-night listening, creative focus or moments of peaceful solitude.
