about

These are ambient/instrumental pieces written since 2017. They were born out of a period of lyric-writer's block, intensive listening to music without beats or words to block out distractions at work, and a desire to work outside of song structures and experiment with my recording software. I hope that the pieces work as a mood soundtrack, but that they also reward closer listening.

"[The music] could be characterised as drifting or simply existing in stasis rather than developing in any dramatic fashion. Structure emerges slowly, minimally or apparently not at all, encouraging states of reverie or receptivity in the listener that suggest (on the good side of boredom) a very positive rootlessness."
David Toop "Ocean of Sound" (1995)
