‘Moonglow‘ is the ‘sister release’ to my previous album ‘Ocean Sighs’.
The image used for the album cover was taken with my old Sony R1, which was one of the best cameras I had.

I’m (finally) working pretty solidly on my new album project. It will be based around female voice material and binaural field recordings that I’ve made. This has been ‘on the pot’ for a long time, I hope to have it completed by September.
After that, there are other projects I have in mind. So, after quite a gap in my release schedule, I hope to have more to offer in the (nearish) future !
Shimmering jewels in the deep mid-winter sky.
With ‘Harmony through Conflict’, I set out to create an album that allowed me to experiment beyond my usual ways of working. I used some of the more ‘traditional’ instrumentation and sound sources that are commonly associated with ambient music in musically diverse and subtley different ways. Oblique, rhythmic elements were added as part of this experimental approach and less emphasis was placed on sound-design and more on the compositional ebb and flow of the individual tracks.
The album could be described as being primarily ‘dark’, but I would prefer to use the term ‘heavy’, this ‘heaviness’ was offset with tonal elements adding contrast and balance.
Headphone listening recommended.

Winter on it’s way…
Forecasts of a very cold one to come here in the UK. Here’s a selection of images taken on my morning walk around the valley.
Expect some musical news in the next few weeks – am feverishly working away on an imminent release !
