My pal @adventsong.uk has made a lovely album of dreamy summery electronica and you, the reader, should check it out.
At long last, Verdancy is out!
Really excited for you to hear it, it's one of my favourite releases to date. New-age electronica, ethereal downtempo, playful lo-fi, bubbly ambient, and cinematic ambient techno. Hope you enjoy it!

...brain-tickling bass and soaring synths - seven minutes of the inside of the liminal part of your brain. If you can work out what the fuck that means by the time it's finished playing then you're a better man than me...

The first song from my new vocal project, No Slugs, is out. 'The No Slugs Spa' draws inspiration from a game I play with our eldest daughter where a spa's main selling point is the (current) absence of slugs. And is maybe a metaphor for certain political offerings.

Pre-save the first single from No Slugs. 'The No Slugs Spa' is based on a game I play with our eldest daughter. And maybe also a metaphor for some of the uninspiring notionally left-wing options available in certain countries. And definitely a bop.

Another example of chess music, this time using Garry Kasparov's famous victory at Wijk aan Zee over Veselin Topalov. Gone for a wonky electronica feel on this one.

Been in a long lull on the production side so reminding myself of what I can do by going back through some old releases. This rhythmic ambience on See Blue Audio was a real breakthrough for me in terms of sound and composition at the time. Still very proud of it 🙂

My current thing is generative music based on a live game of chess. I've written a program in Supercollider which converts chess positions into midi outputs so we play a game and music is generated based on various rules, with different synths for each piece type🤘
