philosophical ambient · gentle electric piano
“Event Horizon” came from one image of wisdom I couldn't put down, and then refused to leave.
It is philosophical ambient, so nothing hurries — the gentle electric piano is allowed to just sit in the room.
Play it low. It was made low.
How it's actually made: gentle electric piano, close-mic'd, and everything unnecessary removed.
Most of a session ends up deleted. What survives is the piece.
Reference points, since people ask: Erik Satie, Claude Debussy, Ludovico's quiet school.
“Singularity” came from the sound of Plato when no one is listening, and then refused to leave.
Each pass got quieter until only wisdom was left.
Made small, on purpose.
I don't choose the city; it keeps choosing me.
The gentle electric piano found the shape before I did; I stayed out of the way.
Play it low. It was made low.
I make music about Plato and stillness, and I mean every note — but I won't pretend it's free.
Choosing quiet can look, from outside, like disappearing. Some days the calm I write about is the calm I most need myself.
If you make gentle music and feel overlooked, you are not doing it wrong. That is just the shape of it.
No shuffle. It's an album, not a playlist.
Does the odd tiny show around the UK — pub back rooms, little halls, the occasional living room. Nothing you'd need a ticket tout for. Fancy hosting one? Ask.
In the lineage of Erik Satie · Claude Debussy · Ludovico's quiet school · Federico Mompou · Harold Budd
Left corporate banking to score the philosophy of a loud city, quietly.
Officially: philosophical ambient on gentle electric piano. Unofficially: I found a corner of Plato and never left.
There are a few records — “Event Horizon”, “Singularity” — which is more than I expected and fewer than my mother hoped.
Small music, made carefully.
