Music | Sound Art | Field Recording
Sketches is possibly my first “proper” album. A response to landscape and environment, natural and man-made, in the details and the distances. Melodic lo-fi ambient music – instruments and field recordings.
The Listening Station is a collection of my more ambient tracks from 2018-2019.
Autophon is a collection of my more electronic rhythmic tracks from 2018-19.
Now that I have re-started my music and sound art practice I need a better portable recording set up to capture field recordings but I only have a budget of few hundred pounds...
My latest album Sketches is now available on Bandcamp.
I've now got a couple of initial collections available on Bandcamp.
I seem to work best if I have a set focus for a while, a project. The latest tracks I'm producing are simply entitled "Sketches". I'm mainly working with some new sounds and effects that I have for Ableton Live specifically the free Spitfire Audio Labs and BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover plugins and creating some soundtrack work.
We've been under lockdown in the UK for 7 weeks now. During that time I've mainly been doing DIY! - making our house and small garden work better now that all the family are living here all the time. Two adults and two children in the same space all working from home requires more workspaces than we usually have.
Last October I wrote a post about not having a dedicated work/studio space in my house for a couple of years due to ongoing renovations and posted a picture of the place that would become my new little studio space.
