sunday hangover improv 🫠

I’ve been deep in electronic explorations recently, discovering vast new worlds for the music to live in. In light of these explorations I put together this playlist of some of the more electronic leaning music from my catalogue.

late night exploration of a new idea

happy 214th birthday to my favourite composer, who inspired me and Alice Sara Ott to make a full album based on his works

here’s Verses live from the Yellow Lounge

Back in 2021, Ólafur Arnalds and cinematographer @BenjaminHardman introduced us to a minuscule world of moss and water in a beautiful short film for New Grass; a piece of music which evokes the power of nature, representing revival, growth, and the exploration of new paths 🌱

Another lovely visit to the north of Iceland to record with SinfoniaNord at Hof. Totally unique to record an orchestra in such a remote place, fully concentrated and locked in. No distractions, amazing players, smooth management and great techs make for a great experience.

I’ve been writing a lot of new music lately, still trying to figure out where to go next. Horizon is wide open and that’s often the hardest place to be - everything is possible.
