about

• • •

Loosely speaking, this record is a collection of ideas and off-shoots that started life amongst my professional work as a music producer.

Work done for clients was remodulated, tampered with and deconstructed until it resembled something wildly different from its origins. The rock and folk music of my day job was therefore alchemised into something stranger, and altogether more in line with my burgeoning taste for electronica, chip tune and found sounds.

Many of these pieces here also feature ambiences recorded on my portable handset; a feature of my production that would grow in prevalence over the coming years.
