in your hands

Fundamental frequency relationships and interactions are a core part of this album - with the first couple of tracks using just intonation in precise ratios, then the latter moving into free tuning, chosen in an innate and instinctive way. Their development over time is the heart of this music.

Made on modular synthesisers for deeply expressive tonal and textural explorations - the ability to access elemental modulation parameters and feedback paths allows for extensive interaction between the elements to create organic and complex harmonic relationships.

Performed live directly from the machines, recorded to tape. I love this process, it's intuitive and entirely hands-on, human and highly focused.
The other essential part of the album is the use of field recordings - usually recorded myself but as I was ill, I started asking my close family to take some to use in the music. This idea grew to close friends, and continued to expand, ultimately including many family and friends - artists, musicians and non- musicians, from all over the world.

The only direction was record something that intuitively spoke to them - the most important thing is these wonderful people were part of the music.
The results were incredible and every single one is included across the album - processed, reimagined and a completely necessary part of the work.

This album is dedicated to all of them and everyone else that helped me though - friends, family, medical staff and beyond - all incredible and I'm deeply grateful for their support. Wouldn't be here today without them
