Submerged (Remix)

A heavily re-worked song from my first album Naoise, featuring new, lush production by myself and vocals from the inimitable Anchor Méjans. This is quite a mix of styles for me, combining my older, less sophisticated work with new experimentation. Enjoy!

Still On The Surface

Composed under sleep deprivation and without any stylistic goal other than to convey a vague, complex emotional state, "Still On The Surface" is a rather challenging ambient piece. The arrangement is technically minimal, but comes across as atmospheric and lush. It was inspired by experiments in dense, effect-laden soundscapes and noise music that I began after my last EP, and influenced by neo-classical, shoegaze and ambient works rather than the traditional pop, rock and electronic music that is so prevalent in my other compositions. The melody is free-flowing; heavily reverbed, echoed, chorused keyboards, strings and a xylophone slowly pass through several movements, often in vastly different time signatures. It's a change in direction, and not one I'm sure I will fully explore, but one I felt was worth sharing.

Churchfall

Moody, emotional classical piece that closed my first album, Naoise.

Space-Based Utopia

Ambient/Chillout track from my first album, Naoise.

Rainclouds

"Rainclouds" is a slow, ambient track from 8. It's very mellow, but grows more and more energetic as it progresses. This is the longest song from 8, mostly because of the 67.5 BPM tempo. Based on a pad sample from Dream In Blue by A Minor Theory, this uses an unusual drum pattern in that the snare falls on the 1 and 3 beats, rather than 2 and 4 which is what I usually program. Lots of shoegaze elements in this multilayered track. Enjoy!
