Light comes down
This was a fun little piece to write! It started out as I was playing with building out a drum rhythm, and then grew from there into a semi-breakbeat type of hybrid
More music on Bandcamp!
I haven’t updated my Bandcamp page in several years… But that’s just changed! I’ve uploaded music from the last year or so there. So now you can download it in super-high fidelity,
Deep River dreaming
I’ve written a few times about heading down to Western Australia’s “Great Southern” region. There’s a small bush-shack we stay at. It’s on a property surrounded by national parks, and is far

Liminal: Four new tracks
I’ve just released four new tracks to tickle your earballs! They mix a lo-fi retro vibe with more modern instrumentation and sounds. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Music, YouTube… wherever you
Tears for you
The YouTube video includes a capture of my DAW (Reaper) for this track. Hopefully the mix is better on this one; I’m still struggling to get the whole thing to sound coherent
How many do you see?
