Peaked Interest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0DC1DXkF6k I'm thrilled that this video is out in the world. I was approached by Peaked Interest to create an original score for a new video, something synthie, something like a John Carpenter score. I'm pleased with the result and have got a playlist of the music in isolation here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf_o4hrSq6nRjtaZBqL3l77EK2MFaeTJY
Blue Alatar: The Elements E.P.
I'm really excited to announce this new Blue Alatar E.P.! Cinematic folk-rock-fusion with dusting of electronic oddness; there's some big riffs, but they're not all on guitar.EEK.

Ray of Light
https://youtu.be/wan1vo_LIAA Instrumental lofi hip-hop piece with loads of buggy effects and elements of vapourwave sound design. The piano hook is an original composition, which was mangled and developed for this finished piece. The track is called Ray of Light, let's just assume the artist is The Musical Endeavour - not really an issue until the … Continue reading Ray of Light

Collabavirus: Making Music in the Digital-Only World [Manchunian Matters]
I recently had a chat with with Ethan Davies for Manchunian Matters about a collaborative project run by good friend, and regular collaborator, Jay Plent. We talk about collaboration, trust and the virus.
