Emergence of two undefinables from Becoming with Brandon Eversole. The idea was to work with mystical structure and a scifi score sort of vibe musically as part of the new Feeling Is Structure album.

I often wish I had more opportunity to step back and talk in detail about the ideas behind the work we release, so it was a pleasure to spend time exploring the creative process, references, collaborators, challenges, and ideas that have shaped my projects over the years.


A recording of one of these conversations is now available below, it took place at one of my favourite venues, The Glasshouse. I hope you find something interesting in it.

Years of love and pain and bliss and punishment go into making an album and then its release day and it needs to be summarised in a few words…..I can’t be other than I am, and this is how it’s been sounding as I tried to make a soundtrack for a space with a focus on structures that confer meaning to me.

Every track is a different musical and visual and live environment structure which I’ll be delving into in coming weeks with some spoken and written explainers and collaborations to show you.

For today there’s a website with the chapters released so far explained, and for today “The Shape of Memory” with Factory Fifteen where we used photos of important memories submitted by listeners, and they turned them into something of the abstracted incomplete 3D flythrough of the memory of or shared lives.

Many thanks for having a look and a listen it really is appreciated in these days of shortform interaction x

My new album, Feeling Is Structure is out this Friday. It began as a commission for a live show at London’s Royal Albert Hall, and developed around the connections between felt meaning and physical structures, which I’ll explain as the projects come. Alongside the album, we’ll be releasing ten audio-visual spatial works that tell that story over the coming months, with Ebb + Flow and Pattern Index already released so far. Pre-save and pre-order via digital / limited edition vinyl on my link in bio.

My UK album tour starts next month - I’m going on a bit of a concert hall formatted tour this spring with my new album that was built around a new visual show. There’s a lot of beautiful spaces on the list throughout the UK, I hope something is nearby for you. That’s not to say it’s going to be all ambient, I’ll still have a fully reactive show system so if you want to push the intensity you can let me know and we’ll go wherever the vibes take us as usual.

Next up is Royal Albert Hall with a 360 immersive show with very limited production holds being released via RAH website.
