The UK lockdown from March to June 2020 was such a different and extraordinary time it made me feel like I should be doing something completely different too, and my thoughts returned to creating music which evoked the emotions and inner landscapes of these strange times. From this, the art/music crossover project Sparkling Isolation was born.
It soon became clear that Sparkling Isolation was not a one-off: the drive to create more ambient music in various styles has so far resulted in two further albums, There's Life On Broken Ground - an ambitious album of piano composotions, orchestral textures and ambient soundscapes - and Feelspace, which plays with glitch textures and gestural, spontaneous movements.

All my music is free forever, but you can support me by making a donation when you download the music.
I have also created two EPs which are more exploratory and eclectic in sonic style, mostly as ways towards learning further musical skills. These are Not All Who Wander Are Found, themed around wandering away from all that the world might have expected of me, and Sketch Book, a small collection of playful learning curve compositions.

More albums and EPs will be posted as my musical journey progresses over the next few years. The re-emergence of music has also set in motion some slow-burning fundamental changes to my creative practice, and the long-term aim is to fully integrate art, music and poetry into seamless crossover projects, including short films.
