Same loop, different day. It fascinates me that there are endless possibilities with accompaniments and riffing alongside an idea sketched in sound. Somewhere on its journey, there might be a moment where it lands.

“Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working” - Brian Eno.
I’m glad I traversed the Mynd today to further experiment with this Mosses tune. It’s a curious thing to have a whisper of an idea days ago to sounding it out back in the studio.

I love the creative process & putting a loop on whilst noodling about on various instruments to accompany it. These sketches may become pieces or warm clusters of sound just for the moment. It all counts and contributes to the whole as I journey towards the next album: beautifulnoise.substack.com

Today, Swallows flew into this new studio space, carefully nuancing their flight to see what I was up to in the space. They also made it onto the recording! I’ve moved here to bring together the Mosses album over the coming months.

In a brill interview Brian Eno reminds us to pay attention to what we like & enjoy rather than give into endless distractions & should’s of this world. I agree, although not yet possible 24-7, I make it a priority weekly to play & explore. Ideas are born & the real joy of music-making lives here.

Do you feel a sense of belonging to where you live? It's funny, I find I'm drawn to the ridge lines of South Shropshire and feel a sense of place there much more than the flatter plain in the North of the County but I love the Meres and the Mosses up there. Where do you most feel at home?

Welcome to the studio space I use, where the sounds of nature and music combine to hopefully evolve into something meaningful. Most of this next adventure in music-making collaborating with the Mosses in North Shropshire, will be documented on beautifulnoise.substack.com.

Warmer days are here again. It's been far too long since I've made noise in this space, and such a relief to open the studio doors and let the Spring birdsong in!
