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.

My journey to make music over the Shropshire hills is something else. “[…] the variety of geological settings is unmatched within the British Isles or, within such a relatively small area, probably anywhere else in the world.” - S.G.S.

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

Dawn chorus at Whixall this am, even better!

Dawn chorusing with @mattsewell.bsky.social on the Mosses. An incredible listening experience. More tomorrow!

Explorations in the key of G accompanied by a Robin.

Sonic explorations in the studio, followed by field recording at sunset on the Mosses. A brilliant day.

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!
