A slow lament for the quiet days of the early summer. As the noise levels dropped and skies cleared we chanced upon a quiet that I had never known before and I felt profoundly moved by this lack of human sound.
As those days recede from us and become half glimpsed memories, I feel such a strong pull to return and a regret that I cannot do so.
Halcyon days is a narrative of my journey through the landscape that is so dear to me. Across meadows, down through beech woods to the little stream deep in the valley where there was no-one but me to find and chance upon a stillness that we were all so lucky to have felt.
Ambient, piano based, lower-case music. Quiet and intimate - it explores sounds from both acoustic and electronic sources, along with processed field recordings and gathered, ‘found’ sounds. This music is not static though. It drifts. It constantly shifts and creates new maps that are full of change but listen carefully and you’ll also hear quiet, random glitches or shimmering dissonances.
