The days are pretty long at the moment. As a parent you feel the siren pull to reduce all your commitments to the bare essentials. I think Andy Crouch said in his book ’The Tech-wise Family’, that demonstrating skills in the home gives your children a better idea of what you do - that there is something to admire and aim for. Otherwise they never see you doing anything ‘other’ that what adults typically do - going to a weird place called work and doing chores around the home. This is not to belittle the ‘mundane’, I more mean that life at home should mirror the variety of what it means to be human. I have endeavoured, since becoming a father, to make things, and let my kids see me try and fail. Sometimes I can include them directly (see various my #jamuary series) or indirectly (this EP). So maybe that is why I still make things even when the washing needs to be put on (and I have nothing against washing clothes - listen to track 4).

Perhaps this description is unnecessary - does the act of creation need a justification in God’s kingdom? I do not know why I’ve been recording this music, only that making something at the end of a big day can be cathartic (though I am not trying to convey anger) and a very good way of focusing wholly on something else. Flow is also a wonderful thing to experience when your day has been filled with a lot of multitasking.

Am I overthinking a noise EP - probably. Explaining what I mean with words is hard, which is probably why I write instrumental music. Just listen - it might make sense.

'Enjoy'.
