Collaboration with pleq

Finally available is the new EP from Polish artist Bartosz Dziadosz aka pleq, featuring one track for which I recorded some multi-tracked cello parts. It's a beautiful slowed-down remix of a Ben Lukas Boysen (aka Hecq), the original piano augmented by French pianist Julien Marchal. The overdubbed parts were improvised in our respective studios by us, and Bartosz added washes of sound and extra-twinkly production.

A video of our track was made by Ken Hirama.

The EP is available on Canadian post-classical/electronic label Moderna Records now:

vale – new track for streaming

A couple of years ago I recorded an album over two weekend sessions at the beautiful Music Feeds Studio, with engineering and mixing help from Chris Hancock. It's less electronic than a lot of my other stuff – much of it was aimed at realising my multi-layered looping pieces in lush acoustic multi-tracked recordings.
But the other half are extravagant pieces jammed, overdubbed, mixed and overdubbed right there in the studio.

I'm yet to release the album – entitled the night is dark, the night is silent, the night is bright, the night is loud. Once I've remixed a few tracks a little bit, I'll send it out into the world (maybe a like-minded label will help me there)… In the meantime, you can stream this track, which mixes up faux-guitar cello, rapturous arco fragments, helium harmonics and a couple of field recordings.
