    I love reading about the process of making it as I listen!

    TOGETHER

    SOUL

    I used an ambient piece I've been working on as a base, and layered it with a field recording I took in the Lake District of birdsong. I've always fel…

    LETTERS

    This was a tricky theme, it didn't immediately jump out at me how I could incorporate 'letters' into music. I then thought about voice notes, and how…

    I took my field mic and moved it around in my hands, recording those interactions. I then added some synth lines, both holding the same notes througho…

    I used a field recording of birdsong I captured in the lake district a few months ago, and created a patch on my drum machine that reminds me of windc…
