Summer Shed Blossom EP
This past month, January, an Australian summer, has been a curious period of classically beautiful weather that provided the opportunity for morning swims and city bike rides amidst a time that was also very quiet and absent of people in many of the usually populated spots.
I was afforded the opportunity then to swim, to ride, to walk across a solitary landscape and think up musical ideas and problems that I could then return home to tinker with in the studio in my backyard. The sound palette I went for was almost exclusively generated by my Moogs, which created some nice exercises in structural minimalism as I tried to subtract rather than add.
One other thing that I did for this little album was create a video clip for each song, having a bit of fun hamming it up for some excursions across the city. My daughter helped me film the performance of Patet on the site of the old Newcastle bowling club, long gone, that overlooks the ocean.
I hope you enjoy :) Thank you as always for your generosity and support.
