about

Written and recorded on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

I played quite a lot of acoustic guitar at home in 2014–2015 very, very quietly while the kiddos were sleeping – usually in the middle of the night. This time of playing led to me writing tracks 1–6. Often I would play the songs over and over with no real end but when it came to recording them, and playing them live, I cut them pretty short. I also recorded saxophone through numerous effects in 2015 – Sax I and Sax II. Last year, I gathered field recordings from rivers, beaches, factories, the city, etc...and layered them up on Sax II. They're all a bit rough and sometimes clunky.
