A nostalgic little Christmas hymn for a very strange year. Simple piano, wofting pads and subtle strings. ?
Type: Audio
Hiraeth
‘Hiraeth’ means a longing for a home you can’t return to, or one that was never yours. Calm synth pads, strings and yearning solo cello.
Solace
Calm, meandering strings and synth set a backdrop for some contemplative piano and glass marimba.
Signal to Noise
A mysterious, cinematic neo-classical piece featuring solo cello & piano on a background of warm synths and ominous low strings. Dark and melancholy, but also hopeful.
Reverie
An intimate, dream-like track featuring effected piano, synth and strings. Something to vibe to, with world being the way it is these days… ❤️
Ephemera
A luscious ambient piece featuring solo cello against a background of wafting electronics, constructed from beach field recordings in Australia.
Machina
A glitchy, electronic ambient track evoking the atmospheric scores of classic 80’s science fiction.
Undertow
A sombre, ebbing piano/string/synth track. Inspired by times where life takes unexpected turns; sometimes you just can’t help but be pulled with it.
Sleep
A dreamy, wofting ambient piano track with slightly wonky strings adding a floating atmosphere. Like flying through a dream!
Monomyth – The Distant Sun
All journeys start here – the place of safety and calm, but looking to the stars and dreaming of a different life; a different world. Effected strings and solo cello set the scene, creating a calm, but not quite serene atmosphere. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.
Monomyth – The Things That Keep Us Here
Family. Duty. The things that keep us grounded, what keep us from giving up on our hopes, but what also holds us back from stepping across the precipice into the unknown. Ambient, effected piano and synth create a thoughtful, slightly melancholy atmosphere. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.
Monomyth – The Vision
Unearthing knowledge of what truly lies in the unknown is breathtaking, but also terrifying – a realisation of what must be done. Wavering ambient synth and strings morph into a realised version of the Monomyth main theme on solo cello, ending with a quiet, serene theme, reflecting a greater understanding of the universe. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.
Monomyth – The Spaces Between
The unknown is strange and bewildering, but also lonely, and we are reminded of the things we left behind, and the long road that lies ahead of us. Slow, ambient strings and synths provide a starry background for some brooding solo cello. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.
Monomyth – The Encounter
The protagonist is truly tested for the first time. The darkness enters, and the threat is real. Driving, menacing synth and strings slowly build towards a dramatic, epic drop, ending unresolved. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.
Monomyth – The Fall
Sometimes, in spite of our best efforts, we fail. What matters is what we do next. A dark brass chord signals a dark change, the uncertainty. Solo cello fights to find some sense, but fails again. Soft, emotional strings signal the certainty and power that the protagonist requires to rise again. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.
Monomyth – The Restoration
The protagonist returns home, restoring the calm and familiarity, but tempered with the certainty of greater knowledge beyond the wall. Simple effected piano with a restrained rendition of the main theme. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.
Petrichor
Ambient, wafting synth pads and distorted leads set the scene for some humble, soft piano — giving way to a luxurious swell of warm synth tones at the height of the track. Just like the smell of soil after summer rain.
There is a Place
Melancholy ambient piano and strings – dreaming of a cosy, safe place to ride out the last of this Swedish winter :).
She Moved Mountains
Very simple ambient piano, focusing on the space between notes. Subtle strings and synths fill out the space. This was a musical response to the passing of someone I knew.
Computations in a Snowstorm
Ambient electronics, strings and solo cello, melding into an amorphous tonal explorational soundscape. I’ve also included a ‘No Cello’ mix, which transforms the track into atmospheric underscore.
