Dust 3, the imaginatively titled third EP in my Dust series is out now on the Curious Music Bandcamp page, and the usual streaming sites.
These two 12 minute tracks were the first test runs of some software I’d made to let me improvise “piano quartets” on the fly. I wasn’t expecting to release them when I made them, but there’s something interesting that happens when a musician meets a new technology for the first time. I preferred these more tentative, exploratory takes to the more confident ones I made later in the same session.
Again, I particularly recommend the binaural mixes on Bandcamp, and the Atmos mixes where available on streaming. I rather like being surrounded by floating pianos.
In other news, I will be playing my first solo gig in at least twenty years, supporting Tim Bowness at the Camden Club in London, on 13th September. I’ll be playing from 7.30pm to 7.55pm, then enjoying the set from Tim Bowness & Butterfly Mind – 8.15pm – 10pm.
Just over a week later on the 21st September, I’m looking forward to playing a longer set at the Woodbridge Ambient Music Festival in Suffolk. I’ll be joined by the very guitarist Ted Morcaldi.
