Q&A

Who's it for?

Anyone who needs circus for half an hour. That's the whole audience I'm writing for.

Vinyl / physical?

Nothing pressed at the moment. If that changes it'll be announced here first.

Can I use a track in a video / podcast / game?

Get in touch through the label with the details. Small and independent projects are welcome to ask.

Do you take commissions?

Occasionally, for the right project. Enquiries via the label.

Principles

• Make the room quieter than you found it.
• Suggestion over statement. Space over spectacle.
• Keep the mistakes that sound like weather.
• Small music, made carefully, for one listener at a time.

An obsession with the antique music box and the small mechanical wonders of memory.

It's new age ambient, played on the music box & piano, and if I'm honest it's a diary about music box that I decided to score instead of write.

The records — “Old Bell Music Box”, “The Map” — are entries, really. One continuous notebook.
