about

This album features a collection of improvised pieces recorded at home on Bruny Island.
The focus for me when recording this music was on capturing the detail and nuances of touch on the instrument. My goal was to embrace the scrapes, plinks and plonks of the finger noise while playing and incorporate them into the music making, creating a textural subtext to the "traditional" flow of notes.
Always when improvising I draw on all aspects of my life and in this instance especially the incredible environment in which I am lucky to live. I don't aim to directly represent this influence musically, rather I trust that over the years these aspects have osmotically soaked into my subconscious, thus steering the music from somewhere distant and deep.

Additionally, the alternate tunings used are also improvised, done shortly before recording so I don't get a chance to learn them.
