‘Explorations’

a series of hypnotic, quiet videos and field recordings of musical work in progress, shot in natural environments.

Explorations is a meditative, ongoing process of improvising, capturing and developing new musical ideas while they’re still in an early phase of development - a song before it’s a finished song, melodies that are still finding themselves, lyrics that haven’t decided what words they really want to be yeT. I treat the natural world as my working studio, wander out into a remote location to see what ideas appear and where they go.  I try to allow myself to just flow with a musical idea and let it hypnotize me; let it continue as long as it wants to.  Some of these fragments will become finished songs, some of them won’t ever be more than a fleeting musical thought. And either way, there will be a beautiful, raw document of new creations in the making, filmed in wild, immersive natural environments, my favorite places to go exploring.
