Hello. 

Another Bandcamp Friday is upon us so I’ve released an album of tracks, created under my own name, between the years 2018-2021.

“con·sol·i·data”: a consolidation of little-known single releases and rarities.

“The Waiting Game [∞]”

This album is a distinctly personal body of work which represents being in limbo, torn between two countries (UK & US,) waiting to get a Visa to be able to relocate and be with the woman I love.

The title track was written almost immediately after finishing the album "Journey to Mars". I had intended to move away from piano-based music but found myself heavily influenced by its accessibility and my melancholic state of mind; writing three more pieces in quick succession. I released this four track EP, 'The Waiting Game', on 4th Feb 2019, exactly a year to the day since I had last seen my then fiancée. However, even before the EP had officially released I found myself writing more and more pieces in a similar vein. Before I knew it I had another six tracks, a full album's worth of material.

I never planned to release the album anywhere other than my bandcamp page, but upon recently listening to the album again I found myself somewhat enchanted by it, so I quickly decided to make it available across all good digital retailers and streaming platforms, via my label 'Odd John Records', before I changed my mind...

After the original release it took another seven months of waiting until I was finally able to relocate to be with my now wife. A total of nineteen long and lonely months apart. Just before leaving the country I was inspired to write the piece "The Big Sea" which is a soft, dreamy and languid piece, inspired by thoughts of my upcoming flight across the Atlantic ocean, to start my new life. It was included as a bonus track on bandcamp, but now features as the final track on the album.

Created under my Lo-Fi-Alt-Pop Alias "Myheadisaballoon", Less is More or Less [Tape-Head-Mix]

Hope you enjoy the track.

My EP “Optics” is officially released today, Friday April 16th, on Odd John Records.

My personal favourite track, “The Starshine... It Dances in Your Eyes”, can be found right here on Newgrounds. It’s a longform ambient/soundscape piece with minimal tendencies. Synthesisers, Piano and Glockenspiel. Melodies mixed with subtle shifting tones, soundscapes, vocals and effects. Intended for immersive, large (over the ear) headphone listening to fully capture the mood.

Hope you check it out.
