Music
I am one half of indie-folk songwriting duo forestfloor - live session EP now available on all platforms:
We make thoughtful and arresting unplugged music for fans of Bon Iver, Fairport Convention, Dirty Projectors, Adrianne Lenker, Radiohead. We like to play intimate local gigs, or just skulk around in the woods:
Here are some music project highlights prior to forestfloor:
- Bird Bones - while at art school in Kingston I joined an experimental music collective with classical, folk and post-rock influences. My solo material, based around fingerstyle acoustic guitar in open tunings, spawned a band called Bird Bones (with Steve James of Semble and Daniel Best of Union Sound Set). We played Glastonbury Festival in 2008.
- Solo music producer - after moving back to Folkestone I self-produced many EPs and albums of brooding, atmospheric folktronica. I translated my multi-instrumental compositions to the stage using live-looping techniques.
- Boo, Forever - a collaborative project with Si Norton, Ben Fletcher, Natalie Evans and Rebecca Aimi. We shared songwriting duties and I produced our eponymous album, released on vinyl in 2013 by Something Something Records.
- Minor Planet - my playful rap alter ego. I made an alternative hip-hop album and shot some music videos with local filmmaker Joel Snowman, capturing a common experience of our home town from the fringes.
I'm particularly proud of this online archive of my lyrics.
Dedicated fans can find older rarities of mine on Soundcloud.
"The blending of acoustic folk’s soft touch and the cold, processed sound of electronic production is something that has been tried a fair amount but has rarely clicked into place. Kent based Boo, Forever can count themselves amongst the minority that have succeeded. Their self-titled debut draws from the likes of Tuung, Bon Iver et al that have a fellow penchant for mixing the new and the old, resulting in something that is constantly intruiging and whose layers of experimentation are easy to lose one’s self in."
