about

'Elsewhere' is a return to a more abstract, ambient, chilled-out, laid-back, space lounge sound. My earlier 'Departure Lounge' (www.nofi.org/discography/2009-departure-lounge/) was a collection of electronic, dark dub and minimal techno listening music that grew out of live performances at the time. Those tracks captured the spontaneity and immediacy of my on-the-fly process for composing, recording and performing.

For 'Elsewhere', I wanted to build on that process with a more intentional approach to making music. I took more time to compose, arrange, mix-down and master each track. While it still incorporates live performance, generative and probabilistic elements, the album became a more consistent, coherent and spacious work as a result. All tracks but one were posted as works-in-progress and incorporate feedback from listeners.

My approach is to create systems for making music. In terms of style and tone, I hope 'Elsewhere' can find a place in playlists alongside works by Monolake, Biosphere, Four Tet and The Field.
