LANDSCAPE MUSIC
'It's important to produce music that doesn't divorce itself from human energy, but at the same time, I'm trying to free my music from the dead weight of the 'real' world. A music that is formed by complete spontaneity and automatism, thus creating an unplanned musical collage of random harmony and atonal interaction. I'm not always looking for synchrony, but rather a music that is in dialogue, sound as a sculpture allowing individual segments to flow and interject at their own pace whilst maintaining a shared aim. Ultimately it's a conversation that may or may not arrive at an agreement between the parties. '- Immiscible
THERE- Did you hear that ? Silence - intense listening - nothing. NO there it is - short but unmistakable. What a pleasure.
Selected works from Immiscible which blur the boundaries of improvisation, automatism and composition. 'Cerebral', but as a non material artform it allows for listener interpretation and imagination.
Warning -There's nothing here for the 'skip' generation as the music requires concentration and deep listening.

THE THREE STORIES
Veiled - A life's journey that never quite 'made it' and all the time - the rain pours.
Hoist Youthful sails
Let them fill with a fools wind
The captain sets course for a life of greed and plenty - chasing glitter.
An ever expanding waistline and neighbourly pride is a 'dream kitchen'
Glitter at the expense of his own children.
Scoff scoff scoff with fellow pigs in the trough the hold is never quite full enough, never reaching land.
Soon his vessel lies shipwrecked, two black circles aloft , it spins, capsizes and sinks without trace.
The glitter is sold by arguing offspring - the fruits of a man who was, and remains in death,
No one in particular.
