Thoughts on a new work

It's been almost three long years since i released my experimental, instrumental album called Colours


It seemed like a crazy idea at the time but i had none better...hence i went on a journey to discover the potential within. On this journey i met the irrepressable Cyrus Sutton and Reis Paulso. 



 


Tom Wegener had told me i HADDDD to visit these guys and that i'd enjoy their creative energy and lifestyle. So i met up with Cy and he took me on the most mental hike i have ever been on.


To Reis and Cyrus it was only a training exercise, yet to my thinking it was more like Everest. My musical body hadn't felt pain like this since high school, when a crazy science teacher took our class into the great unknown and got us lost for 3 days without supplies...



 


So, as it were, Cyrus and i saw eye to eye on the creative lifestyle and i was fortunate enough that he used my music in his film Stoked and Broke. Since this time i have been back to my lyrical ways and have a whole new album of songs. Though not instrumental i believe that my production has become more adventurous thanks to the whole COLOURS shinanigans...


To cut a long and arduos story short...i will be releasing a new album THE LIONS SHARE this MAY 2012. Keep an ear and eye out for it here on the Korduroy site. In the meantime, check out my new film clip from the album called Missing Person in the gallery. 


Big thanks to Korduroy for having me here! Hope the infectious, creative inspration spreads.
