It's finally here! My first official new release in a couple of years: 'Wherever I Will Be'. Streaming link in bio! The reason my new music has taken a little while to arrive is also partly because of what the song is about. The piece is a 9:37 philosophical epic of droning synths and vocal ragas, blurring acoustic/electronic boundaries, and featuring lyrics recounting a devastating and beautiful conversation I had with my mum before she died. We were talking about the news she had just been given, that she only had a few months left to live. In such an offhand, casual way, she had referred to *afterwards* as "Wherever I Will Be" with the openness, bravery and vulnerability I am grateful to have known in her.

Monday Meditation will continue in August! Thanks

I'm going to do a Monday Meditation series over on

I'm going to do a Monday Meditation series over on my Facebook page - starting today. I'll make some sounds with my voice and loopers, you do whatever you need to take some time out from this challenging moment in history. I'll ring the bell at the start and the end! 🔔

Sometimes in my singing or aikido training, part of me despairs at the things I've yet to understand or master. I feel far away from any milestones of success. Reflecting this morning, I remembered that I'm already where I need to be, because the process is what counts. There's no future time it'll all 'click'. There's no secret. Just training. And when feelings of judgement or fear are not in focus, the process - in and of itself - looks much closer to the arts within me that I have always loved. "YOU are always the expert on yourself. It is always up to you. Yes, on hard days you'll feel like this is a huge burden - you are responsible, solely, for defying the entropy that creeps and steals endlessly into your bones. But on other days, like a true expert, you'll fill your awareness with new, diverse and liberating knowledge that ultimately integrates into an increasingly-capable and empowered you. Yes, you're the one who does all the work. It is always up to you. You are alone and not alone in this. And your inspired self wouldn't want it any less of a challenge."
