-
Unsung Canopies (25.01.23 )
A gourd kalimba, repeated and layered until individual notes dissolve into a continuous tonal texture, something between rhythm and resonance, between instrument and environment.
-
Snowfall (23.01.23)
An octave guitar phrase arranged and redistributed across time and sonic space. The same gesture heard from multiple distances simultaneously, as if sound itself were settling.
-
At The Edge Of Oblivion (18.01.23)
A single trumpet note, its swell and flutter taken as raw material for an unnerving, expanding wall of sound. Tension without resolution.
-
Celestial Passenger (09.01.23)
Six separated synth notes, panned and positioned across the stereo field, then layered and manipulated into a slowly revolving chorus, six voices in orbit.
-
Inbound (04.01.23)
Audio captured from phone footage on the final approach into Waterloo station at night. The underlying rhythm of the train gradually joined by complementary instruments, and eventually by the electromagnetic impulses of the train itself.
-
Upon Clouds (22.01.23)
A single sustained string chord, manipulated and expanded until its origins are unrecognisable. The sensation of altitude.
-
Triptych (21.01.23)
A single electronic piano phrase duplicated and arranged in a triangular spatial configuration, each version playing back at a different but complementary speed. Three panels; the same source viewed from different positions simultaneously.
-
Tired Eyes (19.01.23)
Two synth notes captured in a Highland cabin after a ten-hour drive through snow and rain, set gradually shifting against each other in phase and space. The road still moving long after the journey ended.
-
Cliffs of St Kilda (2019) [Music for SwimWild]
Original sound track composed for SwimWild's 'Outer Hebrides & St Kilda Expedition' back in 2019 Watch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyOrtUXw82Y
-
Veritatis (12.01.23)
A fragment of choral music subjected to radical transformation: pitch, time, and texture pushed to their limits. A return to earlier Choral Exploration territory.
-
Beaulieu Road (03.01.23)
A single repeating piano octave phrase manipulated into a chordal soundscape. Written to accompany driving footage taken crossing the New Forest National Park.
-
Gathering Storm (15.01.23)
A single aleatoric piano note, repeated, layered, and shaped to suggest the rhythmic knock of a ship's bell or flag rope in rising weather, and the stillness that follows.
-
Tread Lightly (13.01.23)
A short piano phrase recorded, layered, and manipulated in multiple directions. Accompanied by footage from the first proper dog walk taken during recovery from a significant back injury.
-
Cartographic Rain (10.01.23)
A dusty old electric piano run through a cassette deck, thoroughly processed and arranged into a calm, slowly evolving chordal piece.
-
String Theory (08.01.23)
Two toy instruments, a miniature guitar and a ukulele, recorded, stretched, and layered. Tension becomes pulse; the chaotic and the rhythmic arrive at an uneasy coexistence.
-
Wittensford (02.01.23)
Constructed from a short video clip taken on a morning dog walk: a babbling ford and passing traffic near home in the New Forest. Dulcimer, piano, and additional layers take their pitches directly from frequencies extracted from the recordings themselves.
-
Chronosphere (20.01.23)
The chimes of an old grandfather clock played back at reduced speeds, stacked and interwoven until time itself becomes ambiguous. Part of a daily electroacoustic compositional study from January 2023. Full album : jnfh.bandcamp.com/album/jnfh-0123-volume-ii JnfH_0123 | Volume I is now out on all...
-
Prevailing Winds (17.01.23)

more -
Abandoned Glass (14.01.23)
A beer bottle retrieved from a woodland path, tapped against a signpost. Its resonant frequencies extracted and sculpted into something unrecognisable. The raw field recording surfaces at the end. Part of a daily electroacoustic compositional study from January 2023. Full album :...
-
At Rest (11.01.23)
A single recording of an East German toy piano, stretched and shifted across a spectrum of speeds. Simple origins, hypnotic results. Part of a daily electroacoustic compositional study from January 2023. Full album : jnfh.bandcamp.com/album/jnfh-0123-volume-ii JnfH_0123 | Volume I is now out on…
more -
Distant Chimes (07.01.23)
A toy grand piano becomes the engine for an interlocking rhythmic kaleidoscope; multiple layers running at different speeds and pitches, somewhere between Steve Reich and West African polyrhythm. Part of a daily electroacoustic compositional study from January 2023. Full album :...
