I have a new story out in the world! It's short, and combines three of my favourite things: magic, music, and grouchiness at the state of the world. Hope you enjoy it! www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/conc...

Concerto For Wartime - Lightspeed Magazine

The magician raises his wand. Initially, this commission seemed simple. One large country invading a much smaller one, a clear case of aggressor and victim—but nothing is ever so straightforward.

What kind of music do I make? Here's a playlist I made to answer that question. It's good, I'm told, for letting your mind wander to. (Which is partly why I make it, for my own contemplative explorations.) I hope you enjoy it.

New album out today! TOKORO explores my feelings about living in Tokyo for six months.

Happy New Year from Tokyo!

In Sydney and want to chill out? My Antarctic collab with Philip Samartzis and Marty Walch is screening at the moment. We've seen audience members put their coats back on mid-way so it does seem to have a cooling effect!

I’m living in Tokyo for seven months. Here’s a place I passed yesterday that I definitely plan to visit.

Here's a video I made for my track on the charity album PURR24. I think Rudi would like to be the ruler of his own planet! You can listen to and/or buy the album in lots of places, and all money raised goes to the care of elder cats like Rudi. There's a link in the video text. youtu.be/JMYIHvZWTW0

PURR24 features my favourite cat, Rudi, who lived with me while his parents were overseas. He's now lead vocalist on the closing track!

Incredible review of my double CD with Steve Roach: “a living, breathing space… envelops you in layers of sound so subtle and spacious that time itself feels elastic… left suspended in silence, as if the world has stopped for just a moment to catch its breath.” www.chaindlk.com/reviews/12403
