Hallucinations
String Orchestra and Piano. Reverie: The Importance of Standing Still Daydreaming is an important part of my creative process. I am at my most creative when I am lost in my thoughts in complete solitude. It allows for planning, reflection and the opportunity to invent a parallel existence contrived from a series of what ifs. Alas a Utopia, my favourite part of being lost in ones own reverie.more

Gaia's Lament
I decided to segue three existing tracks together to create a new release, these are: 1. "They Chose Greed Over Life" (the dramatic choral opening in 5/4 time, using the Mixolydian flat 6 scale). 2. "Armageddon Extinction Apocalypse" (the dissonant, atonal ambient middle section). 3. "Gaia's Lament" (the plaintive final section with strings and soprano voices). The first two tracks originally had different names, but I renamed them to suit the overall narrative. The artwork, while reminiscent of a nuclear blast, is actually of a sunset over a field in the vicinity of the A39 road somewhere on the North Devon / Somerset border back in February 2005.more
