about

In addition to recording two LPs during Lockdown of 2020 (`Diamonds of a Horse Famine' and `Trophic Asynchrony') I also recorded a lot of improvised music on Synthesizer, Drum Machine and Guitar which I'd (mostly) forgotten about until going through files on an old mobile phone. The resulting collection is the very best of these recordings and sees me exploring musical styles such as Acid House, Electronica and experimenting with Arpeggio and sepulchral Ambient.

Everything was recorded live and improvised directly into my recording app on my mobile phone with no overdubs. I'm quite pleased with how it all sounds considering I'd forgotten about most of these sessions. I think it shows my music making process at its most playful and adventurous. I hope you enjoy too.

- Adam
