Over the course of the last 2 years I've been slowly chipping away at this album.
In between terrible jobs and family troubles, it was something to keep me going and give me something creative to focus on.
I think it turned out to be my best.
Growing up in North East England, I've always been surrounded by water. The North Sea, the River Tyne, the artificial lakes in Killingworth. Even when I moved south for university I found myself living directly on the River Colne.
Hydrosphere is an album about water. The way it moves, the way it sounds and the things that live in it.
Largely electronic in sound, this album transitions between styles and genres to emulate the way that water flows from state to state.
Recorded in my home studio with a plethora of synthesizers, drum machines, effects units, tape machines, guitars, wind instruments, the All Scott Ampleford Male Voice Choir and field recordings from a beach in North Shields.
I'm really chuffed with this album, folks. I hope you enjoy it!
