Self-taught

I am mostly self-taught. I never really followed a prescribed route into music.

For a long time I composed with pen and paper, learning mainly by doing: writing, listening, discarding things and starting again.

That is still basically how I work.

iPhone → Logic

In 2008 I started making complete pieces of music on my iPhone.

At the time, using a phone as the main tool for composing and producing music was still unusual. I liked the limitation of it, and also the freedom of being able to work anywhere.

In 2016 I moved to Logic. The possibilities became much larger, but I kept something of the same attitude: use what is needed and keep the technology secondary to the music.

Before Zenapolae

The releases on Zenapolae are only the most recent part of my work.

There is a large catalogue before them, made over many years and with very different means. I don't regard it as a separate past. It is where much of what I do now came from.

Zenapolae

I started releasing music through Zenapolae in 2024.

It is where my current catalogue lives, including Roads Through the Mirror.

The earlier work is still part of the story, but Zenapolae marks the beginning of what I am doing now.

Decorating time

Music has always been a way of decorating time — giving it colour, weight, movement and space.

The tools have changed: pen and paper, an iPhone from 2008, Logic since 2016. The attention to time has remained.
