about

Snowblind is a concept album about loss, told through a collection of field recordings captured over the last 15 years.

These sounds - and the memories associated with them - are twisted and abstracted to form desolate frozen landscapes, slowly decaying throughout the album as humanity neglects nature.

The music slips through time itself; in listening to the present, you are exploring elements of my past whilst simultaneously hearing the sound of the future.

The end result is a white-out of sonic atmospheres; sampled environments, distorted textures, and a selection of instrumental contributions from a range of guest musicians.
