July 6 – @roughtradeeast will become home to a very special live performance + signing to celebrate the new album ‘Terra Incognita’. I’m honoured to be joined by @sarathykorwar (tabla), @dudukouate (flutes + percussion), @marysia_osu (harp), @marcpelldrums (drums/percussions), Lluís Domènech Plana (flute) and @mattiasmimoun (keys) — who all performed on the album. It will be a rare gathering with everyone playing in the same place, same time. I’m looking forward to the journey and invite everyone to join us. ‘Terra Incognita’ releases via tonal union and invites you to seven faraway sonic imaginariums fusing global and spiritual jazz with life affirming minimalism into a hypnotic, polyrhythmic odyssey. Album + entry bundles now on sale via @dicefm . See bio

Anima has been out in the world for a week 🍃 This track is very special to me as it’s the one that triggered the idea for the whole record and from which stemmed so many of the album’s motifs.  Anima the mother track, that defined the colour palette, freedom and explosiveness of a brand new world that I wanted to explore and immerse myself in ; a forever iterating but never repeating interplay of textures, sounds and sensations ; a most defining first time. Thanks to everyone who reached out to share their love and excitement!

Club Subterranea There is a little place on the outskirts of town where people meet and socialise. Dim light, hushed atmosphere. Fragments of cryptic conversations in the air. Listen now on all streaming platforms via my bio Artwork by @jacobvanloon
