New single: Deedee

‘Deedee' is the obvious name I came up with for a piece built around a two-note theme (D & E)… The vibraphone, piano and mellotron recordings were leftovers from the Rococochet sessions, a piece originally called ‘Verges’ that just didn’t come together in time. Here I’ve added lots of found sounds from my back garden where I installed some bird feeders over the summer. There’s also a lot of messing around on synths, attempting to mimic bird sounds electronically... I guess I was trying to blend the two worlds together in a way?



I made a music video all by myself using a nifty app on my phone called 'nception' and some stock footage of starlings doing their thing. You can check it out here (for some reason I can't embed it): https://youtu.be/wzg6XiudcJU



Deedee is the first single from my new EP, Bird Rib, which will be released on March 19. Each of the tracks on the album has a starting point from something I had made in the past, old recordings from past projects either repurposed, resampled or reversed. You can preorder it on Bandcamp here, and stream/download Deedee from all the usual places.
