about

One-fifth of the world’s countries are at risk of their ecosystems collapsing because of the destruction of wildlife and their habitats.

Studies have shown that Australia, where I am based, ranks in the highest levels of risk to biodiversity and the ecosystem.

Global catastrophe risk factors include climate change, ecosystem destruction, pollution, over-utilisation of resources and population growth.

Influenced by this dire situation, two albums have been created:

Age Of Amphibians - to reflect what has been, and potentially could be again. Incorporating natural field recordings for solace & meditation.

Path To Void – a reflection on where we as a species are inexorably heading. Retaining elements from “Age Of Amphibians” but stripped of all natural environmental factors. Additional layers have also been incorporated to further distinguish this album from the sister release.
