Music 🎶
At the heart of it all, at the bottom of it all, below the tech, below the theory, behind all the work is play – I am a musician.
Forest Bed | Placeholders EP
I’m really happy to announce that my band Forest Bed’s first EP; Placeholders is now available on Bandcamp!
That’s Right
Time just seems to be slipping out from under me whilst I feel like I’m slowing down. I can’t belive it’s nearly September, christ.
