about

Flux presents 12 eclectic electronic instrumentals, a distillation of my musical influences of afrobeat, art pop, desert blues, electronica, krautrock, minimalism and world music. The tracks are connected by their melodicity, rhythmic and textural intricacy, and by their use of emotive abstract vocals.

The music has emerged gradually between 1999 and 2019, having been recorded, reimagined and transformed in such global localities as London, Thessaloniki, Matera, Berlin, Barcelona, Tokyo, Cotonou, Fez, Saarbrücken and Helsinki.

Flux refers to the dynamic process that is this world, life: the diversity and multiplicity of its narratives and possibilities; the constant change and fusion; the uncertainties, ambiguities and in-betweens; the colours, textures and forms; the borderless rhythms, terrains and movements; the complex and relative nature of things; the potential they sustain.

The musical artists whose aesthetics have influenced me most on this album include Art of Noise, Fela Kuti, Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Ali Farka Touré, Björk, Steve Reich, Prince, Pan Sonic and the Penguin Café Orchestra.

This Bandcamp release features extended album artwork, in addition to the high quality audio download.
