Tunng recently made the stubs of their song “Hustle” available via Soundcloud, so I decided to join in the fun and do a mix. I first saw Tunng at one of the excellent “Fistful of Folk” twisted folk festivals 2 or 3 years ago, and like many people was immediately grabbed by their harmonies, acoustic/classical guitar duets and electronic percussive backings. At times they created something of a wall of sound that you don’t normally associate with that genre, and they were without doubt the standout act.

.. and here’s the real deal in action, with the video for the single.

Wrapped up in your own thoughts, walking alone at night, wondering where you’re really going. Thoughts and memories that haunt and comfort.

“Whats, what’s your, er, plan?”
“My plan? I haven’t got one”

Title track of my latest EP, this is an overtly symphonic piece in which I had a lot of fun working with the Miroslav orchestra brass and choir samples, and slipped in a snippet of dialogue recorded on a mobile phone while out and about.

A couple of people have commented that this track reminds them of Phillip Glass’s soundtrack to Koyaanisqatsi, which wasn’t the original intent but I’m not complaining about the comparison. It’s got some of that rousing feeling and was in fact party inspired by a film in the first place, though primarily for the piano playing - The Beat That My Heart Skipped / De battre mon cœur s’est arrêté

You can download this track for free here, along with the rest of The Drift EP

This piece is based on some morphing textures on an electric guitar, a simple looped acoustic guitar motif, and viola. This is the longer version of what was originally a 40 seconds intro track
