Ocean in a Bottle - two new releases















Over this year, Ocean in a bottle my ambient / piano / drone project has been burrowing deeper and deeper into the theme of outer space and slowly over time touching on all of the planets, moons and everything that makes it such a beautiful place to look at.

One of my favourite planets growing up was Saturn, the 6th planet in our solar system and the sings which cover in a stunning beauty of which then made sense to create the first album in this sequence after a ever increasing number of singles / Eps over the past nine months or so.

Released by Persistent Vegetative State Records on 31st July 2019, the two track album can be downloaded / streamed for free here https://persistentvegetativestaterecords.bandcamp.com/album/on-saturns-wings

On Saturn's Wings’ contains two long, epic ambient drones spinning into a more spiralling, freer form and carries its drones across an imaginary journey between beauty and a paradox of what it is seen and what is not seen.

My second release within the space of a few days has come out on the excellent Silbermedia with a piece called 'Birds on the Roof with a bad throat at Manchester Victoria train station just before the moon rises'.

In contrast to 'On Saturn's Wings' this is a strict field recording (of course with a few edits if you listen carefully) recorded at Manchester Victoria Train Station inbetween train journeys going home from work. In contrast to 'On Saturn's Wings', this is a totally different form but something quite different to do, and something that was great fun exploring and I am pleased to announce is part of Silbermedia's August series of Field Recordings. This can be downloaded for free / streamed from:
