“So, there’s two songs I’m working on. One is with the Norwegian singer Aurora, who’s one of the most extraordinary people I’ve ever met. Absolutely original human being. You just think: Who designed her? She’s such a one-off. Wonderful person. So, we took one of her songs. I think … yes, I’m remembering the title, because it had another title which I’m getting mixed up with. But it’s called now ‘A Soul with No King’. It’s a beautiful song. And so what we’ve done with that song is we’ve made a sort of … it’s as though she’s walking through a forest, and then we’ve made a clearing, a kind of sonic clearing in the forest, and we’ve inhabited that with Norwegian birds and her voice. I think it’s a really lovely result.”

I put out a new chill, dreamy instrumental, inspired by ancient mythology, Sappho of Lesbos, and the swirling emotions of limerance and fear when new love calls.
This is from a play called Nuit for which I am composing a soundtrack, a really cool combon of hilarious skits and breathtaking dance choreo. This is written for a dance between two Lesbian characters, a pivotal and tender moment where they realize their unspoken longing. Hope some of you can see it in Montreal this summer, seeing it with my partial soundtrack in the fall was one of my proudest musical moments 🎵🎶🎶
I know this isn't really a single, but I was excited to share and maybe it can be the soundtrack to your little moments. For fans of Air, Daft Punk, Wendy Carlos, Bowie, UNKLE, Foxes in Fiction, Brian Eno, Kate Bush, Locate S1, and more 💖💖💖
