AURA

Aura

Aura is a short album of abstract and ambient atmospheres, with some very textured, organic music. Aura is music for reflection. After working with loops and a lot of rhythm on The Light Dreams II, I wanted to try something in contrast. The ‘dream’ tracks had proven interesting and full of potential, so I wanted to explore a more atmospheric, minimalistic approach. As a result, the music of Aura is quite abstract. I also started manipulating sounds and playing with the GarageBand presets a little more with this album, and I feel that this was where I really started to find my own “sound”.

A walk by the sea as the sun sets. The sunlight tearing through dark clouds, after a storm. Life at the bottom of the ocean. Old memories - so close, yet so far. Llying in the middle of a large field, on a summer’s day. Looking up at the sky, and picking up scents of freshly cut grass and creosote, blowing past in the cool breeze. Peter Davison playing Doctor Who in the early 80s. An invisible breath, emanation, or radiation. A distinctive but intangible quality that seems to surround a person or thing. Time moving forward, while we yearn for the past.
