Name: Pleiades
Duration: P00H06M33S
Description: Relaxed, chilled track--originally played it with 'fireweb', 6 piece, rocking, all women's band - I kept my basic melody line and Petra Scmidt's lovely plucked drone, and then built it up around that to arrive at this final version that I can live loop on stage.

This is a landmark album for me as it is my first solo one. I've composed, arranged and performed all the tracks, and have faithfully reproduced in the studio the same arrangements I can live loop with pedals, and play on stage. Featuring 11 tracks, nearly an hour of music.

Stunning cover photograph capturing "a magnificent astronomical spectacle in the Pleiades as a moving cluster of stars encountered an isolated molecular cloud."

Their home's in the sky, their home's in the sky
For ever and ever
