I’ve made a compilation of tracks from A Marble Calm available digitally for the first time on iTunes<\/a>, Apple Music<\/a>, Spotify<\/a> and most other digital channels.<\/p>\n

The album is probably the most ‘me’ of any of my projects and blends textural instrumentals and drifting songs, drawing inspiration from the ambient songwriting of Brian Eno, No-Man and David Sylvian, contemporary classical composers Arvo Part, Gorecki and Taverner as well as the more spacious elements of ECM Jazz.<\/p>\n

1. Another World (featuring Tim Bowness)
\n2. Surfacing
\n3. Mississippi (featuring Steve Adey and Theo Travis) [A Marble Calm Remix 2016]
\n4. The Conquer and Divide (featuring Tim Bowness)
\n5. Blue Turns to Grey (2016 version with Theo Travis)
\n6. After the Flight (previously unreleased)
\n7. Submerging<\/p>\n

Four tracks are taken from the 2004 debut Surfacing, including two songs with No-Man vocalist Tim Bowness. I think they are two of our most distinctive collaborations.<\/p>\n

The centrepiece of the album is the 24 minute Blue Turns to Grey, the title track that formed the first side of a limited vinyl release by Tonefloat in 2007. The sublimely talented Theo Travis has since contributed flute to both this and a reworked version of Steve Adey’s Mississippi.<\/p>\n

The compilation includes one previous unreleased song, After the Flight, recorded on and off over the last decade. <\/p>\n

Copies of the 2004 CD release Surfacing are still available from Burning Shed<\/a>.<\/p>\n
