“EVOLVE came about through my work in spatial audio where you separate sounds into granular objects. Each sound, however small, has its own life and space. When combined a whole new textured composition evolves and emerges. Ultimately the aim is to orchestrate and unify these sounds together – along with visuals and lights in live – to create evocative and moving experiences. Some of the tracks I have been performing in live environments to experiement and give them time to literally evolve into the final released versions. Much of my process revolves around experimentation in order to innovate.”
