Komorebi (木漏れ日) is a poetic Japanese word that describes sunlight filtering through the canopy of trees. This is an album of hope that reflects on topics such as estrangement, a humanity drunk at the wheel with the distraction of technology, the tragic life of the world’s first supermodel, and a ballad of a Stuntwoman, St. Valentine using Tinder.

Komorebi plays with a range of different perspectives in what feels like a rapidly changing world.  Whether that is with a wry, “if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry” twist, a melodramatic analogy to a Greek tragedy or a facetious plea to settle for a life of pretence.

I recorded the album in my home studio ‘The Numbers Station’ with some guest appearances by friends and family. While the writing and recording of the album was used to iron out some of life’s wrinkles, it also ended up being an exciting technical process. With the assistance of the brilliantly talented engineer Luke Conlon, this album was mixed in a way that further equipped and informed me for future recording projects. Which was an amazingly liberating experience.
