about

It has been ten years since my New Voices commission at Celtic Connections (Glasgow), and my subsequent debut solo release - 'String Theory' - was recorded that same year. The New Voices series is a great launch pad for new composers with a background in folk and traditional music.

I have changed much over the past ten years, as has my approach to music making, and so I wondered if it might be interesting to put together a compilation spanning the last decade of my solo output.

I have included something from each of my solo albums, as well as some single releases, and even a previously unreleased live track recorded back in January 2010. All the tracks here are my own compositions.

This collection may be of interest to those who have only heard some of my more recent output, and maybe also to those who heard the early work, but haven't kept up with all my other releases over the years. Hopefully too there is a noticeable sonic arc - a development of my sound over time - although the track listing isn't chronological!

By adding this compilation to your collection, you will help me begin work on the next ten years of music making and support my continued development as musician/composer, and for that I thank you very much.
