Track Notes
"Hypnotic"
Captures the mesmerising rhythm of everyday machinery, drawing inspiration from the repetitive sounds of a (sampled) paint filler and capping machine. With its trance-like beat, the song transports listeners into a hypnotic state, where the rhythmic pulse lingers long after the workday ends.
Pike River:
Originally, Pike River was written for my Father.
"Pike River" is a heartfelt tribute to my father, inspired by his love for a classical guitar piece he called the "water song." He asked for a "water song" to be played at his funeral; this Pike River song unexpectedly emerged precisely one year after his passing. With its poignant melody, "Pike River" captures the essence of his memory and legacy.
"Can You Hear Me Now? - Album Mix"
is a heartfelt tribute to my father, reflecting on the profound connection we shared through daily phone calls during his final years. As I reworked this longer version from the single mix, I aimed to capture the depth of emotion and longing that defined our bond.
Walk on the Water: (Album Mix)
This version of Walk on the Water has completely new vocals from the single version.
It has been remixed and remastered for the album Tomorrow's Destiny.
A song is about corporate bullying in the workplace: believe in yourself and trust your inner compass.
Don't let the bastards get you down!
Tomorrow's Destiny"
is a poignant reflection on the elusive nature of the future. I penned this song at 18, promising myself to complete it one day, life's ups and downs kept getting in the way. The album cover, featuring a photo of me outside my house where I wrote the song, holds personal significance, while the NESC logo sketched during my college days adorns the back—a nostalgic touchstone to my journey.
Lockdown [Album Mix]
"Lockdown [Album Mix]" delves into the frantic atmosphere of a lockdown, portraying the chaos and urgency people experience, including panic-buying essentials like toilet paper. This album version has undergone a complete transformation, featuring reworked vocals, guitars, and samples, resulting in a darker and heavier rendition that captures the intensity of the subject matter.
Come into the Room:
FOMO -
The Fear of missing out.
This song has been brewing within me for quite some time; it was a struggle to bring it to completion. Its inspiration struck while I was in Dubai, standing atop the observation deck of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. As I soaked in the moment, a group of girls entered, their chatter filling the air. They seemed like characters straight out of a Kardashian episode, absorbed in taking selfies without sparing a glance at the breathtaking view behind them. It was a stark reminder of the paradox of our social media age – capturing moments to share, yet missing out on experiencing them authentically.
