about

Soft Biota is my attempt to mimic nature through synthesis, to focus in on micro-ecosystems and the hidden ecologies that pulse and thrive beneath. Picture a damp forest floor, amplified, or the limnal regions of a pond, teeming with secret life.

The images used are cyanotype impressions by Anna Atkins (ca. 1853), made by placing wet algae directly on light-sensitized paper and exposing the paper to sunlight. She described her specimens as "Flowers of the Sea".

Press:
"Along with the gorgeous textures, there’s definitely a more musical focus on this album, and dare I say it, almost actual melodies. It’s truly inspiring and heartwarming to witness an artist continually make more and more incredible work. There’s some Suzanne Ciani level modular synthesis going on here and it’s truly a thing of beauty to behold. Album of the year contender, for sure. Respect."
