about

four electronic pieces composed February-April 2020.

Zygmund de Somogyi - composition, production

--------------

It's around 11pm before December 3rd as I'm writing this. I wasn't intending to release this record at all, but following the premiere of two of its pieces at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in October 2021, I felt that I would be doing my work a disservice not to put it out at some point. And that some point, I guess, is in about an hour from now.

'A MIND CRASHES INTO THE SUN' is an album of four pieces, written and recorded around the time of the first COVID-19 lockdown. 'A MIND CRASHES INTO THE SUN' has been an interesting album to piece together: what started out in February - in relative normalcy - as an experiment into piano loops and virtual synthesizers turned into one of my coping mechanisms during the craziness that was March 2020. As the world quietened down around me, I felt more inclined to look inwards, toward a more solitary practice - to dive into myself, and come out the other side with a fresher perspective on music-making and creation.

This is my first foray into electronic music in any sort of way that I'm proud of, and I don't want to claim I'm treading new ground with this album, or that this is indicative of my current practice as a composer. I just felt like the time was right for this record to see the light of day.

Most of the synthesizer work was done on Helm - a wonderful virtual, cross-platform polyphonic synthesizer developed by Matt Tytel:
