I’m delighted to announce that my debut album ‘Life Changes’ is being re-released digitally on the 8th December 2023. Originally released back in 2000 by Columbia France, it features a whole host of amazing guests. I’ll be posting some more clips and memories over the next couple of weeks. Many thanks to Johnny Chandler for making it happen, all the kind folks at Sony France, Guy Trezise my manager at the time, and Marie Gomis-Trezise who signed the album!
There’ll also be further rereleases in 2024 🤩

I’m delighted to announce that my second album, ‘Rising Son’ is available today on digital platforms. Originally released in 2005 on Bluey’s ‘Rice Records’ imprint, the record marked an important moment in my career and is a project I hold very dear to my heart. My first album ‘Life Changes’ had come out five years earlier, and in the years after, I was very busy with production and remix work, as well as writing and playing keyboards with 2 Banks of 4. Since the mid-nineties I’d built up an amazing working relationship with Bluey from Incognito, which meant that I regularly found myself at his studio, The Blue Room, writing and producing on various projects. Bluey’s son, Daniel (aka Dokta Venom) was often there too, and in 2001 I was lucky enough to work on the ‘Para:Diso’ project (a Bluey/Venom production). Dan and I shared a lot of musical influences such as David Sylvian, Johnny Marr, and Theo Parrish, so when Bluey asked if I wanted to make an album with Daniel for his label, I jumped at the chance. 

I'm very happy to be invited to perform at Rei Usui's 'Ominversal Love' EP Launch Show. I'll be performing tracks from my recent Ayota album, Sound Travelling

This show was recorded on Sunday the 9th of April 2023 with my good friend Tomokazu Hayashi in Tokyo on my recent trip to Japan.
The show is dedicated to the legendary Japanese musician, composer, and producer Ryuichi Sakamoto (坂本龍一) who passed away a week before the show was made, and is inspired by Haruomi Hosono's 'Medicine Compilation From The Quiet Lodge' album from 1993.
We hope that this show can provide some healing, and allow us to reflect on the incredible life and influence of Sakamoto san.
The photo was taken on the famous steps in Tokyo which inspired the anime 'Kimi no Na wa' (YourName, 君の名は)

Here's the tracklist:
