A very small collection of some rough sketches for some post-tonal compositions. Never quite sure looking back over these which of the tracks they were for on my album Eleventh Hour but they’re certainly all in the music somewhere!

A quiet railway running through the #Scottish hills inspired me to write some music that played around with the experiences of travelling through my country.

One of my favourite pieces is titles Bring Deeps. I took the #petermaxwelldavis song Farewell to Stromness and analysed the pitch content which I then used as the building blocks for my own composition. If you know the song well you can hear the original melody make a reprise at the very end. #music

My debut album, Eleventh Hour, featured tracks that were all in some way tied to locations within the Orkney Islands. You can listen to the whole album via the link below.

Spending time in the highlands of Scotland is always good for the creative soul. #scotland #photography #winter #mountains
