Spore Light

An instrumental concept album that follows one day of light moving through a fictional sunlit fungi forest, from grey pre-dawn up through the full green blaze of noon and back down to a glowing dusk. Glacial post-rock chamber music with felt piano at the root, a cello-bowed guitar singing like a reed organ, and wordless open-vowel voices carried as the lead. The whole record is one long tectonic breath: stillness climbing to radiance at High Noon, then breathing out to a quiet, warmer answer of the opening at dusk.

The Coral Cartographers

An instrumental concept album that swims a single day up through a coral reef, from the dim blue dawn on the sea floor toward blazing noon at the surface. Each track is a life-form or a moment of interdependence (the reef-building coral, the cleaner and its client, the clownfish and the anemone, the curious octopus, the great synchronised spawning), told entirely through wordless open-vowel syllables and iridescent, teeming arrangement. The arc rises steadily toward the light: curious, uplifting, entrancing.
