is unique! It’s a fully immersive album, created purely for headphone consumption. It was recorded and mixed using Sennheiser’s ground-breaking AMBEO binaural sound technology. This enabled me to record and place sound anywhere within a 360-degree space with full awareness of height and depth positioning. This is essentially how the human ear naturally processes sound. Stereo is only a third of the audio picture. This is surround sound for headphones!
Over the last 18 months, I’ve travelled the world and recorded sounds in various locations on the planet. Marrakech, Mexico, New York, LA, India, Cannes, Barcelona, Brazil, Jamaica and London. In each of the destinations, I went into the cities, towns and villages and recorded environments and the local inhabitants. Passing through crowds of people, in fleeting moments of time, I captured the drama, comedy and sometimes the irony of real life as it unfolded.
Preachers, Dealers, Gangsters, Snake Charmers, Prophets, Free Thinkers, Buskers, Blaggers and the Innocent Bystander. A cast of thousands shape the script and scenes that set the drama and tone. Befitting immersive soundtracks deliver the moods and flavours. Add these all into the melting pot and you’ve got “Real Life”.

A long-player made in truly unique circumstances and the first of its kind. A concept album in its purest form, this cinematic trip was written and recorded during my daily commute on the train journey from London Victoria to East Grinstead and back over the course of a year.
Armed with a laptop, small keyboard and a good pair of headphones, I transformed the train into my recording studio, fusing soundtrack-esque electronica with traditional organic instruments, poetry and sound design.
My inspiration for the soundtrack was the changing landscape I was travelling through, from the industrial decay of south London to the stunning countryside of West Sussex. “Over one year I wrote twelve tracks, one for each stop on the line, evolving from harder industrial electronica, to blissful ambience as the album progressed and the journey neared its end.
