XPLRR Series
XPLRR has it's roots in Season Two of the podcast. I wanted to explore some new sounds and approaches, because change and experiment are core to me staying interested in what I'm doing.

Following on from finding the way, I set up Strange Textures as a podcast and started to record live once a week. I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to share some edited highlights - like one of my favourite comedy podcasts (Superego), this is improvised, analysed and brought to you whenever we can bring it to you. It feels indulgent, but season 1 is very much me being focussed on improvised ambient and experimental guitar and this series distils that experience into some of my best work so far.
