The Rapture

StartFragmentIn 2006 I released Ra. The album was really an exercise in writing to film and I was never sure how it would be received as an album in its own right.

At the time I was doing a lot of soundtrack-type material and tv work and I wanted to do an album in that kind of style. To my surprise it was received very well - I was astonished! Over the years a few people have asked if I’d ever do a follow- up. I was never sure. It was really only meant as a one- off. However, in the last couple of years I have been drawn once again to this kind of writing ( I still write for music libraries doing soundtrack work). The only problem I had was the theme. Enter ‘ The Rapture’. I’m doing a lot of reading and researching for inspiration and I’m getting close to sketching out ideas for the project. Writing ‘ Ra’ was a wonderful and challenging journey. I’m very much looking forward to getting to work on the new one!EndFragment
