Artist picture
This is a one-man studio-based outfit which has two streams. One is to produce songs, with vocals, in a fairly conventional format, that you might expect a "real" band to play. The other is to produce instrumentals with experimental electronic sounds, the stranger the better, but hopefully still appealing. I love that virtual world full of beauty and weirdness. Perhaps that's where I'll go when I die.

Story behind the song
All true little vignettes in which I got reminded of comfort from the people in my life. I could expand but probably shouldn't. But the estuary is the Swan River in Perth, Australia. New York City is almost exactly 10,000 miles from Sydney. That oughta do.
Lyrics
Darkness spreads across the estuary below The little ferry makes its gentle way Down there somewhere there is comfort in the dark And on the river shines the light Empty railway station in the pouring rain I wait, the cold and lonely traveller And closing in a greater spirit tells the future And through the splashes shines the light From outer space To inner darkness In and of itself Until there's nothing else Brings me back to you Helps me make it through Show me that I'm here Help me disappear In New York City I'm ten thousand miles from you. A picture painted by a stranger: There's a window into shared imagination And in the night sky shines the light.
