Worlds Three is the third in my series of extended, ambient works designed for deep listening and mindfulness. Whilst Worlds One and Two are meditative in character, Worlds Three has emerged as darker and more menacing. Sounds evolve slowly and organically, without ever relying upon exact repetition. Though digitally mixed and mastered, all source material benefits from the richness of its analogue origins.

Originally conceived to mark the 50th anniversary of the Moon landings, Worlds has become instead a work with multiple meanings; the project, like the world we live in, turned upside down by international conflict, population displacements, climate crises, pandemics and ever more uncertain futures. It may be seen as a sonic space into which to escape, or through which to connect more holistically with who we are and what we wish to become.
