I am so beyond honoured to be featured on the @citiesandmemory.bsky.social Sounds of the Year 2025 album with my track Apple Blossom. There have been so many wonderful submissions so I can imagine what a hard choice it was to make. Pre-order here! citiesandmemory.bandcamp.com/album/sounds...

Stoked to have my piece “Ember” included in @citiesandmemory.bsky.social Sounds of the Year compilation. I had a blast working on the piece based around an inspiring field recording from Rafael Diogo. An amazing collection of artists and pieces. citiesandmemory.bandcamp.com/album/sounds...
