It’s hard to know what to say when it’s the release day of a new album. So much time and work and thought and joy and pain goes into the process, and then I need to sum it up in a sentence somehow. All I can say is, I put everything I had into this one, and tried to be as musically honest as I could, I hope some of the ideas and feelings resonate with you.

As with my other releases of recent years I’ve used a visually related theme and collaborated with visual artists for every track to tell the overall story. I wanted to try and link this theme into my process of creating the album as closely as I could. So I chose a theme of the mind, and spent the first month of the project in total isolation with no outside contact, in order to look inwards for what creates us, and me, to provide content for the music and visuals.

I named the album “one hundred billion sparks” after the one hundred billion neurons in our heads, and their act of “sparking” to create our experiences. It seemed a nice way to visually summarise what the project was about, and lent itself to the album artwork form, beautiful delivered by Tyler Hobbs with his countless networked fragments.

The individual chapters of the story stray pretty far from the usual ideas around brains, but that’s way too much info to include here, so we’ve made a little website summarising the whole project, which will be updated with each music video as they’re released.

So that’s it, I hope you find some music or ideas in there which you enjoy, and I’ll be touring the new album AV show in 270 surround visual format wherever possible, so hopefully catch you at one of those gigs sometime soon.
