It's been a long time coming but I've finally gotten a glimpse over the horizon. After years of putting my life and blood into this music and story it's almost ready to go out into the world. It hasn't been an easy road and you wouldn't believe the hurdles I've had to jump to get to this point. Overcoming these hurdles has created a huge sense of achievement.
I've just received the masters of the music from my engineer in London and I'm preparing to send them out for duplication. I've finished designing the album artwork which you're seeing before anyone else, and I'm ready to take the music on the road for an indefinite period. This fall I'll be finishing the radio theatre version and in 2016 developing a psychedelic shadow-puppet show. I'll be travelling far and wide and I hope to make it to your neck of the woods eventually. However, you may not know that there is more to this adventure than just the music.
While the tour will take me through major cities, I'm literally headed into the wilderness to learn what true sustainability looks like. My wife, Samantha and I will be doing jungle survival workshops in the Philippines and we'll be sharing the music in farm and jungle communities in Australia and Fiji while we learn how to provide for ourselves. We'll take what skills and knowledge we've accumulated to our own small plot of land on Koro island, Fiji. Here we'll have to survive completely off the land and off the grid using what skills and resources we can manage to pull together.
In the meantime I'd like to give you a sneak preview of The Wilderness. Please take a listen and tell me what you think. I'm always happy to hear your thoughts and feelings about my songs!
Buckle up and enjoy the ride, I'm happy to have you along.
