Collaborations

I wouldn’t be anywhere near the musician I am today, if it wasn’t for collaboration. To be able to bounce ideas off of one another and create something larger than yourself. To be able to share visions with directors, producers, animators and other musicians is such an exciting feeling and honour. This page is here for me to showcase these projects, mainly that are one on one, with all the other collaborations being group based projects.

There is something quite special about two people sharing a vision and creating it together.

(Maybe it's just me)

Grinded Sun is a collaboration project formed of myself and Kent based Guitarist, Dan Wing. Meeting through friends, we share similar interests and views about the world around us and it has only been recently that we’ve finally decided to get a project in the works. Being inspired by bands like Alt J, Ben Howard, Sticky Fingers and John Mayer, we’ve been writing fairly experimental pop / alternative material. Dan is an extremely talented guitarist and songwriter. All I have to do is put a mic in front of him and within the next few minutes we have enough material to write an EP (I’m not joking). It’s a nice change for me to step back and take a different role compared to my other projects. Being a producer, arranger and a contributor in the song writing process has helped me be creative in new and exciting ways.

LSDJ (ft. Sova Audio)

As soon as I became confident enough in my own abilities as a producer, I desperately wanted to create something larger than the music itself. Being a composer for film and other types of media fuelled a need, but I wanted to work on something from the ground up and be a part of every step of the process. This became possible with my very dear friend and Visual Artist, Dropzone. Who has created merchandise, music videos and branding for a numerous amount of projects that I have been fortunate enough to work on. With both of us sharing a similar vision, my electronic alias (Project 19) and Dropzone formed the partnership of LSDJ.

We are currently working on two projects that both come in the form of Audio-Visual pieces. There are also huge plans to expand on these pieces through collaboration with the immersive audio company, Sova Audio. The plans have been unfortunately delayed due to the current climate of COVID-19 but when it is over, we plan to create a 360 degree immersive experience.
