Cull Portal was an idea that came to life during Sydney’s 2nd lockdown in 2021. 

It’s an exploration of modal harmony and improvisation, extrapolated over the course of the eight tracks. It is deeply influenced by the work of Keith Jarrett, Vangelis and Terry Riley.

I set myself the task of writing something as economical as possible that slowly unfolds into larger, more complex structures. 

Everything for this album was recorded remote and is a true testament to the abilities of the performers, especially Jeremy Rose (sax) who brought so much life to the parts. 

I was lucky enough to record the original CS-80 down at MESS in Melbourne for the album.
