Travelogue 2014: A dozen noteworthy EPs

Thank you to Stationary Travels for including 'Adrift' in their noteworthy EPs of 2014.

"This group features Jon Hopkins “decelerated, dreamlike re-imaginings” of tracks from his acclaimed “Immunity” album; lush and mellifluous ambient electronica from Northcape; the gently cinematic contemplations of Steve Gibbs, and an abstract re-imagining of a mythic story by reel-to-reel wizard Tomonari nozaki."

Deerz

My music appears in this video for Russian clothing company, Deerz.

The film tells the story of the family run business, that first began by producing handmade sweaters in the 1980’s for family members and friends in North Russia, who were exposed to a frozen climate 280 days a year. The company has now developed and the video shows their new factory where their business now runs from.
