When I started the Clowder project, 2 years ago (almost) to the day, I was in a very different place, both geographically and psychologically. I was moving house which was incredibly stressful, and I was facing down a very hardcore encounter with the black dog. A lot of the more significant moments in my life have been coloured by a darkness, but i've learned that seeking the positive in the negative is not always a futile task. Clowder took me away from what I was worrying about and became an engaging artistic endeavour; something which forced me to look through a catalogue of music and experiment with turning it all inside out and re-contextualising it.
And so I find myself 2 years older and thankfully in better spirits. The same stresses and issues which surrounded me in Oct 2022 are still there, but the balance is looking a little fairer.
It's a great time of the year to start looking up at the sky - lots of changes, lots of deep colours, lots of inspiration. Get lost in the loops.
