Hey Friends,

Today is the day! I’m so proud of my new record, 'The Eternal Now', and the journey I’ve been on over the last two years in shaping this record to be my most expansive and adventurous release to date.

The process has been one of collaboration and creativity with an attention to detail that has been a wonderful learning curve for me. Change the way you work and you’ll get a different result!

So that’s what I did with my co-producer Matthew Halsall and a host of new sounds, textures and people that we have managed to blend together.

Its ready when it’s ready and not a moment before!

So I hope you enjoy the depth and the reach of this record and I hope it’s still being played in 20 years time!

Chip 🎧
