about

Glow is the first post-documentary ukulele-based piece that I’ve put together. That’s significant in that I felt less concerned with making this sound like a ukulele, and just wanted to create a piece of music that worked.

You wouldn’t know it, but the piece took some of its original inspiration from a number of tracks on Goldfrapp’s Tales Of Us album, a record that is both luxurious and atmospheric. I was also listing to Young Marble Giants quite a bit at the time as well, and I think some of that minimalism rubbed off here (e.g. the drum machine), something reinforced by a quote from an interview with Brian Eno that I read whilst doing this:

“The path of least resistance for anyone with a lot of sound-making tools is to keep making more sounds. The path of discipline is to say: Let’s see how few we can get away with.”

So I’ve tried to subtract rather than add, keeping it simple rather than over-complicating.
