My father-in-law called me up this past winter to say he'd seen an unwanted electric organ balanced on top of a car in mechanic's garage. We wrestled it into the back of a van and brought it home where it began to do some pretty strange things. When I first turned it on, it poured out smoke and then it played a tune after being turned off and unplugged! My good friend and sound engineer James Welch was up in Shropshire doing some live recording around this time and popped over to have a play on the said Yamaha Electone Organ. After experimenting with different settings, James found the arpeggiator, which I loved the sound of. I got to work, recording the gorgeous analogue sounds of the electric organ a few days later and began working on the accompaniment. The track started to really flow and at this point I called on Faith Brackenbury to record string parts for the track, I’d written. During this time, I was also producing and recording an album for TB Ward called ‘Lamblion’ (out later this year). Around this time, he showed me his wire paintings, one of which featured on the cover of my latest single Unless. As we were working together, I wanted to show the creative processes that Tim used to create his art work on location at his rural studio. It felt that we were both creating work in response to the sudden onset of spring and filmed him in his studio creating the piece called ‘The Daffodil’, which now features as the cover of this release. I felt there was a accidental synergy between the footage of TB Ward's creative process and the audio. The video tells, in part, the story of the inspiration for the music - the fullness and abundance of spring that suddenly arrives, like that moment the idea for a new piece bursts forth out of nowhere.
