about

'The word saudade means “a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one cares for and/or loves. It often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never be had again.”
Granula Sightings is the musical equivalent of saudade, with its unique marriage of chocolatey saxophones and deep synth drones. It is the memory of watching the stars as a child with your father. The happiness of a time gone by, the sadness knowing it will never happen again. A beautiful, longing song.'

- Thomas Hawtin, Erotic Secrets of Pompeii

Granular Sightings features my amazing new collaborator friend, Stef Haynes on woodwind.

The artwork is from a photo of my grandparents' back garden from the early 90s. I thought it had a kind of mystical ambience to it and I liked the imperfections.
