Current Projects

Stephen is currently working on Blue Water, a four-part ambient series tracing the journey of water through imagined glacial and post-glacial environments. Blending acoustic textures with synthetic tones, the project evokes vast, shifting spaces with a focus on transformation and flow. The first release, Blue Vessels (2024), introduced these themes through delicate layering and fluid transitions. The second instalment, Blue Currents (2025), deepens the narrative with rich sound design, gradual rhythmic development, and detailed environmental textures. Each track connects seamlessly to the next, creating a continuous, meditative listening experience.

Past Projects

Before the Blue Water series, Stephen released five full-length albums: Circuits (2020), To The Lighthouse (2019), Falling Dust (2016), Parkview (2015), and Celluloid (2014). These works combine elements of ambient, contemporary classical, and cinematic music, often weaving together piano, electronics, and field recordings. His past projects established his distinctive sound and laid the groundwork for the immersive, concept-driven approach he continues to develop today.
