Inner Real Life

On his third solo album for Projekt, Australian ambient/drone composer the Adelaidean brings his signature stillness to bear on the subject of journeys, distance and belonging, isolation, family and home. Composed in Ireland shortly before lockdown, inspired by landscapes far from the timeless plains of South Australia, then carefully finessed and edited over the following year, INNER REAL LIFE explores shifting feelings of remove while drawing the listener into a close sonic embrace. An evolving, minimalist album in which “nothing is happening, yet everything happens,” its lusciously lowercase pulses and drones reveal layers of resonance and consonance that rest only when the final chords fade into acceptance and healing gratitude.
