I mentioned in the January post that something was growing quietly in the background. I am now ready to say what it is.
My next album is called Fragile World. It will be coming out on Mighty Force Records.
I want to be careful about what I say at this stage because the album is genuinely in its early stages and I have no idea yet how long it will take to finish. What I can say is that the direction is clear and the initial material is strong, and that the Mighty Force context has given me the confidence to work on something ambitious without feeling like the ambition needs to justify itself too early.
The sound sits in the territory that defines my work: Detroit techno, deep techno, acid house, ambient electronica. But the approach feels different from Lost Cause Part Two. That album drew on material developed across many years. Fragile World is being conceived and made in a more focused period with a clearer sense of what it is trying to say from the beginning.
The title came before most of the music, which is unusual for me. Fragility is not weakness. The most fragile things are often the most beautiful and the most worth protecting. What that means specifically for the music is something I am still working out.
No release date yet. No timeline. Just the work, which is where it should start.
