Not made for the background.
Fig. 04 — Before the set, Lisbon
NOCTURNE is the late-night project of a songwriter and producer who records almost exclusively between midnight and dawn — in borrowed rooms, on a second-hand Juno, through one good microphone.
The songs are built slowly, then left alone: close-mic’d vocals, tape hiss kept in, drums that sound like someone moving furniture in the next flat. Records you put on when the house is finally quiet.
I write for the drive home, the kitchen at 3 a.m., the minute after the door closes. If a song can live in that minute, it gets to stay.
