New album "A Summer, Archived" out September 1; 'Francis Bowmore' livestream archive

Hi everyone.
It’s been a while since there was a news update here, so I thought I’d send one out into the ether.

As is the case with the entire world, times have been pretty unpredictable. The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that nearly all hopes of live performance have been decimated, but I’ve also had the opportunity to partake in a few musical ventures during the year.

The first of these is a duo album with Michiru Aoyama, due for release on September 1 on the Mango Alley Label. This record has been in production for over a year and was made entirely long distance, so I’m very much looking forward to releasing it into the wild.

In July I teamed up with Marty Holoubek and Kei Matsumaru to perform a livestreamed gig at Velvet Sun in Tokyo. This group formed last year as Keimart, but has since been revised and renamed as Francis Bowmore.
The video archive of the gig in its entirety is free to view on Youtube.

Thank you as always for your support, and I hope to announce some more musical ventures before the year is out.
