about

The Black Elk group worked as a duet, trio, quartet and quintet between 2012 and 2015. Ultimately we produced one complete album 'Sparks', and a series of 'Sketches' to help fund a Japan tour.

'Sketches I' is the base of what Black Elk was to become as I tried to rework Danny's cello pieces into longform ethereal layers of swirling ambient music. I always loved this work and felt that 'Sparks' edited things down with too little of Danny coming through that album for my liking in years since, even if the short form of the pieces on 'Sparks' worked really well. However, it ultimately formed the feel and tone of 'Faintly Recollected' years later which felt like a real high point in all of our random work and performances together over the years.
