Thread is a collection of nine improvised pieces by  and Robert Fripp (guitar, soundscapes) and myself. It was recorded at DGM Soundworld by David Singleton, with later editing/mixing and mastering courtesy of Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree).

 The collaboration has yielded a sequence of recordings that I think avoid many of the clichés routinely associated with terms such as "ambient" and "improvised", while encompassing the core elements of both forms of music. The resulting hybrid defies easy categorisation or pigeon-holing content instead to occupy its own musical space.

 The improvisational core of the music gives the performances space to breathe allowing for a sense of movement and change often lacking in the glut of pre-programmed ambient music in the marketplace. The overall sound is expansive and inviting for the listener,  Unfashionably, perhaps, in an era where music is often portrayed as ephemeral or disposable, I hope it is an album that rewards repeated listening, revealing new depths with each play.
