Chapter 06 of 13 | Songs and stories

Songs, stories and comedy

Love songs, island songs, ambitious futures and a bit of mischief. I release music as i C. infinity, write romantic adventures and enjoy seeing how much a good laugh can get across.

A Protopian Gambit cover with the i C. infinity ring, a glowing chess piece and a hand above Australia — A Protopian Gambit. The wager is that imagination can become practical care.

Some ideas come out better as songs. There’s room for affection, frustration, desire and ridiculous possibilities, and room to enjoy them without needing to read all the research first.

The albums collected here are Starseed Code, A Protopian Gambit and Straddie Fun. Alongside them are the romantic adventures of Tiggy Bestmann and Australian Sire, comedy experiments with Loose Goose, and Cosmic Nexus, which brings together my interests in travel, mystery and film.

Three albums

My music moves between love, island life, public questions and imagined futures.
