learned behaviours is my first solo album, bringing together layered organic instrumentation with electronic atmospheres. The record moves between dreamy indie, psychedelic textures, driving electronic grooves and more expansive, cinematic moments.
The album grew out of looking at behaviours and patterns over the course of quite a long time, particularly the difference between how experiencing how we are seen from the outside vs what we know is happening inside.
Rather than trying to find a single meaning to wrap it all tidily up in, learned behaviours became more of an analysis for me. I exploring ideas of inner and outer perception, protection, distance and reality. Each song approaches those ideas from different angles and stories, leaving room for ambiguity and allowing the listener to connect with it in their own way.
I hope someone out there enjoys it!
