Hi there, I hope that you are keeping well in these really weird times. I have a couple of things to fill you in on today, one being the release day of the debut EP (!!!) and the other being my foray into sound design for visual artists/animators etc.
First of all, the EP!
To think that nearly two years ago I'd completely given up on music and was ready to move on to other things in life. No juice, no inspiration, no desire to even LISTEN to music. It was a challenging couple of years to have this thing that had given me so much joy just not be in my life anymore, but I realise it was a necessary death in order to allow me more space to come back to the music in a more authentic way.
And with the end of the "Whitebear" project marked by "The Odssey Pt. II", the day is finally here to begin anew. I'm so proud of these tracks and really excited with the direction the music is taking me. I feel more creative and inspired than ever, fuelled by new music and experiences and people, and am proud to give you the debut EP of "FORM NULL".
Thank you to my family, friends as well as my students and supporters on Patreon, who have played a big part in giving me a purpose again, one that exists outside of simply creating music for myself.
Sam Fallon, Adam Nylander, Jesper Skovgaard, Derek, MIckey Space, N'Gwa, Nick Turello, Chuck Larson, Tom Halloran, invidia, Ian Greene, Dark Rest, mdmx, Eartha Harris, Zachary Ford, Kyle Rudd, Lee Reid, Jack Mohajer, Darren Song, Joshua Smeeton, hdx, Mick and Sean McLaren.
The Bandcamp link is now LIVE, and they are waiving their fees from midnight to midnight Pacific Time on Dec 4- so everyone who purchases the EP these next couple of days will receive a bonus track (otherwise only available to patrons on Patreon)!
If you would like the EP but cannot afford it feel free to shoot me a personal message and I will send you a download code. If my music has moved you in the past, or if this is something that resonates with you today, I would greatly appreciate any re-shares to get the music to as many ears as possible!

And now the new creative project!
I've recently started doing commission work as well as collaborating with an online VR gallery called CopyPlanet- still in its infancy, born out of a desire to find new ways to display art- created by and large by the current global situation that has created a void not only in the music scene but it seems the art scene as well. You can find my slowly growing portfolio of works on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/form.null/ - feel free to check it out and hit me up if you would like custom soundscapes for your animations/videos/projects etc.
Parting notes
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of this constantly shifting journey that is music, I don't know where I will be in one week, one month or one year from now, but I hope that music will continue to play a role in it and I hope you do too! Much love, and I hope you are taking care of yourself now more than ever.
All the best,
Arthur
