Acoustic and electric guitars feature throughout along with electronic instruments and strong rhythms which combine to create a lush, vibrant and powerful sound. World flavours come together with dance, progressive rock, jazz and ambient influences to produce music that explores an eclectic, layered mix of different styles and atmospheres while also maintaining its own strong identity. Much of the music has a ‘film-score’ feel and some of the pieces have an ‘epic’ quality.
Each piece has a tentatively suggested theme, while also leaving plenty of room for the listener to respond to the music in their own unique way. Some of the ideas for the pieces come from world events and the environment, love, the pursuit of excellence and Jungian psychology. The album as a whole is a tapestry of different musical styles and philosophical explorations and has the feeling of a journey or a story. The title, 'Head Room' suggests a mental space, a state of mind, an inner world full of archetypal images and themes which is what the music is all about.
The album was mastered by Bob Katz at Digital Domain. Bob is a great mastering engineer who approached the project with sensitivity and care. The artwork was created by photographer and graphic artist Barry McCabe as an elaboration and visual extension of the music, suggesting motifs, atmospheres and feelings associated with the music.
