Kia ora,

You’ve probably landed on this site via a search for my name or perhaps you encountered me during my singer-songwriter phase. Here’s what has happened in the past few years.

– My focus for original music is now with Beacon Bloom – ethereal, genre-fluid, vocal driven electronic music. This is a project I’ve been trying to realise for years now, and I’m very satisfied with our successes so far. Check it out on youtube spotify soundcloud

– In 2017 I started a podcast which as of this post has 50 episodes. Topics covered include consciousness, psychology, economics, space travel, psychedelics, meme theory, music, sexuality & buddhism with experts from Harvard, Stanford & Oxford, politicians, musicians, scientists, writers and mavericks. Check it out here or search The Good Timeline on your favourite podcast platform.

– I still do acoustic gigs weddings, events etc. If you’d like to book me you can contact me here

If you’d like to contact me for any other reason get me at thegoodtimeline at gmail dot com

Hey all. I recently started a new project, which is my new original music band project and a podcast among other things. This will be the focus of my attention for the foreseeable future, and therefore this page will be rather static.  Check below if you’re curious 😉

It’s been a while since I wrote an update, so here it is:
I’ve been back in NZ Since November and have been gigging, writing and working on the new project, as well as recording some podcasts which will also be coming out with the new project 🙂
I head into the studio in 2 weeks time, so very soon there will be brand new music and a brand new project.

Here are some snaps from some shows over the past months:

Tomorrow I hit the road to the Netherlands.

Physical copies of the EP are now available and I’ll have them with me at all the shows 🙂
Below are some pictures from the last couple of shows at OLGA and OFEN BAR.

 

 

So finally, here is some new music!

These are some songs made between the Funkhaus, Brian’s place and my little forest studio in the north of Berlin over the past few years.

Big big thanks to Brian Cares, Yotam Weiss, Gilad Gur, Michael De la Fontaine (all performing on “Melt), Maik Antrack, Daniel Tourgeman, Joseph Thompson and Inbal Gordon all very talented people with fantastic projects of their own and all of who played invaluable roles in the EP.

Listen/purchase here. You can also hear it on Soundcloud.

TOUR DATES have also been updated. Here’s the latest.

This last week has been filled with recording, writing performing and rooftop jamming.
My first Berlin gig of the year was at Biergarten am FAF and was super nice.
Pics below…

So I’m back living in the secluded forests of North Berlin.

Much recording, writing, performing and jamming has been done. I’m currently preparing for a big trip throughout Europe and a release of a CD and live video. Keep an eye out.. 😉

 

So I arrived safely back in NZ via Tokyo just in time to swap the Berlin winter for a Christchurch spring. Things are a lot quieter here…

I spent time in Holland with some friends and played a few shows as well as writing a new tune and a chorus for an older track.
The Germany tour with Joseph and Maia was incredible, we played some beautifully intimate shows, met plenty of new friends both on the street and in the venues and discovered a bunch of places throughout Germany. My friend Royce and I then moved on south through Austria to Croatia which was gorgeous and serene.

Some freshly recorded tracks from the new project are now currently in post production. We are looking at filming a video for one of the songs here in NZ.

I’m now back into writing mode for the Berlin project and for NZ based project Voice. The quietness of Christchurch is actually quite refreshing. Some pictures from the past few months below..
