Having harboured aspirations of being a jazz saxophonist, studying improvisation at school and university, it was the textural pop of acts such as Panda Bear and The Books that set him off track. Taking an interest in songwriting, Edward began revisiting instruments learnt earlier in his life, such as the guitar and piano as well as running a choir. Gradually, through exploring composition over playing, music making became more laptop focused, and the saxophone became a sampling tool rather than the sole outlet for musical expression. This is reflected in the first single, and title track from the EP ‘Braver’ to be released on ZERO THROUGH NINE. Edward has spent a lot of time playing as part of different instrumental ensembles, but more recently, his music making has been production focused. It was after escaping to Berlin in 2012 when this idea really took over. In 2013 Edward wrote/recorded/mixed and released This City, featuring fellow Berlin dweller, Phia, and Hose Rock Love
