about

Well...looks like I've made a record...

This is something I've been working towards for a long time; it's taken many hypothetical forms, but eventually it's arrived in the form of this little remotely-recorded album, comprising a handful of original tunes written over the last 3 or 4 years. Naturally, the original intention would have been to record live, but 'way back in January that still seemed a bit of a reach, so I decided to do it like this instead, and see if anyone notices the difference.

Thanks to Nico, Zoltan, and Chief for their equal amounts craft & graft (as well as to Will Hobson and James Allen for their superlative work on "Cabin" - and to James for mastering!), and to Ed Allen in his newly-established Green Room for the piano recording (and guitar solo on "Ghost"). Wouldn't be nothin' without them.

Enjoy, all!

"I really like ['As We Find It']. It's steady, it's absorbing. Kinda takes you on a journey." - Deb Grant, Jazz FM

I do not understand jazz or why I love the work of Matthew Halsall and the Gondwana Muscicians so much, but … oh boy … this really connects to me in a way I have hardly ever experienced with any other music … as if theres a direct cable from my heart to this album … Benjamin

I don't know his complete work but up to now, this is my favorite album by Adam Scrimshire. Excellently produced (which is a granted with him), great songs and fantastic guest list. Jazz/nu jazz, soul, electronica, chill beats, cinematic, all those tags given apply. Carsten Pieper
