"If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

Yes.

It does.

Here the trees will fall, and they will make their sound.

Whether anyone is listening or not.

This is a place for me to share the output of the creative act. But to share without fanfare. In fact, to share without care, but still to dare to share...

While you are welcome in this forest, the trees will make their sound whether you are here or not. An audience here is optional, not required.

In fact, while the trees falling will make their sound, it's the onlookers who are silent — there's no comments section, no contact form, no "community". There's no stream counts, no view counts. Releases will not be promoted on social media.

Listen, or view, or don't. I won't know either way. But I'll continue releasing stuff irrespective.

Why? Because the endless cycle of posting, promoting, and asking to be heard drains the creative act and all too often, gives nothing in return. This place will be an alternative. A place to create and to publish - without being beholden to likes and follows and saves.

So. To share without fanfare. And let the trees fall where they may.

Falling Trees - the new stuff, ready to be enjoyed/ignored.

Past Works - the back catalogue, Stephen Ellis, The Affair, old stories and photos.

WIP - the Work In Progress - stuff in the midst of creation.
