Welcome!
“My music is intended to alter your consciousness, to tap into a timeless realm of ecstatic inspiration. I’m convinced of the power of music to astonish us, to transport us to worlds that we can’t see (or even imagine) and, ultimately, to make us more truly ourselves. Music, for me, is soul-shaking, ritual, deepcore magic – and transcendent play. I hope you enjoy the music!”
Greg Moorcroft, Composer & Musician

Be sure to catch these before they're gone. They stand up to repeat listening as surely as the upcoming CD will. An extra bonus: righteous explanatory notes compiled by @Gletara - one for each episode. #josquin500
