Colin Consterdine has had a 30 year career as a musician and producer. He has spent most of that time hiding behind pseudonyms. Now for the first time he is releasing a solo album in his own name. Over the last 3 decades he has helped to build two well respected and established bands, Zion Train and Sendelica. Having been a full time member of both bands, playing an integral part in and producing 7 albums for each band, he has finally ventured out on his own.
Now the time has come to create music on his own terms, outside of the restrictions of band composition. The first fruits of that is the album ‘Comfort & Curiosity’.
“I have been creating contemplative and meditative pieces alongside the creation of recent ‘Electronic Organism’ album. Most of these were created in the Sunshine Heart Studios which I have been putting together for my partner Rowena Sunshine Harte. In my mind, each piece is a Cosmic Music Box, floating through the Cosmic Oneness chiming it’s melody into the Infinite. I create them ‘automatically’, writing without thought, until a vignette appears, then I sculpt that into the final mechanised iteration of the piece.Hopefully, they are both playful and deep, that’s my intention.They work for me, which is the best that I can hope for.”
