In “Morphic Resonance”, Ben Neill doesn’t just compose a track. He constructs an alternate physics for music itself. The piece, named after biologist Rupert Sheldrake’s controversial theory that memory exists in nature through morphic fields, unfolds like a living system.
It’s cyclical, reactive and quietly radical. It’s not a song you hear once and remember – it’s one that seems to remember you. Continue reading

It’s not just the texture in sounds, although there is a distinct clarity here, with a clean mix, tasteful instrumentation and a deep emotional vibe — it’s the way Collins writes.
