Broken Saints volume 4 contains tracks from the final, climactic chapters of the Broken Saints saga – some of the most intense and powerful work in the series.

Late in 1999, I was asked by my cousin Brooke if I would be willing to contribute some music to a project he had begun, called Broken Saints. It was planned as a 24-part series, presented online, combining his writing and direction with the artistic and programming talents of two other collaborators.

At the time I was in the process of moving to Europe to pursue other musical goals, and could not work on the project full-time, so I offered him my back-catalogue of instrumental compositions; these subsequently became the core soundtrack for the first third or so of the series.

After a year or so, two things became clear to us: first, that Broken Saints had touched a nerve with a growing internet community, obviously more than ready for storytelling of the depth and scope that Brooke and company were creating; and second, that they were going to need some more music. So began a period of compositional activity which, although I was unaware of it at the time, would dominate the next few years of my creative life – and become, for the moment at least, my best-known work.

Broken Saints volume 3 continues the eerie, compelling vibe of the first two volumes (‘Passage’ and ‘A Suite Hereafter’) into the series’ darker second half…

Broken Saints is a ‘motion comic epic’ which has captured the imagination of tens of thousands of fans – and major Internet awards – worldwide since its inception eight years ago. Written and directed by Brooke Burgess, illustrated by Andrew West and designed and programmed by Ian Kirby, it tells the dark, unsettling but ultimately compelling story of four characters ‘from the quiet corners of the globe’ who are brought together by shared experiences, dark visions and hardships to face a terrifying threat.

In addition to contributing previously existing music from my albums, Passage and A Suite Hereafter, I produced a body of new work inspired by the dark and fascinating atmosphere of this acclaimed series. With the addition of some tracks from supporting composer Quentin Grey (performing with collaborators as ‘Methadone’), this forms the second half of the Broken Saints soundtrack, in Volumes 3 and 4.
