Expulsion from the Garden of Eden - Copyright © Paul Huxham 2014. All rights reserved.
This, my first album which I completed in September 2014, is a themed compilation and is based upon my thoughts and reflection of my life on seeing the paintings “Expulsion from the garden of eden” and “Moon and firelight” by Thomas Cole which he painted in 1828.

The album was created over a 15 year period and went through a large number of rewrites as well as creative gaps during my early working career. A lot of the music has also had to transition three major computer platforms and workstation software, also moving from hardware to soft synths. It "sounds" old, because thats how I remember it sounding when I created most of it. Modernising it would take away from its meaning to me.

Recording this album proved to me that I can see a creative project through from start to finish; through the entire process of creating, playing, recording, mixing, producing the recording along with the artwork, having CDs pressed - everything.

The context is extremely personal (heard in the final product or not) and the title evokes christian religious connotations; however I can assure you that religion is not a message I am preaching. I believe that the music expresses my struggle to be who I am and the anguish one faces at certain times in their life.
