Forest Swords - Bolted (2023) [Official Digital Download]

Working as an in-demand composer and sound designer – writing music for ballet, film and video games – Bolted was recorded over the last twelve months in Barnes’ home city of Liverpool. His ad hoc studio in a former vehicle and munitions factory (with connections to shadowy guerilla artists The KLF) became a gateway for him to explore, using a combination of hardware, software and tape machines to mould and sculpt a sound world for the album.
