It was the moment I finally landed the sounds and atmospheres I’d been chasing and it pushed my mixing and production to a new level.

The book explores the album, its origins, the 'Leon' recordings, the subsequent tour and more, in what remains one of Bowie’s most creatively fertile periods.

These four are some of my best work. I was considering continuing the red/white theme indefinitely (I didn't, and wish I had!).09 Jan 2026 13:36 +0000at://did:plc:6n2b5htunzxgukeusgvtx5fa/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbymiojric2shttps://bsky.app/profile/thelightdreams.bsky.social/post/3mbenar7sfs2bCover reveal! 💥 My next book, Inside Outside, is a deep dive into the making of David Bowie’s 1.Outside; an album that still fascinates and inspires 30 years on. Too often overlooked and misunderstood, it remains Bowie's most artistically fearless work. Out this spring.
