Wiste is a family of diverse musical projects launched in 2025 with the release of three EPs.
“Pieces” is a collection of singer/ songwriter compositions that all speak of love.
“Another Somewhere” is a collection of songs that have all arisen from external inspirations- largely commissions- and so thematically they stand out from the other projects and stylistically are in a middle-of-the-road, bordering on country music, space. The songs are uplifting, inspiring, hopeful & happy songs- a long way from a lot of the introspective themes of “Pieces” and the darkness of “Desire”.
“Desire” is a set of five blues / rock tracks inspired by early 1970’s artists with a common lyrical theme of dark love, lust & passion with an emphasis on rhythmic engagement that’s varied and vibed. The style of the tracks arose from spending months on a Hendrix / Clapton / Stevie Ray Vaughan project that reconnected me with the guitarist influences when I was growing up. But the rhythmic nature of the tracks is different to much of what I’ve written before as I was searching for music that was so regimented in nature- I wanted music that was more musical– fluid and with an engaging vibe driven by rhythm.
