The Circus Room is a project unlike any other. It took shape over a period of years in fact. I am a writer. I am an artist. I am a musician. Take all of these and roll them into one and you get a complete artistic vision unique to your senses. There is a story, accompanied by paintings, accompanied by a soundtrack, all coming together to show you a world that only I have dreamed of. This is The Circus Room.

The EP, "A Strange Man", is out now at thecircusroom.com.
Synopsis: A chance encounter with a strange man leads you on a remarkable journey through dreams and awakenings with the introduction to a sound unlike any other. Sit back and watch the deafened world pass by, "for until now, you have been deaf all your life."
The music, accompanied by the short story, accompanied by the paintings provides you a unique and complete art experience.

Here's an excerpt from the story, "A Strange Man"
---- Spectators (Track 01)
Suddenly there was a stranger sitting at the end of my park bench, one leg crossed atop the other, left arm outstretched along the top of the wood and iron bench towards where I sat. He was well-dressed for times past, black suit and tie, polished shoes and top hat perched upon his short, well-groomed greying hair. I couldn't quite work out where he'd come from, if he'd just "appeared", or if perhaps he'd always been there, and caught up in my thoughts I'd just skimmed past him. He said nothing. To anyone, we must have looked like a pair of lonely fools with far too much time. Like spectators at a game, we sat in silent bliss and watched the world go by. An audience to the tumultuous play of the world, myself and this strange man. In fact, I think I even heard him laughing.
I don't know how much time went by, or which of us was first to leave. I'm not even sure what happened next, between then and now.
What happens now though, is all a dream - quite literally.
