In 2020, Owens returns with his first studio albums in 10 years. ‘Waiting for April’ followed by ‘The Remnants’ The work combines acoustic instrumentation and electronically manipulated recordings, and was inspired by a two month stay in the home of American Poet Robert Grey.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

“The two months I spent with Robert were wildly creative for me. His detailed, and often harrowing accounts of his family history and ancestors set off a creative torrent.” The resulting sound mixes genres such as Ambient, Modern Classical and Electronic. “I wanted to relay the beautiful, intense and dramatic stories Robert had told me in a way that didn’t over dramatise, but also didn’t soften the subject matter,” Owens’ music is often delivered in a visual\/narrative\/cinematic style, which has infused his music throughout his career.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following a commission to write and produce a dark cover version of Love is a Battlefield for Nicole B\u00f6hm\u2019s Soul Guardian Chronicles Series (Die Chroniken Der Seelenw\u00e4chter) in 2021, Owens teamed up with vocalist Eliza Grey to for his new project ‘ZKULLZ’. 2022 will see the release of music under his own name and via ZKULLZ.<\/span><\/p>\n
