about

Composed of improvisations performed throughout November 2022, during live streams at home; in candle-lit evenings, and in sunny garden mornings. When I listen back to this collection of songs I visualise midnight walks through city centres with many lights, and through forests where swarms of fireflies dance. To me it captures a moment, a feeling, a memory of the entire month, the beginning of shorter days and longer nights at home carefully turning pages of books beside candles and steaming cups of tea and hot chocolate. It reminds me of dreams of summer and of desires for the following summer. The beginning of frosty days and colder nights.

I thank everyone who follows my music and has witnessed some of these tracks in the livestreams. To perform and create beside such a brilliant audience of people from across the world who have found goodness in the music I create, is immensely warming and I am forever grateful.

Recording via a Zoom H4N. Using a Boss DD8 Delay + Boss RC600 Loop Station.

The artwork - as I don’t have the budget to hire artists at the moment - is from the AI art bot Midjourney.
