about

For this album, I just hit record and improvised on piano for about 45 minutes. I paused where it felt appropriate for track breaks and just played what I was feeling, with the assistance of a bottle of pinot noir. I then went back through and embellished where it made sense with orchestration and some synths to give it more texture and thread a mood throughout it. So the whole album is in one Logic session and is meant to be minimal and not over-produced. It is predominantly a solo piano record. The result is very listenable and mellow.

The album is available wherever you stream music and is available for sync.
