about

This collection of piano pieces was recorded during my one-year residency at the Peggy Glanville-Hicks Composer House in Sydney (2015-2016). It is a personal documentation where I explore ideas, stretch out, and express sounds, alone in my lounge room. The only other being listening was our dog Luna Blue :)

RODE microphones provided me with a pair of NTR Ribbon mics, which I set up with their guidance, and I also used a small camera to casually film these "piano memoirs" or snapshots of the me, who was living at Peggy Glanville Hicks Composer house.

The residency was a much-needed respite in my life, and my family and I were so happy arrive from New York and be greeted with a beautiful two-story house in Paddington, Sydney, replete with a 108-key Stuart and Sons piano. This is the piano on this album.

I stumbled across these audio &video recordings recently and decided to release them. They are a testament to a time and a place and a me that will never be again, for better or worse.

I hope you enjoy these sounds as much as I enjoyed creating them, freely...

'The iridule -when, beautiful and strange,
In a bright sky above a mountain range
One opal cloudlet in an oval form
Reflects the rainbow of a thunderstorm
Which in a distant valley has been staged--
For we are most artistically caged.'
- Vladimir Nabokov
