We Are All Alone (Radio Edit)

The city at dusk is a place of promise. Every window, every doorway, every car, every cafe, every sign, every building site, every shout, every footstep, every thought offers a possibility. 

We can never hope to explore all these possibilities, which is a shame because although many of them will be prosaic, some of them will be beautiful. 

Stick this on and think about that for a bit.

The title is from O que me dói não é by Pessoa:

O que me dói não é 
O que há no coração 
Mas essas coisas lindas 
Que nunca existirão... 

(What hurts me is not
What is in the heart
But those beautiful things
That will never be...)

Do Not Operate Heavy Machinery While Under the Influence of Poetry

A couple of centuries back, Frédéric Chopin popped aboard the ship for drinks and I secretly recorded him playing this on the bridge.

Myrtle (the ship) mainly hums in C, which worked out rather nicely since this prelude is in C minor.

The little glitch around 1'47 is from when I set down my pipe on the  phonautograph paper. Fool.

Prelude, Op. 28, No. 20

Requiem

Hi, I'm a South London-based composer, producer and (on a good day) musician. 

I like pianos and cellos, synthesizers and guitars, musical journeys, soundscapes, atmosphere, grooves and tunes. 

Generally speaking, the pieces posted here are a bit lighter than the style of my band, Jensen Code, so if you prefer your music a little rockier, click on the Jensen Code links below. 

Most of these tracks are available for download, but if you don't want the big WAV files then go to my Bandcamp (link below) where you can get them as mp3s. Some tracks now available on Spotify, too: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5AzgBovMOmTNmSPaEpTvpx

For all enquiries, including licensing and commissions, please email me: andy(at)deserter.co.uk

All the Jensen Code EPs are now available on Spotify:
