On the 12th of May 2025, I was shocked to discover that my wife was a stranger (at least, according to Keir Starmer). 

I have sampled Starmer's speech, reversed it, slowed it down, and processed it in an (impossible) attempt to musically counteract his Reform-like rhetoric. This is an ambient composition that can be listened to in isolation, or used as an accompaniment to improvisation.

Loving listening to everyone's music on here :-))))))))))

Thanks for reading my profile. I'm a pianist, composer, and educator, living in south-west France. Living in a quiet region surrounded by limestone plateaus, oak forests and river valleys has inspired me to create spacious music that will hopefully resonate with the listener who is looking for a quieter listening experience. More than anything, experiences of love and loss have influenced the emotional content of my music. Reflection on the intensity of these emotions has directed me to find a sound that tries to echo feelings of joy, nostalgia, melancholy, hope and longing.
