Description: A musical meditation on a rainy day in May, a field recording as a backdrop (complete with passing train), the piano is a spontaneous improv recorded as the rain fell to the delight of the spring greenery.

Im really chilling out to this. Beautiful

The field recording gives the piano improv such a great foundation.  Wonderfully calming and peaceful - feel all the better for listening to this today...

The sound of this rain and piano playing is really moving! Great improvisation!

Whatever you're doing, keep it up! This is wonderful!!

Awesome piano play &composition 🍃🌱🍀

Going Further To Forever

Emily Coy is an absolute powerhouse! She wrote the lyrics, and recorded all of those amazing layered vocal harmonies. I wrote and recorded everything else (the drums are built out of midi loops I adapted. And I did reshuffle and retime Emily's parts a bit to create this song structure). Weaving guitar lines around Emily's vocals is truly a joy.

Behind the Same Door (ft Emily Coy Vocals)

this is a song off an ep i put out a while back that was recorded on an old 4 track tape recorder which i thought had a nice ragged sound................thanks for having a listen

Miles Away

Tim and I continue our musical conversations and the kind of tonal quantum entanglement we delight in. Just letting the changes come in the flow of the music. Listening deeply and letting whatever will emerge, to do so harmonically and gracefully.  Kinda like conscious living itself. 😉

As usual, I'm on the Upright Grand Piano and Tim's manning his Telecaster.

We trust you'll enJOY this second Improvisation from our early August 'Mystic Heart' Session.

Detuned Memory invites you on a sonic exploration of fragile recollections and fractured rhythms. Rooted in classical undertones yet shaped by electronic glitch and ambient textures, each track unfolds like a half-remembered story, full of shifting tones and emotional traces.

Experience moments of melancholy alongside bursts of unexpected calm, as delicate harmonies break apart and re-form in gentle chaos. From faded echoes to shimmering distortion, these pieces weave narratives of memory, loss, and fragile hope, encouraging you to reflect, drift, and rediscover.

Enter the world of Detuned Memory, where resonance and rupture collide in a contemplative soundscape offering a journey through broken melodies and still spaces waiting to be heard.

Grace’s Thought

Solo Piano.  Created in Real-Time LIVE at the Unity Church of Light, St. Charles MO.

Year of Music: July 12, 2025

We're late starters, hence the name.  Andy started playing and learning how to use a DAW to keep distracted during the covid lockdown, while Helen finally realised a long held ambition to have a go at singing, and is now both writing and performing.
We love the community on Soundcloud, where we can share our music with like minded souls.
