Morning

Sonata For Quartet

Every Single Day

An extract from Journey Time - a work made of continuously-flowing songs & instrumental music that looks at the possibilities of self-growth in our time of rampant distraction and confusion. This is the first ever recording of this evening-long work that premiered only last year (2022) in London - for which I wrote the words as well as the music - the lyrics are all here. Also available on CD from June 20th - please enjoy responsibly!
