This song is for anyone going through a hard time. It's for anyone who may have lost hope. It's for anyone who needs a reminder it's worth giving all you've got to reach the shore. Fight for yourself. You're worth it.

A huge thanks to Anders Mouridsen who produced this song, recorded the instrumental tracks and provided an incredible coaching experience over a year to help bring this song out of me. Anders works miracles with musicians at all levels, including a first-timer like me. https://www.andersmouridsen.com/the-experience

Back to the Shore

A little evening handpan improv on an Awa Jamé at my home in Richterswil, Switzerland in April. I'm still a newbie with learning this beautiful instrument -- loving the journey. Video version here: https://youtu.be/Y5M4LpFzhoA

Improvisational piece dedicated to a friend.

I recorded this track on an April evening in Richterswil, Switzerland for my friend's daughter, Ollie. The instrument is made by my friend Antonio of Satya Sound Sculptures. It's an early model from 2016 that he named Jamé.

Sunset: Handpan Improv - April 2017 - Thailand

I wrote and voiced this story as a re-interpretation, modernization and improvisation based on a classic 1819 children's story Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten. The re-imagination story is set in Zurich, Switzerland and follows animal characters Don the Donkey, Diane the Dog, Harry the Horse, Reggie the Rooster and Sylvia the Swan as they leave their current lives behind and set off on a quest to become musicians in the beautiful village of Tuggen. This is my first attempt at a project like this, a gift for a friend and all in fun!
