The album title comes from the flow state I often find myself in when making music. All the tracks here weren't written by design but came out when I was in that mindset.
After being stuck in a block of flats during covid, I moved to my childhood home in the country where my music (particularly my cello) won't disturb anyone. Having a milestone birthday and a house full of memories led to a lot of self reflection. I recorded some sounds from my Father's workshop which was untouched from when he died 15 years ago and used a tape recording of my baby son from over 20 years ago, amongst other field recordings.

Inspired by the poem "The Peace of Wild Things" by the American poet Wendall Berry.

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

The Peace of Wild Things (featuring Lien)

A very quick idea from my morning walk by the river.

Two Miles Per Hour

I hesitated to upload this one.  It was written as an expression of my sorrow over the recent loss of a dear friend to illness. I don't believe it's an easy listen and is texturally and harmonically dark at times.  I hope it also expresses at least some of the love I held and still hold for my friend.

Funeral for a Friend

Another work in progress! I've got the feeling I'm almost there with this track, but not quite. Maybe it needs something more. Or maybe something less. 

Wayback (w.i.p.)

The Battle of Passchendaele was a major World War I campaign fought by the Allies against the German Empire on the Western Front from July to November 1917.  It is widely remembered as a vivid symbol of the horrific fighting conditions, particularly the deep mud, and immense casualties for minimal strategic gain. The village of Passchendaele was eventually captured by Canadian troops on November 6, 1917, and the nearby ridge was secured by November 10, when the campaign ground to a halt. The advance was a mere five miles, achieved at an enormous cost of an estimated 275,000 to over 400,000 Allied casualties and around 220,000 to 400,000 German casualties. The ground gained was ultimately abandoned by the British in the face of a German offensive the following year. The name "Passchendaele" has since become synonymous with the brutal and often futile nature of trench warfare during the First World War.
