This Christmas

An entry for the July/August 2025 Crow Hill composing challenge.

The brief was to create 30-60 seconds of reality/daytime TV incidental music, inspired by the early 2000's pizzicato strings trope (e.g. the "Six Feet Under" theme), but using the newly-released Bridge Guitar instrument from the Crow Hill Company's free "Vaults" series.

Made entirely from stringed instruments, using the updated Crow Hill Company Glass Strings, this is one of the most vulnerable pieces I’ve put together.

It’s for moments when words fall short. Music to sit with when you feel quiet, overwhelmed, or just need space. Like the mirror it’s named after, it reflects something back - stillness, sadness, or whatever’s been waiting to surface.

I wanted each note to feel like it was disappearing into the distance. Like how a mirror creates a sense of space - not actual space, but reflected space. That illusion, that gentle stretching of reality, is what this track leans into.

I hope you enjoy it!
