Improvisations

This piece was the first new piece I wrote (after editing Portrait) that got me back into composing after a bit of a hiatus (2021).  One of the good things to come out COVID and lockdowns (at least for me)! !  Big thanks to Xavier Beckitt for the mixing and mastering :)

Meditation

Lullaby for Brooke is a piece I wrote for my granddaughter Brooke, after Australian pianist Vanessa Sharman kindly asked me to contribute to her Lullaby Project. It’s a gentle, simple reflection of the love and calm she brings.

Lullaby (for Brooke)

This is a piece that is pretty much entirely an improvisation that I recorded 20 years ago.  I've been meaning to edit it and make it presentable ever since then, but for whatever reason(s), it's taken me until now to do that.  It is essentially the same form and melodic content, just with many of the textural elements tidied up.  I hope you enjoy it!
