Listening to this again is fascinating. I made an association with a recent novel I'd read (The Second Sleep) where far in the future remnants of the past are found (and re/mis-interpreted). The mouth organ bit leading into/accompanying some beautiful string writing - I love it. Thanks

I am really enjoying this! Very genuine expression and nicely balanced harmonics.

oh geez you're killing me...love these sounds

Exquisite, Kurty.  Tears rolling down at the end...

Achingly beautiful here (in a melancholy way- just how I like it)

This an easy way to get quick access to recent (& not-so-recent) works of mine. Contact me with any queries. REQUEST: Should you wish to play my work, I ask you include it on a program that reflect the values of belonging, and make an honest effort to be fully inclusive. Thank you.
