I don’t feel in control of my destiny, I am restricted by responsibility for others.  And after a day of over exposure to the News, and all the bad things in the world that are happening, or might be happening, I felt low.  

So I wrote this piece of music.  I felt intense and sad, I wanted to see what music would flow from me.

I imagine an escape where I can be at one with nature, swimming with whales.

After a bit of an emotional time, I found myself beginning to come back to "me" and what I love to do....A Return to Centre.

Big questions have been on my mind recently.  I have been giving thought to what may lie beyond myself, creation, the possibility of eternal life.  I have been questioning, reading, seeking.  This piece of music has been borne from this state of mind and I am so pleased that it has emerged sounding so joyful.  It is both a realisation and a proclamation of belief.  I didn’t know what to expect when I started.  It came From the Blue.

Thanks as always to Chris Adams for mastering this piece, your love and support along the way and for opening my mind to possibilities that I would not have otherwise imagined.

I started with an arpeggio, which is often the way with my music.  The arpeggio that I created in this collection of pieces seemed to take on a character all of its own very quickly.  I had not come up with a name when I set out but as soon as the arpeggio came to life I thought to myself….this arpeggio is called Audrey!

I imagined Audrey to be a lead character in a romantic comedy film.  I decided there and then to challenge myself to write 3 pieces in an “Audrey” style, reflecting different moods as if accompanying the film where we follow a little bit of Audrey’s life.

The result is this trilogy:  Meeting Audrey, Sad Times and Overcoming.  

Meeting Audrey
This is the first piece in the trilogy.  It establishes the arpeggio theme that I think sums up Audrey.  She is fun, quirky…..maybe a little bit scatty.  Life is busy and she muddles through, like many of us do these days.

Sad Times
In this, the second piece in the Audrey trilogy, our heroine experiences some sad times in her life.  The music has similar melodic themes to “Meeting Audrey” but the arpeggio, her “spirit”, is absent.  Sad times in our life can make us feel like our spirits are temporarily dampened.

Overcoming
In this, the third piece in the Audrey Trilogy, Audrey picks herself back up after the sad time in her life.  She gathers the strength to carry on and finds happiness…..and her spirit….once again.


A special thank you once again to Chris Adams who has given so much of his time to help develop my mixing skills and start to show me mastering.

The inspiration for this piece simply came from my own musical journey and learning to overlap "scenes" within my musical project to ensure smooth transitions.  However I often find my musical journey encourages me to reflect more widely on life in general.

With this composition I found myself contemplating how different stages of my life have, in hindsight, constantly been overlapping.  

Life is full of endings and beginnings.  When one thing ends, another has already started.

I love learning and trying new things.  In this composition I have started to experiment with a new piano sound, combined with more traditional elements.   I hope you enjoy listening and find it relaxing.

I am continuing to experiment with sound.  In this piece I have combined the piano with various mallets - glockenspiel, vibraphone, celesta, xylophone and marimba - to add a magical and percussive quality.

Nothing makes me happier than composing and producing music.  I hope that you enjoy my creations. 

I am grateful for my musical ability.  It gives me a sense of purpose, serves as an emotional anchor and is a constant companion.  It also enables me to express my creativity, something that I find very necessary to my overall well-being.

I also enjoy finding beautiful music by other artists and creating playlists to share.  If you are on my playlist, it means that your music has profoundly affected me, and I sincerely thank you.  By creating and sharing playlists, I hope, in a small part, to help other artists to get the recognition they deserve as well as enabling me to share the beauty I have found with others.

Thank you for listening.
