In this mini album I wanted to explore building intensity and emotion with strings and piano. I feel both pieces are very unapologetically me, with endless layers of melodies that build throughout, grounded by the always reliable and consistent piano

Solstice was written after Equinox. I wanted to balance the vibrancy of Equinox with a piece that was more brooding and solemn, heralding the start of the colder season and longer nights.

I wanted to compose a piece that emotive, vibrant and full of colour - so Equinox was born. For both pieces I wanted to keep the focus on acoustic instruments with minimal support from electronic synths and beats. As I wrote this piece it made sense to me to call it Equinox as it felt like the start of something new, something to celebrate

The ideal way to listen would in their order (Solstice first then Equinox), but they can also be enjoyed as stand alone pieces

A huge thank you to Emma Greenhill who have brought these pieces to life with her beautiful string playing!

I hope you enjoy the album
