Autumn Colors

We're delighted to share the second single 'King's Cross, After Dark' from @petraleksander's upcoming record Collage. The piece can be imagined as a reflection on the tranquility that descends on the famous central London station when the day is over and the city sleeps ; the upright piano that graces the concourse plays a nostalgic melody, accompanied by sweeping string lines...

I've been recording this piano record in my living room with a lovely American made Charles Walter upright piano that I found on Craigslist - or maybe it found me - but this record captures three weeks in June when I create some compositions with it and added a few string parts as well.  Enjoy.

Provenance

"Prayers are tools not for doing or getting but for being and becoming." These are words of the legendary pastor and writer Eugene Peterson, whose biblical imagination has formed generations of preachers. At the back of the church he led for nearly three decades, you’d be likely to find well-worn copies of books by Wallace Stegner or Denise Levertov. Frustrated with the unimaginative way he found his congregants treating their Bibles, he translated it himself, and that translation has sold millions of copies around the world. Eugene Peterson’s down-to-earth faith hinges on a love of metaphor and a commitment to the Bible’s poetry as what keeps it alive to the world.
