Where We Are

Taken from new album 'Maps' https://messagetobears.bandcamp.com/album/maps&#13;
&#13;
<i>'Maps is the third LP from multi-instrumentalist Jerome Alexander, the man behind Message to Bears. &#13;
&#13;
Following on from the success of Folding Leaves, Jerome has created something that encapsulates the folksy ambience of previous releases whilst adding an electronic dimension. Building layer upon layer, songs evolve with a fragile intensity. Vocal melodies are draped over string and guitar arrangements and end up soaring over them, at the same time lending a hook instantly recognisable as Message To Bears and blending harmoniously with the arrangement. &#13;
&#13;
The overall result of Maps is something that is both startling and familiar. You are drawn in, given a map if you will, and invited on a musical journey that nods to Message to Bears' past but also leads to the future.'</i>&#13;

Linen & Silence21

Seine Minded is a companion piece to Study In Pink And Black, a work that plays on the legacy of James McNeill Whistler and his famous portrait Whistler's Mother—but with a personal twist.
Where Pink And Black contains a quiet visual pun—layering the idea of “Whistler’s mother” with my own—this piece steps away from the joke and lingers in what remains.
The piano writing is restrained and reflective, built on flowing left-hand arpeggios and a lyrical right-hand line that favours tone over display.
Harmonically, it stays in a minor, gently shifting space, with suspended chords and soft dissonances suggesting motion without urgency.
It rises briefly, like light catching the Seine, before settling back into stillness.
If Pink And Black is the idea, Seine Minded is the feeling—the quiet walk afterwards, when the mind drifts and something more personal takes hold.

🧠 Hewmorist's Commentary
A companion to Study In Pink And Black, where a visual pun becomes something more reflective—the joke gives way to the feeling, somewhere between a painting and a memory.

New piano and orchestra work for #PianoDay2020…Different from my norm, this work is fantastical, whimsical, and uses granular synthesis as well as tuned percussion, harp, and guitar. String flautando and harmonics create the sotte voce effect. Dedicated to my friend Lisa who has terminal cancer. Just learned Lisa passed away on 4/1. May she be in eternal peace...
