As All The World Was Breaking Like A Wave

Euan from Glacis and I have been friends for some time and appreciated each other’s music for much longer. We got in touch through Whitelabrecs at the time ‘Cloud Anthems’ was released. Since then, we have stayed in touch and chat from time to time about music, our projects, everyday life and family.

In autumn 2022, we decided to start a collaboration and to exchange ideas and sounds fragments via file sharing, a process that developed quite naturally over the next two years. It has been a truly exciting experience, as we both use the piano as one of the main instruments in our own projects, but the album 'Time Is Coming To An End' goes beyond that, combining modern classical compositions with experimental textures, shifting from light-filled passages to shadowy tones, from deep melancholy to sublime beauty.

The work on the album ‘Time Is Coming To An End’ lasted from winter 2022 to early 2025, interrupted by periods when things needed to be consolidated and continued when it felt right. Everything developed naturally, without a specific concept in mind, except for the fun of working together and surprising each other with new ideas and versions of tracks. The result is a moving, multi-layered collection of pieces that is more than the sum of its parts.

A first taste of our Scottish-Bavarian partnership was given by the 5-track EP “Reflections” which we have self-released in spring 2025 for Piano Day. ‘Time Is Coming To And End’ now reveals the full picture in all its depths and details, connected by the moving title and impressive photos from Meike Pfitzner.
