"Deep beneath the forest, there is magic all around,
With music, dance and laughter, yet you'll barely hear a sound,
But if you're very still, you may hear a fiddle play,
As tiny creatures celebrate another splendid day."

- Beneath the Forest, by Francess Harris

A companion piece to "Enchanted Forest Dance."

But the sound keeps coming
Out of the flowers.

This EP is the journey I had to take when I transitioned into making music instead of performing music composed by others. Because of an injury I had to find my voice through sounds rather than my instrument. 
This was more than two years ago and this music has been on my computer since. This was prior to making Amsterdam Sessions with Sjors Mans. 
I've been going back and forth on whether this would stay on my computer forever or not. 
But in the end I had to share it one way or the other. I'm extremely thankful that piano and coffee records believed in the material and pushed me to release it at times where I had doubts.

My hope with this EP, Amsterdam Session and the material I'm working on right now will paint a picture of how I've evolved as an artist. If you'd listen to the three compilations of music you would hear me learn how to play the piano, take my first baby steps as producer/audio engineer and finally slowly find my way back to the trumpet.
I'm super nervous to share this (as always). I really hope you will find it pleasurable. Or at least not horrible 😉 I'm quite proud that it finally off my hard drive and is flying free!

I'm going through a faze of recording real acoustic piano releases & here is another in the series entitled, "Instinctive". Once again, I used 2 Nuemann U87 microphones, but added a AKG C414 as a room microphone in the studio, to capture the ambient sound in the recording space. This was also an improvisational track. I didn't know what I was going to perform until I hit record, ran into the rec space & started playing. Enjoy!

Instictive

I started off learning piano at around 6 years old, but only realised my ear for music when I could pick out melodies I heard on the radio & from then on I started writing my own music & playing long into the night, to the point where my parents told me to stop so they could go to sleep!
In my teenage years I joined bands & learnt basically on the fly how to work as a group. Once I realised that keyboards were not as portable & able to be played on beaches / around campfires, I taught myself guitar. By adding drums, harmonica & bass to my arsenal, the stage was set for a fully working band to record in my garage. Since setting up my home studio, I love recording a tune each week & especially love collaborating with all the extremely talented musicians on soundcloud. I'm a full time musician, with many different hats in the music community. Including songwriter, composer, live musician & blog writer.
