There were endless possibilities, questions left unanswered and a door which sat ajar. There were three reasons why she might have left... The night was cold and dark, a faint chill ran through the town as he began to wonder where his long lost lover had gone. Absconding was weak and cruel - it answered as many questions as it posed and carried a bitter taste upon the tongue...

Tom Hodge & Franz Kirmann are long time collaborators and prominent musicians - the pair have worked creatively for decades and have recently recorded music behind a new documentary: "The Man Behind The Microphone". 

In doing so they also managed to compose new music of their own, built for no creative purpose other than love. This track is one of those.

PREMIERE: Tom Hodge & Franz Kirmann - Three Reasons Why [1631]

Compositions for piano with some influence from classical music, American songbook, jazz and other styles.
All compositions written by Anibal Seminara.
