An improvised piece based on a fixed melody we call Hoi An. I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to make music and connect on this level with my best friend.

Hoi An [Live improv] (Cello- Ceridwen, đàn tranh- Mai)

This South Vietnamese lullaby is used to put children to sleep, passed onto me by my mother.

À Ơi South Vietnamese lullaby

Protected by the clouds, the moon sleeps sailing. 
From a silent star, a black swan is heard wailing.
Reflecting on the shore, she blossoms down to Earth.
Green, black and blue.. A place I place in you.
Away.....
I place a place in you..
All away...
Protected by the shore, the frogs hum their call,
Humming amongst a breeze.. of fallen blossom petals swarmed. 
Protected by the moon, Augusts deterioration..
hiding from return, all she chooses is 
Away.....
I place a place in you..
All away.

A rough song we wrote and recorded on a night we felt kinda empty :')
Me: "we came to practice jazz, we came out with a folk song"
Ben: "Just like most jazz musicians"

Away - with the Ben Cox and field recordings
