Four Walls is the first piece in my first ever publicly released piano series. I started writing the piece a while ago, but only now in the presence of my own company amongst the same four walls, have I been able to finish it. Thank you so much for listening.

Four Walls

When Time Stood Still

This piece is the third instalment in my first ever publicly released series of piano music. On reflection of the first two pieces, probably owed to an element of production software doing the heavy lifting of editing and sound, I felt they were "over-computerised", lacking the emotion or empathy you might find with a live performance. So this time round I made sure the piano was recorded as authentically as possible, and even added some life with the sound of water droplets coming from my kitchen tap! 

Still at the very beginning of my musical journey in composing music, I'm yet to find my sound and have so much to learn. I hope that even in these very infant stages of music creation you are able to enjoy and take something positive away from these pieces. Happy listening!

“An unwanted and sudden change that hurts at first but becomes the very source of inspiration for one’s own peace.”

 “Like running from a painful memory only to realise much later on that by confronting it you learn from it. And it changes the path you’re on in a wonderful way.”

“Beauty of letting time work it’s magic. I’ve been through a lot and only now have started appreciating the time I needed to ground myself again.”

 “I felt like I was with you in the song. Like we were going through lots of different life events but in 7 minutes. “

“Evoked all sorts of waves of emotion for me. Uplifting in parts like glimmers of joy and hope in such a deep and dark time.”

“Sad but in a good way.”
