Heartbeat/My Mother Was The Wind (September 2020)
Heartbeat/My Mother Was The Wind was released on Friday 18th September 2020 via PinDrop Records.
about Heartbeat:
I recorded the piano part for Heartbeat whilst on a Solo Collective tour with Anne and Alex in Germany in mid February 2020. The atmospheric sound is the processed sound of my son Noah's heartbeat in my partner's womb, recorded by the midwife during a check up sometime in February. I produced the track as a tribute to Noah, and my excitement about his forthcoming birth. Sadly he didn't survive the pregnancy and was stillborn at Swindon hospital on 24th July 2020.
As we've found since Noah's birth it's surprising how common miscarriage and stillbirth seem to be, but how hard it is to prepare expectant parents for it as a very real and possible outcome of pregnancy. This is shared with love and solidarity for the parents and families that have been through this in the past, are going through it now and will go through it in the future. And again a thank you to all our friends, family and loved ones as well as the medical staff who have been so kind and supportive during this time.
about My Mother Was The Wind:
Recorded at home on a rainy day in Wolvercote, Oxford in Spring 2020, My Mother Was The Wind is a tribute to my dearly departed mother, Sheenagh Reynolds, who passed away on 30th August 2016. I have a powerful memory of a rainy day spent with her during my childhood days, and this track was an attempt to channel the grief, nostalgia and warmth of these kinds of memories.
Plague Song (August 2020)
Plague Song was released as part of the Plague Song album via Bandcamp on Friday 14th August 2020. The album features contributions from an all star cast of ambient/experimental musical artists, all responding to an original graphical score by artist and musician Nick Gill.
I created my interpretation of the Plague Song score as a response to the wider circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing chaos. I've tended to avoid overt political statements in my music, and this piece is intended to be apolitical in a sense, it's more a focus on the personal, emotional responses to a situation seemingly fraught with danger and catastrophe. Most of us that have lived in times of relative peace never imagined we'd see the churches closed on Easter Sunday and whole populations of people effectively put under house arrest with no promise of a definite timetable for release. Held hostage by an unknown, unseeable enemy, with the weight of uncertainty of who to trust in a situation with no clear precedent and a lot of room for abuse of power. Also a creeping fear of us being a pawn in a wider struggle between the US and China, a struggle that could easily go nuclear…..
