Five Easy Improvisations for Piano and Strings (2022)

00:00 – Mabel 00:58 – I am ok with it 03:28 – Beloved 05:55 – The Silent Pool 08:07 – Hannah's Adagietto Notes: • Mabel was recorded just after Mabel was born and Imogen was very unwell and Louie had slept in the hospital for many days in a row. They are very good now. • I am ok with it was recorded in the Netherlands in an odd little holiday home surrounded by miniature canals that Adam tried to go fishing in but didn't catch anything and then MF DOOM died and it made the New Years fireworks very sad. • Beloved was recorded in Berlin after I got back from the Peak District when I had a bad medieval sort of haircut and all my best friends were there to see it. • The Silent Pool was recorded in Berlin to tape hence the noise. The Silent Pool itself is near Shere and is an important nexus for folklore and mystery. A wasp once stung me on the eye and I fell in while riding my bike and my Dad laughed at me so I have been touched by those waters. • Hannah's Adagietto was recorded during the spring of 2021 in Berlin and the magnolia trees along Naugarder Strasse were losing all their heavy white petals like softserve snowflakes.
