On Friday April 1st, the video premiere of the first single from honey cadence will be live!
sweet nuance was born in early January 2022, from an improvisation and idea: a repeated harmonic figure (ostinato) with a melody floating over. I sought to capture a moment of stillness that is both intimate and timeless. sweet nuance, the first piece on my instrumental album honey cadence, marks my debut as a composer. The solo felt special as soon as I found it and resides close to my heart. Having only focused on performing and arranging for almost 20 years, composing this album in just a couple of weeks was magic.
I had a wonderful time speaking with guitarist and podcaster extraordinaire Rosie Bennet for ‘Fret Not’. For close to 2hrs(!) we discuss definitions of success and by token my definitions of mistakes, Segovia’s influence and whether or not he would be able to make a career in the current industry climate, and what it truly means to make a difference as a musician. Don’t worry, she edited it down to 43min. If you’d like the complete ramble, just shoot her an email. It’s given at the beginning of the podcast.
For the record, I love much of what Segovia did. Do check out the rest of her shows! Her interview with Brian May, yes Brian May of Queen, is fantastic!
On April 1st, ‘sweet nuance’ the first single from my first album dedicated to my own compositions will be released on Tiger Turn! This is a new artistic direction that has been extremely rewarding.
The album, ‘honey cadence’ is an EP of six works. Click the link below to reserve ‘sweet nuance’. I wrote ‘sweet nuance’ in early January 2022. Born from an improvisation, a melody floats over a repeated harmonic figure (ostinato). Once it clicked I wrote out the music in about 20min. I sought to capture a moment of stillness that is both intimate and timeless.
This is the first piece from my debut album as a composer. It felt special as soon as I started it, so it is very close to my heart. Having only focused on performing and a little improvisation, composing this album in just a couple of weeks felt almost like magic.
