about

Atmospheric piano based music, blending jazz, minimal music, and electronica.

A filmscore to a wistful art film in your mind.

I had a spell some years ago when I wrote a lot of pieces for piano. As a memory aid, at the time I recorded some on cassette and many I have forgotten, but the ones on this album have lived in my head all this time

I wasn’t aware when I wrote these how strongly I was influenced by my piano heroes. Some of these feel like tribute pieces so I feel I should especially thank and dedicate this album to...
Steve Kuhn, John Taylor, Richie Beirach, Rainer Brüninghaus, Bobo Stenson, Terry Riley, and Alexander Scriabin.

I'm also indebted to non pianist heroes Terje Rypdal, Ralph Towner, Charles Lloyd, & Kenny Wheeler, whose harmonies and playing styles also influenced this music. Toru Takemitsu was a big influence on the Inner Space/Outer Space pieces.
