Hello! Over the last few months I’ve been working on some new music I wanted to make sure you knew about. The first is called “In Circles”, which was released today (11.01.24). Here is some context around the piece:
Have you ever tried to step outside your life, to observe it from a storyteller’s perspective? Or like a movie-goer? We watch the protagonist on the screen go through a horrific, life-altering event. They lose a loved one. They lose money, status, or the things they find their identity in. Or they lose everything. It’s often in those moments, that as the observer we think, “There’s still an hour left in this movie. I wonder what happens next? I wonder how they’ll get through this one!” By the end, it all becomes clear. Our lives are like a story. We often find ourselves in situations that seem beyond our control. Situations that lead us into despair. What would it be like to step outside our story in that moment? To shift our thinking from: “This is it. I’ll never get out of this.” To: “I wonder how my story will unfold from here. I wonder what unexpected good things will come my way.” To view ourselves as the protagonist.
“In Circles” is about the hope that comes to us in our darkest moments.
The other is called “When Morning Comes”.
Both can be found on any streaming service as well. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoy playing them.
