All of the music was composed in early 2023 except ‘Starlight on Night Waters’ which was composed for piano three hands in 2022. While composing ‘Daisy Days’ I was also working on a painting of daisies so the two proceeded in tandem. It is based on a rhythm I occasionally find myself tapping. ‘In Simple Time’ the right hand plays in two while the left hand plays in three. ‘Little Waves for Sabine Hossenfelder’ is dedicated to the German theoretical physicist to say thank you for her excellent YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/@SabineHossenfelder/videos ) that I regularly watch. ‘Waiting for The Green Line’ as all of the other pieces on the album, is diatonic, but in this one I’ve used more of the dissonance available in the diatonic system to create a feeling of suspense. Anyone who regularly works on a computer will understand the suspense of waiting for the green line as it appears when one updates the computer, or scans, or downloads or saves large files. I seem to spend quite a lot of my time waiting for the green line to finish. When I started writing ‘Footprints’ I thought it sounds a bit too much like Philip Glass. I decided to carry on with it but acknowledge here my debt to his influence. The first time I heard his ‘Einstein on the Beach’ completely changed my perspective on what contemporary music could be, so thank you Mr. Glass. The piece is composed for piano three hands and has a surprising end.
