“I have always been fascinated by human society’s relationship to time, how it impacts our perception of the world, and how artists of all sorts strive to create a “bubble”. This somehow fixes time in place in the music, story, film, painting etc, but also the time flows naturally within it. The art creates a reflection of time passing within it and outside it. Remembering the past is like dreaming, at once unreal and yet vivid and with a profound effect on the present. I wanted this album to encapsulate this so that each composition has a clear emotional substance but also a sense of lightness and brevity, much like the surreal nature of a memory.”
‘Noah Stoneman is my oldest friend and musical collaborator. Our first performance was when we were 6 and we have grown in parallel ever since. We have spent many long hours practicing, listening; playing, talking about music. We are always the first to play each others compositions.
Freddie Jensen and I met at the Royal Academy of music’s junior programme and we have played for almost a decade. Freddie is a truly exceptional musician, winner of many awards. His beautiful musical choices and flawless accuracy elevates everything he is a part of.
James Maddren is a world class, unique, masterful and exciting drummer. It was a privilege to record with him. He brought much wisdom to this recording session drawing on his wealth of experience and refined musical judgment.’
