  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Hiraeth
    (n.) A spiritual longing for a home which maybe never was. Nostalgia for ancient places to which we cannot return. It is the echo of the lost places of our soul’s past and our grief for them. It is in the wind, and the rocks, and the waves. It is nowhere and it is everywhere. [Welsh]

    ………………………………………

    “Hiraeth” is the sound of a headful of memories falling out through my fingers. Basically an hour of piano improvisations with a few judicious edits and overdubs. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
    The Bandcamp download comes with a bonus 35-page PDF booklet of Hiraeth inspired, AI-generated art, crafted during the recording and production of the album.

    Improvised, recorded, and edited at home in South Wales, during January and February 2024.     ... more
