Today, a very personal “lockdown project” I was immersed in for four months is released by Neuma Records.
I love live music and performing, and missed it a lot during the lockdowns. In the absence of this crucial aspect of my musical life, I had to find other ways to develop ideas.
Step(pe)s is a piece involving just one violin and computer – it started as an “audio catalogue” of various sounds and techniques that I like to explore, and gradually developed into the current form.
I am very happy to share it with you all.
With many thanks to:
Kate Beaugié for the beautiful image.
Erdem Helvacioglu for brilliant mastering.
United Music Publishing for their great work and support.
My Kreutzer Quartet friends, Peter Sheppard Skaerved, Clifton Harrison and Neil Heyde for long-term collaboration that has allowed me to explore these sounds and worlds.
Philip Blackburn @ Neuma for his openness and vision.
