#lockdownmusic

An exclusive 4-track preview of some of the more beautiful and peaceful music from our experimental / narrative feature film 'The Silence After Life' is now up courtesy of the good folks at Fluid Radio (please look at the news page of the Fluid Radio site).

Maybe the first track in particular would bring you some serenity in these ridiculous times of lockdown?

Full album and feature film out on November 27th.

Watch ‘The Rest of My Life’ at: 

It's been a year since the global pandemic has hit us. I know a lot has been affected financially, mentally and emotionally. I too was not exempted.

I tried to fight it but from time to time emotions hit me. I felt sad because sometimes I feel hopeless especially now, we have our 2nd lockdown. But I really thank the people around me, who keeps encouraging me that everything will come to pass.

I was browsing through some music sites like Spotify and one of the playlist grabbed my attention there. Although, I am not fond of music too much but the track played was very true and depicted the reality of the lockdown that we are going through due to the pandemic.

If someone like me, who is not fond of music very much and this attracted me to listen this track. Then, anyone who listens it will be enjoying it😊😊.

The track logo is very unique and some message is also shared in the music that I came to know when I played the track twice.  I am waiting for more of the tracks to be released.

A new quiet filled the air last spring as nature had the chance to become loud again through lockdown. Instead of the sound of traffic, I noticed the chorus of life in the garden: the abundance of bees, birdsong and new blooms. I wanted to respond to this in music, with sounds equally as hopeful, light and delicate as the unfolding of life in spring. 

I’d recently moved house just before the first lockdown, things were unsettled with the pandemic shutting everything down and the move away from my former home studio was surprisingly emotional. I was relieved to discover a sudden, all-encompassing rest come over me with roads falling silent and this new garden waking up, abundant with life. 

After spending a few years on the last album, which I had held so close for such a long time, I felt like I wanted to create something light and unworked in this new space. The awakening of spring was the perfect backdrop to a handful of musical sketches that had no aim but to redraw in music what was going on outside. I also begun to create a playlist of music which felt light, whimsical and joyful including artists which perfectly soundtracked this season. 

With repeated lockdowns over the year, plans to record accompanying instruments were put on hold until this spring so I’m thrilled to be able to revisit some of these tracks and finish them ready for an EP which will be coming out in June.
