Here’s another video of a track from the “Touchable Dreams” CD. Jeremy and I are planning more of these soon! This one features a poem by Jeremy himself, and the musical accompaniment is from the violin sonata op.27 no.2 by Eugene Ysaÿe: Called “Obsession” this movement from the sonata features recurring motifs from Bach’s solo violin prelude in E minor, interspersed by angry outbursts and quotes of the “Dies Irae”!

For my first post of 2011 here’s a video of the track “Sanza” from the “Touchable Dreams” album.
The piece started life as a looped, semi-improvised violin piece which used lots of pizzicato. However when I came to record it I decided to have a look in my ‘miscellaneous instruments’ cupboard, and “Sanza” (another name for the thumb piano) was the result!!
I’m hoping that this will mark the beginning of a series of videos of original material throughout 2011……
