about

How did this album come about? For quite some time I have endeavored to record a long playing piano album.

While in the womb our daughter's nickname was Chum, because we knew that she was going to be born during the salmon run season. We live along a creek that flows into the Salish Sea of Cascadia, also known as the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. Here, we behold this ancient cycle of life while welcoming the life of our new family member.

I recorded this album, at home, on my A = 432hz 1978 Yamaha piano, a week before Filomena was born, celebrating Autumn — a season of death and re-birth, beauty, and bounty.

Exploring silence, nuances, simplicity, repetition, predictability and cliché chord progressions, I have played piano improvisation-ally for about 11 years. Playing is a therapeutic process for me. I hope this album brings deep peace to your being.
