I’ve just published the 5th and final entry in Page 4 of the Sketchbook series. The recording is called “Flying Home”, and, as always, is free for you to listen to and download.

As the winter settles in, I’m looking forward to sketching out a new chapter of musical exploration. Thank you for turning the pages with me.

I’ve just published the 4th entry in Page 4 of the Sketchbook series: a solo piano recording called “Snowstorm”. I made this recording on a public Yamaha upright, in which I noticed a few particular qualities: in general, a very muted character; in the highest octave of the keyboard, a particularly sparkly, chilly ambiance (especially when played forte); and, in the lowest octave, a sort of cloudy, percussive, almost prepared-piano timbre. This new recording makes use of these extreme registers to create a variety of tempestuous effects. As always, it’s free for you to listen to and download.

EPR, which stands for Emfred Public Radio, is an in-development project which aims to provide a series of long-form audio pieces focused on in-depth discussions of music, literature, and the arts. Episodes will be structured like radio programmes, complete with original music, mock ad-breaks, and various other auditory adventures. The first episode is currently in development and will be released soon!

A successor project to Recordings Without Words, intended to journal a new period of musical development.

The best place to start is the cover page, found here.
