And Breathe… This is the first piece I wrote for A Minute’s Piece, and it sets the tone for the project pretty well. Very chilled, with a bed of jazzy major sevenths and a melody that drifts around like a butterfly that’s wasted on Pimms.
Here are my original A Minute’s Peace compositions from Day #29 to Day #56. A compilation of these pieces is available to stream or download from the Music page above.
Fork Hordes The title is an appalling pun on ‘four chords’, in reference to the Two Ronnies’ ‘fork handles/four candles sketch’. The chords in question belong to the extremely overused but nevertheless beautiful I-V-IV-VI progression.
Hollywood’s Calling I’m not sure what inspired this piece, but it’s somewhere between a film score and Enya. Dramatic and mysterious.
Glass Hall When I first wrote this, I described it as the intense lovechild of Moby and Philip Glass. I think that’s pretty accurate. I really love the chords in this one – very sad, and then very stirring at the end.
