It’s a… it’s a series of tracks of a work in progress. I honestly have no idea what i’m actually doing with it. I have long wanted to do some sort of album\/EP which was simply piano and voice, utterly stripped away of all the lavish orchestrations i normally use.<\/p>\n

I also like to make up stories. So…. it’s a series of grim fairy tales, told through piano and voice.<\/p>\n

There are two questions i\u00a0have\u00a0regarding these:<\/p>\n

1. Do they work?<\/p>\n

2. Am i limiting their potential by insisting on keeping the tracks stripped down to just piano? Note that this question is NOT: COULD i add more instrumentation, trust me, you can ALways add more instrumentation. The question is: is it indeed necessary?<\/p>\n

In any case, if you enjoy short, little melancholy stories then i hope you enjoy this series. We begin with Dear Departed Diedre.<\/p>\n
