Here's the story behind the album. Steinway Hall kindly hosted the launch of Piano Composed, my latest album out now! This film features my good friend and pianist Peter Noke who transcribed many of the pieces and George Soole, Director of Sales at Steinway who introduced the evening performance. I hope you enjoy hearing about my process of composition.

The piano is the first instrument I started playing when I was seven and it’s like I’ve spent the whole of my life playing piano. During Covid I thought it was about time that I made an album of piano pieces but this time I wanted the compositions to be more considered rather than purely improvised which I had done before. I started composing with my ivory piano software and was able to do lots of editing to the pieces and experiment with arrangements. I was pleased and had the work mastered and pressed some vinyl and I thought that was gonna be it. Then at Steinway‘s in London they kindly let me spend a day with a Spirio piano in their showroom. I brought my laptop and ran the IVORY compositions through the piano and was blown away with the possibilities of this modern-day player piano. So you have two versions of these compositions: PIANO COMPOSED IVORY available on vinyl and PIANO COMPOSED SPIRIO available on CD.
