Music to go with Vi Hart's "Singing Pi-Gram"
Enjoy Vi's original, acapella version here: youtube.com/watch?v=4C9PALaDh2U
SOME DETAILS:
All the parts (piano, bass, drums, organ) were played on a Korg M50 keyboard, recorded using Audacity. It took about 2 hours of playing around, and ~50 listens of Vi's vocal part to come up with a backing that fits. It was fun. I went to sleep last night with it playing on loop in my head.

In March 2020, a few days in to the Covid-19 lockdown, I decided to record a new album. Many of these pieces are improvisations, performed in one take in the evenings after my work for the day was done.
Brady asked if he could use the album as background for his video of ships in the Bristol Channel. I was more than happy to oblige. His video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyU_XhfUnAE&feature=youtu.be
In my previous album, Sunsettlement, I made a conscious decision to try and break away from my compositional habits. In this album, I was content to do the opposite, relaxing back into my natural choice of chords and melodies. As a result Eventide is far less adventurous, far more predicatble and, in a way, far more comforting than its 2017 predecessor.
Perhaps in these strange times we all long for something familiar, homely and safe.
Except track 12 Moon which is weird.")
