citation about dreams from the .philosopher Zhuangzi:.Am I am man dreaming that I am a butterfly? Or a butterfly dreaming that I am a .man?.A binding element is the idea of being on the train, however it is not a lucid .experience, but rather possessing a quality of a dream.

which morph into (Jacques) Derrida. The next ‘stop’ subsequently reveals a .dance of tango, then a vocalisation on da-ri-da (a play on Dada and Derrida), .followed by the choir telling their dreams over a refrain, before the return of the .opening idea, and final paraphrased.

Much like an absurd dream, Train Ride weaves its way through a game of musical .(and some extra-musical) associations. Each ‘stop’ reveals something new – the .phrase ‘Train Ride’ turns into consonants ‘t’ and ‘r’, which then morph into ‘d’ and .‘r’,.

The line between a dream and a day-dream is blurred as this composition reflects .on the experience of living in a big city and spending much of one’s life on the train, .as well as the experience of nonsensical dreams where one disparate episode leads .to the next.

My ‘Train Ride’ was released today by @KantosChoir on @delphianrecords 🎶 programme note below:

From my ‘Starlight’ - footage from the recital in London’s World Heart Beat

The idea was to link my new music with great composers that inspired me - going seamlessly from one work to the next (starting on the same note as the last note of the piece before ).

I have had a plan like this for a recital on my mind for a while 😊 the pieces are from my new album Dreamland.

Felt great to be able to perform the programme below at #WorldHeartBeat #solopiano #pianorecital

Had a blast chatting about dreams, daydreams and having a stellar Steinway at my disposal! Thank you @SEH_CCB @StEdmundHall

And thinking (maybe a little inspired by Thanksgiving from American friends!) about how all achievements are thanks to supportive people !.
