about

A collection of five pieces, made between 2016 and 2019, in a short period that echoes, in part, the grief after my mother’s passing at the end of 2015.

These pieces bring together artists from (a.o) Cape Town, The Hague, Toronto, Torino, and Johannesburg.

Listening back to these earlier pieces I can discern feelings of emptiness, fleeting moments of joy and play.

It is the unending sense of absence versus a landscape of loss, readjustment and the moments of in-between, the wielding of both loss and happiness.

Grief and joy in small increments. Yet, arriving and subsiding in waves. This album is dedicated with gratitude to the musicians who contributed to it.
