Achingly beautiful, with a bittersweet sense of hopeful discovery paired with a heartbreaking sense of loss & renewal.
Sparse yet evocative piano is the centerpiece, adorned with tasteful, vivid accompaniment from other instruments, occasional vocals & nature sounds.
The non-piano elements add just the right amount of additional color when needed (particular highlight being Field Notes XXIX, a buoyant & sunny composition that perfectly caps the album with a sense of hope after guiding you through so many subdued & yearning moments).
The cover art by Beth Fuller so perfectly captures the mood & emotion of the music, I wish it were a shirt!
