This was one of my first compositions… before I knew how to notate music, and so was performed from memory and recorded in an early concert at Charlemagne Palestine’s loft.
The music takes me emotionally to the feeling of an intimate moment shared within sheltered space, looking out – perhaps to the turbulent sky before an approaching storm. – RW
