Falling, Fallen, Fell EP
Everything we are is a vase.
Sometimes our vase gets knocked off the table.
We might have the fortune of anticipating the impact,
allowing us to try and soften the blow,
but we cannot stop it from falling.
On occasion though, the impact is so quick and forceful that our vase is shattered
into so many fragments that piecing it together feels impossible.
We can spend years picking up pieces that we think will fit,
only to find they don't sit together.
The process is painful,
but deep down we cling to the understanding that with each step
we learn more about ourselves and the world around us.
The stress of finding our way through our pile of fragments
can manifest itself in many different ways.
As we grow to understand the grief we have for our losses
and the tension we carry for the future,
we can choose to find spaces in which we can slow our pace,
listen to our bodies,
breathe deeper
and rest,
even if just for a few minutes.

Falling, Fallen, Fell EP - A3 Artwork Print
I'm also offering a limited edition print of the EP cover photograph, which is for sale now on my Bandcamp page. I took the photograph in a recording studio a few years ago and as it never quite fitted into other projects, it's been sat in a folder on my desktop of images that I really like but aren't sure what to do with! For me the image is a conversation between form and fragility, something that I aim to explore within my music.
The print features the following text, which I have adapted from David Byrne’s ‘How Music Works’:
Music is a cosmic telegraph that links us to a world beyond ourselves, drawing us towards that which science can’t explain, the magical and unexplainable parts of the world.
It invites us into an enchantment with the unspoken things that affect us, emanating from the mystery. An offering of transcendence.
