Stories From My Musical World
A story about memory, place and perspective: the lives passing through a house, the people who leave, and the quiet witness of what remains.
Listen to the pieceThe beginning
It began with the feeling that a place can remember more than the people who pass through it.
From Another Perspective looks at a house as a witness: still, patient and quietly full of stories.
The memory
This story follows the lives and memories gathered around a house: arrivals, departures, relationships, private thoughts and the rooms that hold them all.
The music is shaped by the idea that every place can be seen from more than one angle. What feels ordinary from one view can become strange, tender or revealing from another.
Rather than explaining everything directly, the piece leaves room for the listener to move through the house themselves and notice what remains.
Creating the music
Photographs, notes and little fragments can be gathered here as the story grows.
The house artwork anchors the story world and gives the music its sense of place.

A quiet reflection
Every piece keeps a little of the place, image or feeling that began it. This page is a quiet place for those fragments to stay close to the music.
