This new album brings Patrick Allen to the foreground as a pianist whose creative life has long spanned composition, recording and sound. It follows two earlier projects for Blue Cloud Music that together have amassed millions of streams.

More inward-looking than its predecessors, the music explores solitude, mystery and personal introspection. The piano writing is restrained and patient, with a strong sense of space, colour and resonance, shaped by an ear attuned to atmosphere as much as gesture.

A reflective and absorbing release in which subtlety, space and mood take precedence over display.
