about

This album was born out of a prolonged stay in Japan after Covid-19 slowed down the earth's going abouts and airlines stopped flying.

When I found out that our return flight was delayed for a few weeks, I bought a second hand keyboard. While fiddling with it, I started recording little bits and pieces.

As our return kept getting delayed and the weeks turned into months, I started gathering a stack of these little ideas and began to make an album of the fragments. With my phone, I recorded Kyoto sounds and combined these field-recordings with the little songs, to try to make some sort memento of this time.

All of the music and lyrics were composed or improvised, recorded, mixed in different locations around Kyoto, as well as a wooden cabin in the mountains north of the city.

A very big thank you to: Kinny for the feedback; Sean for the feedback and mixing tips; Bert Indre and Willem for taking care of house back home; Rinn, Tam, Chikako, Yasko for double checking; Harufumi for having a thumb piano in your -wonderful- guesthouse and for borrowing me your guitar for so many weeks, and most of all to Keiko and Kuroda-San for your endless kindness and generosity.

We are still in Kyoto. Hoping that our airline will finally be able to fly us home beginning July.
