About

There's no one overarching concept, but there are a few loose overlapping themes: water, family, the future... It starts in one vein and then drifts into another, settling into something more typical of me. It has its defects (inevitably) but overall I'm pleased with it and, as always, had a great time putting it together. Congrats to everyone who completed something this February.

Favourite Moment

Unexpected flute melody on track 7

Advice

Keep going, trust the songs, don't try to be clever.
