Music to talk it out to

I don’t know about you but the last month or so has been pretty grim; I’m hoping and praying that we’re coming out the other end – it does feel so.

It’s funny when you’re down & depressed – I personally tend to shut myself away and stop interacting with people – which feels like a good short term strategy but is a horrible path to stay on as it eventually becomes a self-fulfilling downward cycle.

Even though the self-loathing makes it hard to be around other people, actually talking to someone about “it” makes a huge difference. This piece of music was written for that exact purpose – in fact – I was talking as I was playing.

So – here it is – 20 minutes of soft, calming piano music to have on in the background while you cathartically expel your bullshit.

Enjoy!

Video from the Weekend

With the arrival of the new iPhone 4S, video suddenly becomes a lot easier. I'll be working out things like lighting, candles, mailchimp T-shirts etc over the next few months, the audio track on this is a little low but you should get the idea. Also not quite sure why YouTube insists on sticking me upside down for the still - odd!

I like the rallentando into a perfect 6 count while I take a drink..awesome!

You can listen to the full track below - hell - you can even download it here ;-)

Part of keeping on top of music2work2 means that Charlotte and I spend a little time every day curating a page over on
