about

Living with severe ME/CFS is impossible.

I've spent over two years with this extremely painful and debilitating illness. Being largely bedbound, I was limited to playing keyboard (one which fit in my lap), and only for fifteen minutes at a time. I spent more time daydreaming of music I wanted to play than actually playing it. Of course, it is hard to find musical inspiration in such a situation.

I only got to see the outside world through my apartment window. A north facing window doesn't get much light, even in the summer. Many house plants would die in such weak light. Even those that don't rarely thrive. At best, they survive, their leaves thin and etiolated. This album is a tribute to conditions that make growth impossible. Where everything is a matter of survival, and art — the survival of the spirit — is like getting blood from a stone.

Proceeds from this album will be donated to the Solve ME/CFS Initiative.

This album was written using the microtonal '24-EDO' tuning system (i.e. quarter-tones). A more detailed explanation of the music theory behind this tuning is included with the album download as a PDF.
