Although it may differ geographically, the journey is always the same, it’s just the definition of home that changes. I hope the minutes of this journey bring you joy ❤️ॐ

Italian Senator Carlo Calenda:

“The President of the United States is simply an asset of Vladimir Putin… Europe will be born at this moment if it has the strength to fight two enemies - one to the East and one to the West.”

“The battle for Ukraine is a battle for Europe.”

A slow, gentle composition charting the story of my life as a musician and composer, and how I very nearly became a horse ❤️ॐ

A few Autumnal notes, falling ❤️ॐ
A short Autumnal canon to celebrate the - albeit temporary - restoration of my studio and my return to composition which, I have to say, is something akin to and as necessary as breathing for me ❤️ॐ

Another repost due to my studio being still MIA; this one being a musical interpretation of the autumns of my childhood; filled with nature tables and beautiful Ladybird Books. I hope you enjoy it ❤️ॐ

Please forgive a repost; during this enforced silence one of the tracks I listen to most is this. It’s very gentle and easy on the ear and so, perhaps if you’re unfamiliar with it, you could try a listen? I hope it brings you joy ❤️ॐ

It feels very strange to be without a studio for the foreseeable; a large part of me is, if not missing, strangely silent. Why not check out this and many other compositions at soundcloud.com/ian-mcl13 ❤️ॐ

Following reports of unseemly crackling at the start of this track, a beautiful, sleek, and dreamy upload and repost; I hope it brings you joy ❤️ॐ
Music for one of my favourite occupations which is the act of dreaming and then the act of waking in order to write them down.
