Running your own label certainly gets the exercise in! Batch ⅕ of Notan album pre-orders are on the way 🥰

I'll try to send all pre-orders before my UK tour starts on Friday. Thank you for your support, you fuel my passion in ways that are impossible to describe ❤️‍🔥🙏❤️‍🔥

Heck Press are the BEST to work with, just look at this stunning job that Sarah and her team have produced from Costin Chioreanu's breathtaking artwork!

I feel very blessed to be surrounded by such talent!

I don't just share technical content with my patrons on @musicpatronuk.bsky.social.

Sometimes the updates can be quite vulnerable insights into my headspace when composing various pieces.

This video is about my latest single Rex, from my upcoming album Notan:

Both shirts will be available during my album launch tour this September. I'll be sure to put any remaining shirts on Bandcamp after then.

You can find tickets for all of my tour all dates at www.joquail.co.uk/concerts/

Thank you Costin for this fabulous artwork 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for receiving my new single Rex so warmly. I want to share with you more about the journey this piece has taken and what it means to me.

I recognise that streaming helps many people discover new music. Though I far prefer connecting with you at concerts, workshops, or in my @musicpatronuk.bsky.social meet-ups, in the spirit of global connectedness, I offer 'Rex' to you on the platforms at this link: linktr.ee/JoQuail

With love, Jo

Costin interpreted both my words and my music with what I can only describe as a psychic intuition and I feel deeply honoured to be working with him on 'Notan' and 'Ianus'. You can explore his work at www.twilight13media.com and you’ll see his client list - it’s an encyclopaedia!

The oak before the city expresses that beautifully.

'Notan' is actually one half of a broader artistic concept — the second part is 'Ianus', a full orchestral album coming next year (more on that soon!). At the heart of both works is an idea I keep returning to: that history doesn’t sit behind us, but stands in front of evolution and progress.
July 24, 2025 at 12:26 PM
That became a central visual theme, and Costin captured it with something truly special.
July 24, 2025 at 12:25 PM
The stunning artwork for 'Notan' is by the incredible Costin Chioreanu. I shared with him a simple image that I see every day: ancient oaks standing before the vibrant, ever-changing city — two worlds in constant motion.
