Music is so often connected to story.
The story of this music took shape over 25 years...
I've spent the last 5 years producing "The HIDDEN Project" -- about a pianist's 20 year journey in Alzheimer's caregiving ...and his return

It seems there’s a recent uptick in people listening to this piece on Spotify.
I’m grateful and hope the emotional range and journey in it may offer something to this moment...

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.
