Keep a Memory

Recorded in the last few weeks at my Tuinhuis in Rotterdam (a large shed with a garden). I was desperate to do something creative during these lockdown times and squeezed everything I could into the tiny windows of silence without our children nearby - shoutout to all parents right now. We have no electricity there so I brought with me a fully charged laptop each visit and recorded what I could, sometimes by candle light: using 1 mic to record my voice and guitar at the same time (and the birds singing outside). I only used what was around me, a bit of bass and shaker on 1 track, and occasionally my daughter’s mini piano. I had planned to name this EP after an old song of mine ‘A Little Out of Reach’ to represent the current times but it ended up feeling more positive than I expected so I took the title from the first track which was written about my experience of reconnecting with nature and my family since finding this place. Hope you find something too in this EP, and watch out for the album coming soon!
