Sustained NOW AVAILABLE
I am excited to announce that “Sustained” is now available on all platforms!
“…If every memory was self-contained
shaped by sound and sustained
may this flower ever be
Sustained meaning continuing for a long time, encapsulates the idea that some things last for a while and some don’t. The flower fossilised in resin represents the attempt to capture a moment, the beauty and fragility of life, to listen and realise that some things are sustained beyond time.
In this composition, I played with the idea of using predominantly consecutive suspended chords (sus chords), which move into a melodic line on the piano and then a unison line played by all the instruments. At the end of the composition, the drums lead everyone to the conclusion of the piece with an unexpected synth solo.
Thank you so much to all the musicians who played on this song:
Bass: Werner Spies
Drums: Deo Du Plessis
Sax: Deryn Dednam
A special thanks to Courtney Cragg at Red Ark Studios for recording and mixing this project.
Thank you to Jeandré Dednam for the album cover and design!
