Maxwell’s Demon

Piano-led orchestral/beat mash-up. Jazz drum intro, choppy jazz piano motif, driving drums. Orchestral strings join, smoothing out the disjointed piano, followed by edgy trap beats. Strings soar over the beats and grown-up piano. Abrupt ending. Jittery and excited at first, maturing throughout to a confident, epic piece. Would suit an advert for a transformative product, or a tv show interlude. A before and after from likeable and clumsy to impressive, mysterious, measured and powerful.

If You Were Mine

Jazz piano solo. Relaxed jazz chords, sparse and measured. A tense repeated phrase leads to a pensive, sombre melody with hints of hope from high piano notes. A meandering improv-like melody deviates from the original chords progression before a quiet, content ending. Thoughtful, intense and reflective, a moody piano number perfect for a the heightened tension of a romantic love scene. Two star-crossed lovers on separate paths through rain soaked streets. One in Paris, the city of lights, the other in Woody Allen’s New York…will their paths ever meet again?
