Diamonds by Catching Flies
Some new music from me out today called ‘Diamonds’ ahead of Piano Day 2022. Lots more to come this year also. I borrowed a Wurtlizer and just spent a few days improvising on it and recording everything into a tape machine. This was one of the first ideas that fell out. My music generally has a lot of layers, but with Diamonds, I wanted to strip it right back - I wanted to keep it really sparse and simple. A lot of the time it’s the music that comes together very quickly that ends up being my favourite. Sometimes you can say more by speaking less. Hope you like it! 💎
