I was on my holiday at my mother's house in January 2023. There is a nice piano there, it's my mother's piano. I played the piano quite a lot during my stay and recorded a bunch of tunes all improvised. I added some field recordings from Japan. Now I am please to announce that the recording is complied and released from PRAH Recording on 14th Feb. There will be a vinyl and digital. The single 'Hankyu Denshya' is already released. It's about my favourite train line near my mother's house.

Hello! Currently, I moved out of London with my narrowboat and moving towards the Avebury stone circle area. So I can stay around there and write tunes about stone circles. While I am doing that, I started a service for making paintings just for you, with messages... please let me know if you are interested :) You can follow my Instagram page for it which is @painting_of_Your_dreams xxx  Our third album 'Crispy Moon' has hatched today! Happy Crispy Moon day!
