Galdr

Galdr (for solo piano)

This is the second piece in my ongoing series of piano miniatures entitled "Notes from the Attic." These short pieces are written in a tonal style which consciously owes a huge debt to the 19th century (and earlier); music that rejects the smartphone, social media, AI, and embraces a lost era where the calls on our attention were fewer, and we didn’t carry around a world of distraction in our pocket. Am I romanticising the past? Yes, probably.
