ABOUT
Each piece is a character study, with track titles as the names of characters from the 1946 fantasy novel "Titus Groan". It is not necessary to have read or be familiar with Titus Groan or the Gormenghast series in order to enjoy these piano pieces, but reading those books will hopefully add an additional layer of depth and meaning that would otherwise be absent.

If you are interested in learning more about Mervyn Peake, who led a rather fascinating life, here is a documentary on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HztTSfGozKc

There are some other interesting videos and lectures available on YouTube including a lecture given by his own son, Sebastian: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfUcILa2eW0

This is also worth watching as it features a lot of Peake's artwork: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE8M_dSLzh0

PRESS
"...the album seems to find beauty in corrosion and eternity in decay..."
CVLTARTES

"...There’s a sense of stillness to it with a side of melancholy. It did remind me somewhat of work you might hear from the notable composer Max Richter..."

This is brooding & menacing. It has a radio waves, broken transmission feel to. The featured machines haven't neccesarily taken over, but they're inescapable. Waiting. Watching. Especially love Fairway. It sounds like the ocean - but this is the waters swirling around Fang Rock, in the middle of the night. There's danger afoot. Beautiful stuff. knightd68
