Beyond Words: The Language of Music

I recently had the immense privilege of spending time at Studio Richter Mahr to help my friend with a recording project. Over the course of two weeks we had the chance to record some music on the stunning grand piano there, and also work alongside some great artists and friends coming in and out throughout the process. The conversations we had during that time led me to make this video. It's about releasing that pressure and weight of expectation and realising that you can let music speak for itself sometimes, and we can let go of the need to always be understood as artists. It's a thought that's really helping me to get over my creative block and I thought it might help others too!<br />
