ABOUT
A word from Mike:
The music on this album has meant different things to me at different times of my life. In one sense, it is all music that is intimately familiar - the music I grew up playing in a family of classical musicians. Contrastingly, it is also the repertoire I deliberately left behind as a young professional to explore other styles and musical experiences. When I play this music now, it feels like returning back to my childhood home, but as an adult. I know what is around every corner, and have countless memories associated with each bar, yet at the same time, I’m taller now, and everything looks different from this angle.
