Playful, uplifting, with a sometimes crystalline beauty. This is the second album of improvised piano music by Geoff Cawthorn, playing around with themes and melodies that reflect a rich tapestry of emotions. Keeping things even more simple and honest, these pieces use space and subtle changes in register to present quiet yet forceful statements.

A number of pieces, such as Miles House and Night Garden were written as film music, and evoke images and places, landscapes and emotional states.

Where most of the pieces are recorded live in one take "Night Garden" makes use of overdubs and echo effects, creating a haunting soundtrack. Others, like "Time in a Minor Key" and "Moon Cloud" push the music into an atmospheric, cinematic space, drawing on jazz notes and chords.
