To me, music is about more than just the notes written on the page. It’s about what we say and the context we bring to the sounds to others’ ears both silent and heard. I started this recording project with pieces I enjoyed playing, and thought contrasted in a way that was also interesting to listen to as well. A mosaic is a picture or pattern produced by arranging together small colored pieces of hard material, such as stone, tile, or glass – this is the concept of this recording.

Thank you for listening – I hope you enjoy it!

Sincerely,
