Apart from my regular monthly music releases, I’ll be sending out the occasional extra newsletter.
Here is the first.
Six Rooms is the result of a conversation a friend and I had several years ago. What would happen if one of us started writing a piece of music and sent it to the other?
No instructions, no rules, no expectations.
They would add to it and send it back. This interaction would continue, back and forth, until one of us thought the piece was complete.
So that’s what we did.

Caretakers: Six Rooms by Shaun McNicholas and Glyn Lehmann
We composed using Logic Pro music production software. Our palette was piano, strings, synths, loops, French horn and whatever sounds we chose to record ourselves.
We agreed on a broad theme for each piece, but otherwise were only influenced by the music we each received.
With six pieces completed, we imagined each as a story unfolding in a room. Six rooms.

Beautifully stirring, quietly contemplative, thoughtfully engaging. Love it
