Evergreen, featuring the Up North Session Orchestra, is my most recent studio EP. The main challenge of this release was to bring the introvert solo piano texture and harmonic identity I had laid out in Plexus to a more extravert set of instrumentation. The strings give a striking new colour and allow for an extension of liberties both in texture and form. They gave me a wealth of new possibilities and allowed the piano to function as a harmonic lynchpin to the melody and tembre of the strings.
