about

This is my first solo classical piano album of compositions i have written over a 5 year period since i started. The name of the album was inspired from a book called 'The universe from nothing' by Lawrence Krauss and is inspired by the birth of the universe. It is also inspired by my creative process when writing these pieces. As such there are a lot of space and earth themes that inspired the structure, melody and harmony in these compositions. I hope you enjoy this music as much as i have enjoyed writing and recording it.
