ABOUT THIS RECORD

The title Music for Listening and Relaxation was inspired by an old record cover I found in an op shop in the beautiful Blue Mountains .

It seemed to encapsulate the mood of the songs we were writing at the time, and our obsession with nature photographer Michael K Morcombe . When I say “we” I’m also referring to Michael den Elzen who, amongst other things, was a member of Rebecca’s Empire and Schnell Fenster.

We produced and wrote this album together with Michael playing most of the instruments; something he does regulary as a soundtrack composer . Lyrically I was inspired by the power of nature, love, the fragile beauty of planet earth . 

Music for Listening and Relaxation is atmospheric pop with lush harmonies and hypnotic feels.
