about

The name ‘Hope’ was given during the recording of this piece, and perhaps more than at any other time in my life I was using art as an antidote: I was in high stress and poor physical health for an extended period around the time it was recorded. The keyboard use is probably related to this, in that I remember my family had a piano for a time when I was about ten years old, and I took lessons for a few months, and liked it; but for reasons now unknown, the piano was removed and never returned. Looking back, I can see that using a keyboard (even if not a real piano) in a piece I called ‘Hope,’ is consistent: I had hope that I would get what I wanted: which primarily was to be healthy again—and at some level that involved getting to play the piano again. Beyond that emotional complexity, the piece is relatively straightforward....
