Dear friends, supporters, listeners! Hello! And may this sublime season of ‘mellow fruitfulness’ (thank you Keats) find you integrating the past pleasure of a sun-filled summer.

It's my delight to be in touch to let you know that I've been working on something new—an album of songs based on texts by a handful of English and American poets from recent centuries, writers of a mystical-romantic variety—and am in the throes of recording it and of gathering in a few other musicians to see the music to the finish line. I've created a campaign on my website (also refreshed!) with a video that explains more about the record, and how to be involved in helping it to see the light. There are options for pre-orders (vinyl/CD) as well as patron choices where you can support a side musician, sponsor the launch gig, or otherwise donate to support the endeavour. You'll find it all here:

In a world where 10,000 streams on a platform like Spotify earns about £20 (brings tears to the eyes, truly), independent artists can but fall back on the passion and good will of those who appreciate and derive value from the work that they do, the art they make, in order to press on. 

Bless you. I hope you enjoy the video and are inspired by the project, and of the prospect of hearing these poetic voices brought to life in a new way.

Please don't hesitate to write to me also, with any questions or thoughts!

Miriam
