Released

I've worked with Alan Hinde and Stuart Long for many months to achieve this album and then I was in Japan when the release happened.  Too bad but unavoidable in the circumstances.  Nonetheless we remain pretty chuffed with the outcome.  Alan is a composer and has released considerable music before.  This album comprises the first 12 of 24 preludes in all the major and minor keys, plus one added tune.   Another album is coming (mostly already written) with the remaining 12 preludes/keys.  Stuart performed the preludes and I recorded, mixed and mastered.  The delay was a function of Stuart's time to practice the tunes amongst his other matters.  And they were not all so easy; some were positively challenging.  But they came into being, the CDs have been printed, the preludes are in the process of being made available as printed music and the recorded versions are about to be distributed to a music-hungry world.  Perhaps a music-hungry world with a surfeit of calories.  CDs are available from Alan and the album will soon be available on the various streaming services.  Check it out.  Stuart describes Alan as our local Chopin and he's the one who'd know.  A lengthy and satisfying project. 

Water Works (album) is a series of 12 preludes (and an additional odalisque) composed by Alan Hinde (composer), performed by Stuart Long (piano) and recorded by Eric Pozza (mix/master).
