All money made from this short (mostly) instrumental album will be donated to the mental health charity Mind (www.mind.org.uk)

These 9 abstract and lo-fi pieces were recorded during the summer when focusing on creating them helped guide me through a difficult period of anxiety, panic and a regular dissociative feeling called derealisation (www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/dissociative-disorders/)

This was made at a time when doing something creative in a quick and immediate fashion felt vital, and doing so helped carry me to a new place. I’m releasing them now as a cathartic measure, and as a message for others who may be going through difficult times themselves.

What I told myself at the time, what I can tell you now: You are not in danger. You are not going insane. You are not alone.
