about

Late last year I took some time away to write a short collection of piano and string pieces named 'Of Sleep and Time'.

I traveled to a small coastal area of New Zealand to record a beautiful piano I discovered, along with touches of bird song and rain, and added a small group of string players to complete the compositions.

"You’d be quick to draw comparisons with Nils Frahm’s early days, but it’s Ólafur Arnalds and Otto A. Totland who’ll be witnessing a similar young prodigy tread in the same, gentle footsteps." - A Strangely Isolated Place

Slow Meadow
by Slow Meadow

supported by 19 fans who also own “Of Sleep and Time”

Slow Meadow's S/T LP debut is a deftly layered recording. It presents a melancholic yet serene tonality. The tracks and their languid flow are wrapped in classical ambient colors. Of note is the gorgeous cello of Aimee Norris and the violin accompaniment of Andy Shelton, Joshua Ello, and Alia Gonzales. Nice introduction. Brilliant debut. Gary Figueroa
