SYNOPSIS
What's 'To Be Continued?' .... maybe the music, life, a potential relationship, a new venture; beginnings, hope.
The title leaves it open ended as a musical idea but also in terms of what it’s about. I prefer to not limit the listener’s experience or prescribe what I want the music to convey by giving it a narrative. It being such a slight work, I saw it as an impressionistic exercise and set out to capture a moment/evoke a feeling. If it speaks to you what it says is entirely personal, it’s your side of the connection - instinctive and intuitive.
