New Music - Listen Now

…..

“These songlets are a series of passing thoughts. They were mostly recorded in my office, improvised, over a few days. Some of these are based on ideas I’ve had floating around for years, others arrived in this moment. They are wonky and honest. You can hear my cat purring quite loudly in one of the tracks, which I love.

I usually work with groups of live singers and make music specifically for performance. It has been a joyful experiment to work with David Ridley to focus on the quiet detail of these songs and try to capture their intimacy.” - Verity Standen, December 2023.
