Mark Williamson attended the second Churchscapes gig and was impressed with what he heard. “What was amazing was the way from the bits and pieces of the first seconds of the soundscapes they way they suddenly came together. The first piece reminded me a lot of one of the tracks on The Equatorial stars. The second larger piece started with shorter almost frippertronic style notes...After a little while this piece too became more full bodied and swelled to astonishing proportions - the amount of music coming from a single person was quite amazing... It was during this last piece a burning question occurred to me: "Does it hurt?". This music ached with loss and mortality. Truly beautiful.” There’s something gentle but remarkable unfolding in this Evensong - words such as longing, rapture and blessedness come to mind but can’t really do it justice. Music such as this is a gift to a world in troubled times.
