about

The original Latin intimus meant 'inmost, innermost, deepest'. I think of intimacies collectively as states of deep presence, of inhabiting a space or moment with senses fully alert, yet with the calm that comes with a deepening of trust - whether trust in life or in another. In this context, intimacy includes qualities of openness, vulnerability and tenderness, a shedding of defenses & judgments, and our habitual opinions or perceptions. Intimacy also includes how we share our rawest selves, our ugliness, ignorance and awkwardness, our shames and fears.

The music on Intimacies specifically explores intimacy in the context of a lovers' relationship, with its many unfolding layers as it deepens over time. Using piano, cello and tenor horn for tonal warmth and closeness, with subtle addition of electronics, each piece illustrates some of the different intimacies that can emerge within an enduring, complex relationship, where both partners are committed to the deeper exploration of self in relation to each other.
