about

If you like my music, if you get enjoyment from it, please support me by purchasing it. This is the only way I make an income.

As the name suggests this is a diary of sorts. I wrote each piece in a day (or across a pair of days if I started late). Each track seemed to express something that happened.

The pieces are simple, often really one idea. This seems to reflect the times too as no one is willing to put time into anything.

We were all in Lockdown in our homes due to the fears over COVID-19. If you read this at another time, this was a new variant of the cold/flu virus that leaped out of China. Suddenly everyone was terrified and global culture went into a funny sort of flat-spin as people all tried to run away - whilst maintaining exactly everything we already had. Oddly toilet paper was the first thing that people panic bought. Not food or even vodka but one of the least important things. One day when we went shopping, there were lots of canned goods like beans, but no crackers or similar party food!

My prediction, this event will be seen in the future as a great embarrassment. Sure, everyone who overreacted will either try to say it was all a fizzer because they managed it so well with their paranoid measures or they will say, oh that, it never really happened like that.

I noticed that everyone was a bit afraid of the electronics. Composing helped me understand how to mix better. ... more
