ALT The climate crisis is probably too large to be thought of as a theme. It affects everyone’s lives all the time, and increasingly so.
Without preaching loudly, my music asks us to listen well. It is more often than not connected to nature, its shapes, its rhythms, and its fundamental message to us about the need for care in the world.
