All quiet in the room, waiting to begin. Guitar resting patiently on its stand. Congas still. Keyboard glowing softly in the gloom. And me. Breathing, noticing, savouring the silence. I wanted to capture that moment of fertile void before the process starts, sounds slowly turning to music and ideas tumbling around like unruly children at a party… until order and structure steadily draw out music from the chaos. Cacophony to symphony.
