My relationship with the very wonderful ‘SEN’ is expanding and deepening.

SEN is ostensibly a company with 4K cameras on the International Space Station, allowing ‘real-time’ access to a view of Earth from space. But it’s much more than that : they are dedicated to raising awareness by inviting us to experience a deeper sense of our place in the universe.

My friend Charles Black (CEO) has been an admirer of my music since we first met 33 years ago, and I of his vision for SEN. We stayed in touch as Charles was in hot pursuit of a piece I wrote all those years ago, which was finally realised as “A Boy Travelling With His Mother” on the latest album AURI III : Candles & Beginnings. SEN has featured this and a piece called ‘The Procession’ ( from my album ‘The Madness of Crowds’) as part of their amazing work. So, just after Christmas, the pair of us talked about new music. And here is a 1-minute 24-second excerpt from a much larger work called ‘Sentient’. This is designed to quickly introduce people to what they have been missing. Such is the inspiration from the extraordinary reality being projected directly into my imagination; this new music will certainly appear on my next solo album. News on that will limp out as it happens…
