"Olena" arrives 2.5.25
Olena" – the first single from my new album "Illuminator" – will be released on the 2nd of May, 2025.
One of several pieces written and recorded during my 2024 residency at the Arvo Pärt Centre in Estonia, "Olena" was inspired by a resident artist of the same name from Ukraine.
The stunning cover art is a detail from a work entitled 'Interference Pattern #7531' by local artist Vivian Cooper Smith.
From an album one-sheet I commissioned by journalist Nick Buckley:
“Opening with a haunting, bell-like motif, digitally synthesised to evoke the centre’s chapel, the track is a tribute to human resilience and the moments of connection that can be found between strangers from opposite ends of the planet.”
Pre-save the track to ensure you get to hear it first on release day.
