My songs without words are a diary entry of sorts of my year 2020. The content ranges from love songs to laments to songs of protest, but the form is the 19th century album, which I channeled to tell the story of a year spent mostly at home, much of it at the piano.

songs without words was commissioned by and is dedicated to Bruce Levingston.

The work was recorded by Levingston on his album “Without Words”, available from Sono Luminus and on your streamer of choice.
