Waves of Love is fast, loud and uplifting. As a rock and metal musician at my core, big noise, insistent riffs and the desire to feel exhilarated sit at the centre of everything I write. This piece is testament to that.

The initial draft of Waves of Love was finished the day before my 30th birthday (in the middle of the first lockdown) – at the time, I had no idea how far away the finished piece was! The composition was finally finished two years later at the Tanglewood Music Center in Massachusetts, taking it all the way from the lush greens of the Welsh valleys to the rolling greens of the Berkshire Hills.
