TRACKS

One of the things i really wanted to do here was to share some of the thoughts behind why these tracks made it to the album and some didn't.  

Rarely was it a quality issue; in fact there are some better produced tracks that will be appearing soon on a special supplementary album to PfAC called 'Postcards That Never Got Sent', which I hope will be out in the next few weeks.

As the album is a very personal statement, and you don't have the benefit of lyrics to try and unpack, I thought it might be interesting to look at how these tracks had been inspired by 'Cordelia moments' in my own life, and so why they sound the way they do.

I've split the notes into three sections for each track:  an exploration of the moods and meanings of the piece; how it is constructed sonically; and some of the production and arrangement issues faced.

To visit the production & writing notes, click on the track's title. (keep checking back as not all pages uploaded yet, it takes a little time to remember these days!)
