A slow, gentle composition charting the story of my life as a musician and composer, and how I very nearly became a horse ❤️ॐ

A short Autumnal canon to celebrate the - albeit temporary - restoration of my studio and my return to composition which, I have to say, is something akin to and as necessary as breathing for me ❤️ॐ

Another repost due to my studio being still MIA; this one being a musical interpretation of the autumns of my childhood; filled with nature tables and beautiful Ladybird Books. I hope you enjoy it ❤️ॐ

Please forgive a repost; during this enforced silence one of the tracks I listen to most is this. It’s very gentle and easy on the ear and so, perhaps if you’re unfamiliar with it, you could try a listen? I hope it brings you joy ❤️ॐ

It feels very strange to be without a studio for the foreseeable; a large part of me is, if not missing, strangely silent. Why not check out this and many other compositions at soundcloud.com/ian-mcl13 ❤️ॐ

Music for one of my favourite occupations which is the act of dreaming and then the act of waking in order to write them down.

Memories of a coffee shop in town where I would go each day and meet with fellow creatives - writers, actors, filmmakers, musicians and the like - a place where many projects were planned; some even came to fruition but many remained dreams.
