As (what I believe to be) an integral part of the “Environments” release, comes a booklet that describes the various pieces, my Patreon patrons who are the inspiration for them, and the process that I used to create them. Because the overall theme of “Environments” is “music about artchitecture” which doesn’t seem on first glance to be something that really exists, the booklet, in describing the process of creation of the album, makes it clear just what the music is, what the tracks mean to the people who shared their favorite places with me, and ultimately, what they mean to me as a way of expressing my friendship and appreciation for each of them. As I wrote each of these pieces, I felt a sort of psychic closeness to each of them, exploring places that meant a lot to each of them personally.

However, because of our modern digital-only distribution systems, with the exception of iTunes Music, it’s impossible to distribute booklets with albums any more, so I’m putting it up here, and making sure that there’s a link to it wherever possible with the album when distributed electronically. Anyone is welcome to look into it, maybe it will inspire you to listen to the album, who knows? It was truly a labour of love, and I sincerely hope that everyone who listens to it is moved by it. Please feel free to read and/or download the booklet below.

Thank-you for listening!
