about

This piece was and is an improvisation I recorded on 24th October 2012 on the Finnish upright piano I had at the time. Afterwards, I kept listening to the recording until it began to feel like something I had composed rather than extemporised, so I transcribed it, changing nothing. I re-recorded the piece on the same instrument for this track. The original title was in Finnish (I used to live in Finland long before I lived with the Finnish piano in South London) and it included a word that in English translation does not mean quite the same thing, ‘ruska’ – a word to describe the vivid autumn colours of Finland’s tree- and moss-clad landscape, which suddenly give way to icy winter darkness ‘when autumn is over’.
