"When my first child was born, I played piano for her almost daily. A lot of days when she was an infant, I would hold her in one arm while playing piano with the other hand. One day she kind of sang along and made a repetitive noise to what I was playing. I approximated this as best as I could with my right hand in the “verses” of this song, “First Melody” that we wrote together. This album is for her, to have a document of the music from the beginning of her life. Making a physical version of this album is so important, so she can hold and listen to this album on vinyl in 20 years. Who knows what music consumption will be like decades from now?"
