A soft chord telling a morning 

On this gloomy, rainy and blustery Tuesday morning, a little nonsense loop inspired by a card from Oblique Strategies by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt, which I bought myself for Xmas the other day but then decided to open it a start using it. Hey ho !

Hum- Enantiadromia

Exploring Volcano Diaries: A Musical Journey

A little vintage video of Data track 4 from Volcano Diaries 1. Who knows what I had in mind when I wrote this track, as it was 20 years ago now, but the whole project, which comprises 2 cd’s, was based on a research project by the late Richard Batchelor MSc FGS geologist and the postcards he sent me at the time. He was researching ancient volcanic fragments in The Western Highlands. Both albums are available for download at Lindy Karpestra bandcamp

A Pianist’s Tale: The Magic of Time and Chords



about time
or the story of two pianists

listening into that time
beating piano keys beating time
from the where i was
then in that wilderness
the chords a kind of chorus
after many a summer

piano lessons peeling
into a day like today
and it’s dusting of snow
melting through spring flowers

i see a pianist waving at me
and in my waving back
i feel our palms drawing together
touching and becoming one
