about

'Mentalese' is a term used to describe what some people believe to be the language of thought; the concepts and and ideas that are swimming around inside our heads. This album represents just that. This is what is going on inside my head, put down on CD for you all to hear. Music has a way of expressing those thoughts and feelings that can't easily be expressed using words. But music is also able to conjure up different thoughts and expressions in those who hear it that can be completely different to others' or even the artist's. This may not just be an expression of my own thoughts and feelings, but also of yours. May you therefore embrace this music as your own, allowing it to meld with your own Mentalese.
But if that all sounds a bit too philosophical for you, then I hope you just enjoy the music.
