The Front by Alannah Thornburgh
This release is a homage to minimalist composer and pianist Conor Walsh, who was a profound influence on my musical development as a young musician and whose words of advice and encouragement still resonate with me today. I learned The Front a few years ago for a performance at Conor’s posthumous album launch ‘The Lucid’. It was a difficult yet deeply fulfilling challenge for me; Conor made it sound so easy, which epitomises just how great of a composer he was. I hope that I have managed to do it justice.
