The inspiration behind the new single - ‘Sacred Stillness’

Thanks for checking out my new single, Sacred Stillness.

I began composing this new piece in early May. A time when the human hustle and bustle had ground to a halt and nature in many parts of the world was feeling the profound quiet and stillness as a result of human inactivity. 



Remarkable stories started emerging of wildlife wandering into deserted towns, clear and calm waterways in Venice, Pelicans wandering the streets near Buckingham Palace, to name just a few of the many stories being shared.


For me, this global feeling of quiet was a precious gift of peace to do what I love the most - be still, compose and create. So with the broader stillness all around, I felt a powerful focus and the inspiration to compose a new piece.

Dwelling in the creative realm is a soul strengthening place that provides me with a profound peace of mind that goes far beyond active thought, to a state of flow. My hope, is that this state of being lives on in this new piece for you to enjoy - to come full circle so to speak! 



With so much instability in the world right now, I find the simple things in life provide stability and comfort. Whether it be having a restful night's sleep, reading a good book, going for an exhilarating and refreshing surf or playing the guitar - finding ways to bring peace and stillness into my life in a rapidly changing world has never been so important. 



I sincerely hope you enjoy the new single and that it brings some welcome peace and tranquility into your day. 



Warm wishes, Ian
