This is the first record Henner completed in fatherhood. Since his daughter was born, life changed in so many ways and as of then, joy holds a new meaning for him. Wonder is a new feeling. It has changed his perspective on life and the world, and reminded him of life’s preciousness, even in our times of conflict and unhappiness. Fatherhood - especially to a newborn - doesn't leave a great deal of time for creating music but, even though all the challenges, he found the time to write a new album for marimba.
“I dedicate this music to the people of Ukraine, in sympathy and solidarity with all they endure. It's a heartbreaking thought, that my daughter was born into a world at war, where peace and unity and brotherhood are forgotten like flues of sand trickling away into the sea.”

Like next-level George Winston.
Not t just good.

A sea of gentle poetic compositions ebbing and flowing over soft sands. Uplifting and reaffirming. These sounds salve my CPTSD, driving the clatter of noises from my mind and replacing them with shards of sunlight cast adrift on waters welcoming the setting sun. ES
