about

Winner :: Best Jazz Album - 2017 The Age Music Victoria Awards

"A modern jazz triumph... Foster's new album places him alongside Australia's finest jazz composers and pianists." Chelsea Wilson (PBS FM)

PBS Feature Record - 29 May - 4 June 2017

---

This record represents more than a collection of music. It feels more akin to a personal enlightenment, drawing on experiences that evoked strong emotions across the spectrum. In each track, an experience and emotion are represented by one prominent colour which, even with the passing of time, instantly recalls its origin.

This was the inspiration for this record - emotion defined through colour. An emotion which resonated within me, that I could reflect on, could sit with, often for days or weeks at a time. Those emotions find an outlet in these songs, the composition of which, though credited to me, happened almost involuntarily; an innocent bystander as the music found its way to the piano and the page. It is by this metric, the emotional rawness and honesty, that I feel so proud of this record. It speaks of sadness, love, hope and fear, of happiness, regret and excitement.

Emotional expression is hard. For me, at least. Talking about emotion, particularly negative emotion, is a painful process. This record provides me freedom of expression, in a language with which I’m more comfortable.

This record is intensely personal. It has challenged me and left me exhausted, but at the same time, has inspired and energised me. I hope it will do the same for you. I hope this record will help you to pause, to reflect, to feel and to express your inner self as honestly and fearlessly as possible.

Thank you.
