We drink to forget the coming storm

by Leyland Kirby

supported by

mon1ka Late night drinking at a window music. Can not recommend enough if you own good headphones or a good HI-FI set of speakers. (hell even if you don't its still worth it!) Favorite track: Wdtftcs - One.

diamondiskewl loooong relaxing percussion piano instruments !!!
(very good album, wonderfully executed, the same instruments over and over don't feel repetitive at all meshing together really well, helped me out alot I was feeling down, not at all a depressive work like some of kirby's others can be) Favorite track: Wdtftcs - One.

Resonances & Words A piece of art/peace.
A truly emotional masterpiece!

Original release information from 2014 >>

''We drink to forget the coming storm'' is collection of forty tracks released on my fortieth birthday.

For just forty days and forty nights it is available for free (and for a donation) as a thank-you for your support and interest in my works.

For those wishing to pay for this album you can.

As this is released for my birthday I would suggest the price of a birthday whisky to be a fair price for this collection should you wish to pay. Then I feel we will raise the virtual glass connected together for good health and fortunes.

Running in total at over three hours. It is not a fixed release and should be used sparingly in your own favourite track combinations.

It can be used to uplift on the low days, to gain strength and clear the mind. Each track combines the same elements piano, digital strings and synthesized choir. There are dark twists and light passages. It leads you somewhere whilst going nowhere.

A reflection of a time passing, a glimpse back into my own past, a look forward into the forthcoming abyss. Recorded through the darkest night hours during periods of disillusionment. There were no second takes, so we enjoy the errors and misadventures.

Like life itself wrong notes may be hit, there maybe the odd distortion, melodies drift and we hope to gain strength from the introspective nature of the work. We cover no new ground. We wear our hearts on our sleeves.

Wishing you all the best from Krakow where I raise the glass of good spirit.

Recorded by Leyland Kirby at Bochenska, Krakow in 2014.
