An alternative (and occasional) music posting highlighting something out of the ordinary. Perhaps of limited appeal, unconventional, experimental or just far-out ! Call it what you like (or switch it off, if you don't like). 

In this era of countless playlists for every mood that takes us, helping pass away the hours, it's not easy to remember what was requested when we asked Alexa to play something "relaxing, soothing classical, but not christmassy" a few weeks back. Hearing England's contemporary composer Alexis Ffrench playing 'Bluebird' from his studio album 'Evolution' certainly connected with us.

Teaming up with his daughter Savannah, this visually striking video showcases her in an impassioned dance performance, intercut with a spotlight-soaked portrait of Alexis playing the piano. He says

"There’s so much trauma around us right now and I wanted to share a moment of calm, beauty and consolation. There isn’t enough of that in the world".

And an antidote to the inevitable self-isolation of: "Stuck Inside the Flat with the Virus Blues Again"
