What does it feel like to sit down at a piano, with nothing but one’s experiences, to record in real time a multi-part, improvised recital? Like taking the first step on to a desert terrain of windswept hills, oases and the constant threat of blinding sandstorms? That description is purely speculative but may be a good frame of mind to inhabit when hitting play on Alister Spence’s Always Ever.
