THE PLANETS & HUMANITY
PIANO REFLECTIONS

TANYA EKANAYAKA

‘The framework for The Planets & Humanity – Piano Reflections whilst conceptually an extension of my previous albums, came to me in a dream in mid-2018. The majority of the works evolved in 2020 in my apartment in Edinburgh (Scotland), during the first eight months of lockdown solitude owing to the COVID-19 global pandemic, with one of the works and parts of three others having evolved in 2018 and 2019. The works were concluded on 14th October 2020. It is with humility and gratitude that I share this musical representation of my personal journey during a particularly difficult period in human history, not only as an artiste, but as a human being in solidarity with the rest of humanity .’ –⁠ ⁠Dr Tanya Ekanayaka
