Sleep Tight‘Stilhed’ (meaning 'silence' in Danish) comprises a series of neoclassical piano miniatures. Each piece portrays a particular mood, and over all the release is characterized by nostalgia, warmth and intimacy. Jolliffe's sounds are well suited for studying, sleeping and relaxing - but no doubt the music also deserves the listener's full attention.
I love composing piano miniatures. The aim is to get close to the listener by focusing on a particular mood. Nothing does this better than the sound and warmth of the piano – it is intimate and touching without being overpowering.
