Endless Climb by Lettie and David Baron

The album Endless Climb written in collaboration with David Baron began in 2017 and is more than a collaboration for I would argue I had less of a part to play in the overall result. I cannot reach those musical heights that David Baron reaches time and time again. I am an amateur; self-taught on many instruments and losing my classical training on the piano. However, the result of the album is something of an outsider art piece. Perhaps the innocence that prevails in the collaboration – we don’t seek prizes and we write honestly – is its greatest strength. As two different people on opposite sides of the Atlantic it is always a tremendously interesting result – our shared love of unusual instruments, film music, classical music informs this album in a way that is without pretension and perhaps has its own place somewhere in the musical universe. I am grateful to John at Here & Now Recordings for curating it. I learnt over the course of 5 years that less is more and the nine tracks which include two instrumentals hopefully does not outstay it’s welcome.
