solo piano
"A beautiful collection of melodically driven solo piano pieces - each one starting down a path that you think you know the end of, but then twisting into new and unexpected areas. Subtle voicings and elegant turns of phrase make this EP a really absorbing listen."

Meg Morley recorded her debut solo piano EP Through the Hours in London on a beautiful Steinway Model D, at Master Chord Studio, January 2017. The original compositions featured were inspired by her time living in London and draw upon her training as both a classical and an improvising pianist. The pianism ranges from poetic to powerful and displays virtuosic moments within an improvisatory style that utilises the harmonic voicings and sensibilities of contemporary jazz. A broad emotional palette and an array of tonal colour are used throughout the EP, and the title track evokes a haunting sketch of a famous London landmark.
The EP was well-received after being released in March 2017, and successfully launched on June 7 at London's 1901 Arts Club. Another recording then shortly followed: the Meg Morley Trio, formed in April 2017, released their debut album, Can't Get Started, in July 2017.
