In developing the REVISIONS concept, there’s an element of the project I’ve neglected mentioning for the same reasons I neglect mentioning it in everyday conversation – it just makes me sound crazy. For the people who know me well this is no surprise.

Pink isn’t a colour I usually associate with my music.
