This single is part of a larger project originally titled Blind Duets, now renamed “I Think I Heard”.

The concept emerged from my lessons with David Tronzo, who would begin playing a song or chord progression the moment I picked up my guitar—no warning, no discussion.
I had to dive in, responding instantly and intuitively.

That experience taught me to approach improvisation without hesitation, without fear, and with complete presence.

I adapted that approach using a loop pedal and no effects—just a borrowed guitar and amp, videoed straight onto my phone—while back in the UK caring and for my father during his final illness. During that time, I recorded six raw, unplanned duets – responding immediately to an improvised loop.

Now that I’m back in New Zealand, I plan to complete the project by recording six more. The entire work is inevitably coloured by the emotional weight of my Dad’s decline, and shaped by the need to turn that into something meaningful—a kind of improvised tribute.
