‘Never Enough Time’, the fifth single from Life Through Loss is out now.

It’s sweet and simple, like your happiest memories—yet just as fleeting. Every musical phrase seems to end a little too soon, leaving you wanting more.

I’m delighted to be featured on a compilation released by Less Records called Fugle - A Keybird Compilation alongside wonderful artists like Tom Blankenberg, Simeon Walker, and Raffael Seyfried, all performing on the unique Keybird XI piano.

My track was improvised on the day of recording and is called “Brushing The Strings”. It’s available now wherever you stream music.

‘Beautiful Ache’, the fifth single from Life Through Loss, is out now. The music portrays longing and reflects the simple truth that there’s no grief without love.

The third single from Life Through Loss is called ‘Just Another Day (Without You)’. It captures the fleeting peace of waking before the memory of loss rushes in.

My new single is a collaboration. Simeon Walker have known each other for getting close to a decade now. I love his music and really value his friendship, so I'm really delighted that we worked together on this piece.

My simple harmony is enhanced by Sim's melodic interjections, a nice metaphor for the many conversations about music and life that we've shared.

I've got a new single out. It's called 'Rethinking Bach'.

My latest piece, "Outlines Through Mist", is out now.

My latest single, "Dust of Snow" is out now. This one is inspired by the poem of the same name by Robert Frost, and was written in collaboration with a friend of mine, Mari Kanki.

My new track The Foehn Wind is out now. This swirling, unpredictable composition takes its name from the hot, dry wind that flows down from mountains. As I was writing it, I was thinking of balmy evenings drinking wine on a sun-baked terrace, looking out towards mountain ranges standing tall in the distance.

It has some unusual chord progressions and is in both 6/8 and 3/4 time. Sheet music is available!

My latest track is out now. The piece is part of Clemens Christian Poetzsch’s and Reentko Dirks’ latest album, Collateral Flow, and there's a vinyl that features my piece alongside music from other wonderful musicians like Cenk Erdoğan and Sven Helbig.

My new elegy is written for my friend Donna, who we called Doon. She died suddenly and unexpectedly a couple of years ago and it really shook me up. In this post I explain the composition process, talk about what I loved about my about my wonderful friend, and explore grief more generally. The full piece is available wherever you stream music — click here.

This Friday I released a new Elegy. This one was written for Anna, to honour her Oma Ursel. Stream it here.

My new track, an Elegy for Colin, is out now.

If you'd like me to write a piece for your late partner, don't hesitate to ask. You can find out more about the project here: garrethbrooke.com/elegies  

My new single, Enkindled Spring, is out now! It’s about the feeling of life returning to the Earth after a long winter and is named for D H Lawrence’s poem of the same name (click “read more” to find out more). You can stream it here.

This is one of my liveliest pieces that I've released recently and it switches between A dorian and F# minor, in what I think is one of the coolest modulations I've ever written. It's great fun to play! Sheet music is available.
