about

The album title of as it happens sets the tone for the auditory ephemeron that is this stream-of-consciousness, gentle purge of ambient grooves, minimal beats, spoken word samples and poetic piano lines.

This debut is defined by the momentum of impermanence, and the collage of life as observed by a thinking, living and breathing artist: moments of introspective inhales oscillate with cathartic exhalation; the ruminations of Maya Angelou and Patti Smith punctuated by the channeled abandon of deep driving beats. Distilled piano reminiscent of the new classical masters are the quietly guiding force in tracks like a splendour only partially imagined, tinged with a haunting ethereality, then, as though we are soundtracking a day teeming with thoughts, encounters and the new, we instinctively transit into rolling broken beats in mya, with the album culminating in the bare intimacy of where you are now (in the artist’s words: ‘me playing the piano and humming along on one lonely winter night in Berlin’).

The artist Grace is in a transient and meditative state of mind, and just as Smith declares in the most absolute disappearance - ‘I’m definitely into the future’ - so are we, drawn into Grace’s beautiful stream and flowing into what is now, and yet to be.


- Juliet Burnett, April 2020
