about

Seascapes for solo banjo inspired by 'Mare Incognitum' - selected works from Cantos I & II by Nic de Jesus.

To view Nic's work please visit: www.nicdejesus.com

'Like so many of the most fruitful projects I’ve been involved in it’s hard to pin-point exactly how they came about. Mare Incognitum is no different. Over months of idle chatting, sharing of ideas and the heroic consumption of tea and coffee, Nic and I now find ourselves presenting a body of work that we are both immensely proud of.

Why banjo?

I was privileged enough to view the initial studies for this exhibition and they provided me with the idea of creating nine ‘miniatures’ for solo banjo. There was something about the plaintiveness and sonic possibilities of the instrument that immediately clicked and from the opening phrase of ‘I.’ I never looked back.'

- James Fiddes Smith, Nov 2015

Within You is a World of Spring
by Alice Zawadzki

supported by 4 fans who also own “Seascapes”

No other album of anything close to this quality will be released before the end of the year, so I can safely say this really is one of the three best albums of 2019 (Brad Mehldau's 'Finding Gabriel' & Rachel Grimes' 'The Way Forth' are the other two). Wonderful compositions, gorgeous voice, superb musicianship #simplyfabulous John Ferguson
