Releasing Time Ticks for Christmas seemed the perfect opportunity to celebrate the passing of time; a moment to remember those we miss, those who shaped our lives, and those who left too soon, says Emily.
This is my chance to share this intimate recording with you and to remind us that heartfelt memories and the passing of time can help centre us as we contemplate the importance of connection.
“Nothing is left adrift, left unfelt, left unsaid — time is on our side.”
“In Time Ticks, I vocalise these reflective and tender moments with reassuring meditative and hypnotic beats knowing that with a song and an open heart we can move forward uplifted.”
