This poignant & emotional body of work features five tracks, including original compositions Peace, St Andrews and When The Bells Ring, inspired by the untouched beauty of nature, and gorgeously arranged versions of Bach’s Sheep May Safely Graze and Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.

Alexis’ deep reverence for nature shines through in every note of his solo piano EP, drawing inspiration from his personal experiences exploring the stunning landscapes of the Scottish Highlands with his youngest son Jobim. Alexis effortlessly weaves together his interpretation of the soothing sounds of nature with his signature classical-soul style. 

The EP is not only a celebration of the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world, but also a call to action to protect our planet for future generations.
