Songbook for piano (2018-2023) is a set of pieces inspired by the Great American Songbook. Some of the pieces quote the referenced tune audibly, while others embed the original in a less overt way. The project has been developed in collaboration with pianist Thomas Kotcheff and videographer Louis Ng.
