Husband and wife composing and producing team, James Morgan and Juliette Pochin, work in a huge variety of fields, from composing film scores to promoting live concerts at the Royal Albert Hall to producing UK album chart hits.
Piano Hands is a simple concept – compositions and new interpretations of well known popular and classical pieces, all written for piano duet and creating a sound world of relaxing and atmospheric calm, perfect for meditation and mindfulness playlists. This is their first album release as a piano duet, showcasing their own interpretations of the most popular Christmas songs and carols.
James was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson’s at the age of just 42 and Piano Hands is a response to the increasing difficulties he experiences managing his condition. He uses the piano as therapy, to prolong the function in his hands. Together they’ve written and arranged music to play as a piano duo, so they can control how many notes James has to play with his left hand and Juliette is able to step in and cover James when his Parkinson’s intervenes. James has noticed an additional benefit: his symptoms are less debilitating while he is playing. Wondering whether the focus required to play was responsible, he took a course in Mindfulness and found it helped to manage the pain he lives with. His responses have resulted in funding from Parkinson’s UK for a new trial into Mindfulness and Parkinson’s.
