Grandma's Song (Single)

'Grandma's Song' was written when Pat was just 12 years old and was rediscovered by chance almost 10 years later (just in time for the recording session for Eldorado). 

​

The track is accompanied by a beautiful music video by Florent Tourvieille (FLOMOS Production), filmed in the Wombat State Forest, about an hour north-west of Melbourne. The video was intended to bring peace and contemplation to viewers in the midst of an uncertain and challenging time. 

​

"There’s something in these woven melodies and their relaxed timing that calms the soul when peace is needed most" 

- Headphone Commute (UK)

Eldorado

Now Available on Vinyl/CD/Digital

When travel plans fell through whilst studying in Denmark, Pat Jaffe booked a session to record his debut release at Masterkey Studios in Reykjavík. The resulting album mainly consists of his compositions for solo piano, although two also feature the stellar Icelandic chamber ensemble, Siggi String Quartet.

Featuring stunning photography by Krystal Neumann, design by Chad Harris and liner notes by Timothy Stevens. Vinyl produced in Thornbury by Program Records. 

Hannah (Single)

Written a few days after the passing of a beautiful friend, this track features the sublime playing of Iceland's Siggi String Quartet.  

​

​

"The initial trading of melody between cello and piano, and the effortless transitions between C major and E-flat major, create a deeply sympathetic and tender sound-world. The violin’s appropriation of the melody back in C major, then the use of some solo piano, and contrasts in the string registers (harmonics and everything!), are all emblematic of this album’s exploring and creating spirit."
