Love+Loss is a collection of music written by Hawke's Bay native, Aslan, as a creative release in response to the rigidity of his technical training at NZSM. Here they allow inspiration to flow from emotion, resulting in simple, meaningful, sensitive pieces that honour and celebrate his own deeply personal experiences.
To complement this new approach, they brought together a group of musicians, the Rugs, who embody the caring, sensitive, joyful, and empathetic ideals emphasised in the music. Rather than merely playing, they embrace it, and help it grow by pouring their own emotions and experiences into it.
