About This Album
The Anatomy of Emotions began as a performance art project; a series of six musical pieces for piano, composed by Mark Sheeky to accompany videos designed by visual artist Sabine Kussmaul, and spoken-word parts written and performed by poet Tim Watson.

This recording is Mark Sheeky's first as a solo pianist, and extends the live Anatomy performance with additional material.

The music has been compared to that of Michael Nyman, melodic pieces with a dreamy atmosphere in the Romantic tradition. This music is interspersed with spoken parts by Tim Watson, and his voice fills the album with a feeling of liquid spirituality.
