Lighthouse 

Maureen Batt and Grej come together for Lighthouse. Lighthouse was created from letters and journals written on a journey through grief. The music was composed by Grej in collaboration with Maureen. Lighthouse fuses classical and electronic genres, using voice, piano, harmonium, synthesizer, and field recordings. This music is for anyone who has experienced the loss of someone close.

 

Nominated for Classical Recording of the Year and Classical Composer of the Year (Grej) by ECMAs in 2022.
