Melbourne-based pianist and composer Nat Bartsch has written a beautiful album of quiet, peaceful piano music - perfect for babies and their parents. Here she talks about the theory behind music to relax babies, her process of writing the album, and what it was like to write music with one hand while holding an infant in the other.

Nat Bartsch spent a decade writing, recording, performing and touring with her jazz ensemble Nat Bartsch Trio. But she has now shifted her focus to the creation of chamber music and solo piano music combining post-classical and contemporary jazz influences. When she became a parent herself in 2017 she began to consider the potential of composing a new set of works specifically for babies and their parents (particularly those who find repeats of Twinkle Twinkle on the baby monitor infuriating).

The result is 'Forever, and No Time At All', a gorgeous album of quiet, hypnotic, simple piano pieces - often written with one hand while her baby Will was in the other. Quiet but full of personality, intricately-composed but beautifully simple, background music that will make you sit up and listen, Forever, and No Time At All is a fascinating and soothing experience that will intrigue children of all ages.
