Standing Right in Front of Me

An independent book project[email protected]

A book of conversations about
music, memory and time

Standing Right in Front of Me is a non-fiction book built around a series of twelve personal conversations exploring how a body of music accompanies a life - how it is first encountered, and how its meaning evolves over time.The focus is the music of the Beatles, approached not as biography or criticism, but as something lived with - and at different moments in life, newly immediate and significant.Each chapter is based on a single conversation, shaped into a reflective essay and approved by the participant.

Further chapters are currently in development with a small and deliberately varied group of contributors.
