About the Song: Due to a heightened-risk arising from immunosuppressing medication which Waiting Space (Chris Falconer) takes for an autoimmune disease - like many others, he has been undertaking the practice of 'cocooning', during COVID-19. ‘Cocoon’ takes its name from this - and it is the first solely-instrumental release from Falconer, as Waiting Space - having decided to leave the song lyric-less, as it’s likely the most 'hopeful' sounding piece of music I’ve written - and thought it was timely to leave it as is. The song began life as a demo entitled 'Piano Vs. Synth' - and this previous title sets the scene for how the track unfolds: starting with a gentle piano progression, before swelling-evolution into a hybrid of electronics and acoustics. The song rises towards a crescendo, eventually reaching a peak (musically attempting to reflect the breaking of a new dawn), before a returning-coda eases us into the new (normal) present.

'Unfurl' is the Waiting Space Christmas release 2017.

This year, with Unfurl, I've turned my attention to trying to the unpack the staple of the Christmas tree. Songs like 'O Tannenbaum'/'O Christmas Tree', 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree', and many more, focus on the subject, and are all acts I can never follow - but with Unfurl, I've tried to draw inspiration from some of the more poetically-licensed, and cinematic imagery that a tree can humbly conjure...
