Produced by Lola Perrin
Disc 1 (Tracks 1-10) By Peculiar Grace is a selection of ten pieces from her recent works brought together on one disc. Tracks 01, 05, 06, 07 were composed from writings by Hanif Kureishi and tracks 02, 03 and 04 were composed from words Lola collected when she interviewed 190 anonymous Londoners about their cultural roots and family histories. Tracks 08 and 10 are variations from Piano Suite VI: Theory of K and track 09 was composed from Phil Maxwell and Hazuan Hashim's East End I film featuring the microcosm of global society that is London's East End.
Disc 2 (Tracks 10-22) Piano Suite VIII: "ON THE GRADIENT ROAD" is made up of 12 compositions that form a portrait of one of Lola's good friends and fellow musicians as he continues his journey along the road after his sudden passing.
