“My Hailstorm” is his more personal and autobiographic piece during a moment of transition in his career in Belfast. From the calm to the storm and from this to the tides as a symbol of change of the current situation and its temporality. It never rains and doesn’t stop, everything flows, everything eventually passes and a new cycle starts removing the rest of the storm.
