The Glare

Composed and arranged by P. Bévort. This is a basement recording where I play all the instruments myself. It's work in progress. Probably leading to some kind of release somehow in the future..........

Emissions

Piksel - Crackling Roads - Emissions (SEAGRAVE)

A full-cast dramatisation of Neil Gaiman's magical retellings of the Norse myths, inviting us into a world of gods and monsters, tricks and trust, fiery endings and new beginnings

'And the game begins anew…'

Meet the trickster god Loki and his astonishing children – the giant wolf Fenrir, Jormungundr the snake that encircles the world, and Hel, the little girl who grows up to be Queen of the dead. Here, too, is Odin the all-father, who sacrificed his eye to see the future; Thor the thunderer, who defends Asgard with his fearsome strength and mighty hammer; and Freya the understandably angry, most beautiful of the gods and always being gambled for by unwanted suitors.

From the beginning of the universe in fire and ice, to the very end of the world, Ragnarok, these enthralling tales of gods, goddesses, dwarves and giants bring the ancient myths to vigorous life.

Diana Rigg, Derek Jacobi, Colin Morgan, Natalie Dormer and Neil Gaiman himself are among the stellar cast in these spellbinding stories of old betrayals – and new hope.

Welcome to our first official single "To die in winter". It is now available on all streaming and download platforms (Spotify, Deezer, Amazon music, YouTube Music, Apple music, Google play and many more).  We hope you like our new work.

To die in winter

The human word is like a splittered vessel
On which I drum the strangest melodies

Maybe bears will find them nice to dance for
While what I want is to move the stars above me

And so we keep to live misunderstanding
These clumby words performed by our tongues

To die in winter
Is better than 
Living in spring
Without a care
To die in winter
Is not so bad
As going alone
In spring ahead
To die in winter
I can explain
Brighter the sun
Bigger the vail

Your glance is dumb
And leaves me always in doubt
I never know if I got what you mean
Maybe now I am missing my big fortune
But eyes do lie and I will not believe
So I keep trusting in what you ever tell me
The sound is great, it needn’t to make sense

To die in winter
Is better than 
Living in spring 
Without a care
To die in winter is not so bad
As going alone in spring ahead
To die in winter
Let me explain
Brighter the sun
Bigger the vail
Brighter the sun
Bigger the vail

To Die In Winter

Asthmatic Harp (30/5/20)

Release date: 29 July 2020
Music: Asthmatic Harp
Words: Roma Havers

Lyrics: Limbo

This isn’t public art anymore,
This is intimacy made so you want to look away,
Unless you have the stomach for it.

I wanted to hold your hand 
but I was so far away, 
And I was distracted by the way your lower lip 
was surplus to your moon face: 
You articulate mime, 
must you pale that way 
like a slowly freezing pond?

And if this is a kind of ending let it be a kind one,
This terrible birthday present:
Just a small ruck of ice-shavings 
after ungrateful slice of blade,
gift wrapped in Mondays. 

I wanted to hold your hand 
but I was so far away, 
And I was distracted by the way your lower lip 
was surplus to your moon face: 
You articulate mime, 
must you pale that way 
like a slowly freezing pond?

I don't know if I believe my self anymore 
or if I even recognise my voice
When I replayed the tapes.

Take your time.
I don't want a thank you note. 

I wanted to hold your hand 
but I was so far away, 
And I was distracted by the way your lower lip 
was surplus to your moon face: 
You articulate mime, 
must you pale that way 
like a slowly freezing pond?

The problem of comfort and comforting 
is not what matters but how we make a mattering of it. 

I wanted to hold your hand 
but I was so far away, 
And I was distracted by the way your lower lip 
was surplus to your moon face: 
You articulate mime, 
must you pale that way 
like a slowly freezing pond?

ASTHMATIC HARP is the musical moniker of Oxford based songwriter and composer Hannah Fredsgaard-Jones. Through the ethereal autoharp, gentle guitar strumming, hushed and tumbling melodies, Asthmatic Harp is synonymous with a sound that manages to be comforting, folksy, eerie, and personal, all at once. 
Born in Denmark before moving to the UK, Hannah began performing on the London music scene with her debut EP in 2015. In 2018 she was handpicked to the prestigious Roundhouse Resident Artist Program. Asthmatic Harp has featured on Danish National Radio and the BBC (6 Music and Radio 3). She has supported Sam Palladio in the Roundhouse and Mary Lattimore during her recent European tour and played gigs across Europe and America, including a gig at the inaugural Kite Festival 2022. Her latest EP ‘Things We Learned To Live With’ was lauded as “a delightfully playful slice of alt-folk” receiving acclaim from blogs ‘For The Rabbits’, ‘Listen With Monger’ and ‘Bristol in Stereo’ and culminated in 21 virtual concerts, including a sold-out concert for Low-Fi Denmark, appearances at The Takeover Fest and at Southside Fringe.
