This is a variation on my other improvised sets, in that at least 95% or all of the music is created using generative techniques.

The second song from the cycle Watching the Perseids is Cat's Cradle, an elegy for a much-loved pet. The poem is by Peter Scupham:

A cradle made of string
   For hands to ply and plait,
Teasing a see-saw thread
   For one old journeying cat.

We swung him down the night,
   Mewed in his wicker ark;
His dancing eyes lit up
   The soundless dews and dark.

Summers of goose-grass led
   Down paths we had not made
To nests of tabby gloom,
   Soft play of sun and shade.

Long absence held our breath;
   The house grew wide and bare
Until he called us home.
   I cut out of cold air

   His face with its sharp loook,
His fur grown stray and dim-
   For these long miles of sleep,
Let the earth cradle him.

Cat's Cradle

Just something I did free form.  Hope you like it.

Just Something Small And New

Music duo, Cardboard Carousel (Richard and Calliopi Dawson), creates a unique indie/folk sound centered on hauntingly beautiful harmonies. Their arrangements span from moving ballads like "It's enough" to exuberant anthems such as "In the Burning Sun". 

"Soothing folk performed with remarkable grace by a multi-tasking guitarist and elegantly in-control double bassist. I loved – loved – the vocal interplay these guys work seamlessly into their songs. Consistently pitch-perfect and clearly the result of untold hours of rigorously disciplined practice, it really blew me away." - The Musical Melting Pot
