Bjorgo & Reistad - Ludvig in my Backpack from the new CD "Huskelappen/The reminder note" by the Norwegian duo Bjorgo&Reistad.

Ingunn Bjorgo (diatonic accordion) and Asmund Reistad (guitars/loops) have developed their musical signature and style over a long-lasting partnership. Ingunn writes the songs and Asmund then arranges them. Their point of departure and inspiration is Norwegian, Swedish and Celtic folk music and the songs are carried on the wings of the small yet powerful 2-rowed button accordion (squeezebox). The duo’s unique musical sound is formed in the place of union where “squeezebox” meets guitar, baritone guitar, loops and effects.

Ludvig in my Backpack - Med Ludvig i sekken
As Ludvig said, “That could be dangerous”  So, this is a little song of comfort for a doubting soul, who lives with a Ludvig in his or her (mental) backpack.

Bjørgo&Reistad - Ludvig in my backpack/Med Ludvig i sekken

My first attempt at a Scandinavian inspired a cappella version of a Cornish tune! Now need some singers to sing and experiment with!

Cornish Tune Scandi Voice

This is a live recording of a song I completed for a university assessment in December 2015. The subject comes straight from my heart; I have struggled, as many do, to feel truly wanted, or to have found a place where, or group of people with whom, I feel I can really be myself. Much of this stems from being adopted and there is already plenty written about this so I shall not elaborate here. The tune and harmonies are all written by me and were scored in Sibelius at the time of writing. Copyright of the music, lyrics and sound recording belong solely to me. 
My thanks go to Anna Stokes and Pearl Love who accompanied me for this live performance from January 2016.

The Crooked King

Here is a small piece that I worked on as part of researching into library music for my 3rd year module. I'm currently in the process of learning to use a more advanced software so this was created with basic Logic sounds, however I'm happy what I ended up with and pleased that I branched out a bit from the sound I normally create! (It does get a little loud towards the end.. so turn down the volume if listening through headphones!)

WILD

The Holy Well was collected in Camborne in 1913 and adapted by Neil, about a hundred years later, into a hanter jowster.  Neil named the second tune after his Aunty Elsie’s harmonium, which he and his brother Kyt loved to play as small boys  when visiting her on the way home from school in Newquay, about a hundred years ago!

Gracey Briney. A stripped back double bass & vocal version of a song I wrote about an extraordinary local character. Here's a summary of her story: https://moreteawithlizzie.wordpress.com/2016/09/27/gracey-briney/

Lyrics:
There was a maid who lived in Redruth in her youth
Until long in the tooth
The neighbours found her rather uncouth
And they called her Gracey Briney

Her hobnail boots and elegant dress cut a dash
With an air of panache
She wore a top hat and a moustache
And they called her Gracey Briney

She fought and she wrestled and drank with the boys
Holding her own in the hubbub and noise
Smoking a pipe with incredible poise
They called her Gracey Briney

A workhouse girl, young Gracey was sent to the mine
And before she was nine
She’d learnt to keep the horses in line
Raising kibble from the mine shaft

A pregnancy, a change of perspective, the sound
Of a girl underground
Where women’s work had never been found
Raising kibble from the mine shaft

She fought and she wrestled…
