I’ve really enjoyed writing new music inspired by sleep & dreaming as part of The Moon Project album (led by Jessica Henderson of Arrow to the Knee Productions), a collaborative album by women composers across Scotland!

I was particularly inspired by REMS science and wanted to create a lush, orchestral, dreamy soundscape as an exploration of new sounds for sleep – and it was a glorious chance to once again work with the wonderful Emma Donald on violin too.

Supported by Creative Scotland’s Inclusion Fund, The Moon Project brings together six female composers from Scotland to produce a 9 track album – Jessica Henderson, Joanna Gill, Andrea Possee, Emily Frances Ippolito, Caragh, and Luci Holland.

Who can know the mind of our creator?
Who can speak of wonders yet unseen?
Who can reach the height of understanding?
To play the notes of Wisdom's melody?

Who has weighed the dust of every mountain?
Who has walked the mysteries of the deep?
Who has laid the earth on its foundation?
And who conducts the waves upon the sea?

I stand in awe of You
I stand in awe of You
So glorious and true
I stand in awe
I stand in awe

You have seen the end from the beginning
You have been before the world began
You have reached to me within my darkness
And in the light of mercy now I see

I stand in awe of You
I stand in awe of You
So glorious and true
I stand in awe
I stand in awe

I stand in awe of You
I stand in awe of You
So glorious and true
I stand in awe
I stand in awe

This is one of my expensive hobbies, you know you start something and you find you need deep pockets! :) Well I'm not doing anything with my music apart from making "tunes" and sharing with friends. I make no claims of grandeur but I hope you like my God focused music.
