This instrumental track was composed as part of my "Clutha Project"  series where I use memories of my childhood and family connections in the   area of the River Clyde as the basis for the composition.

As a young boy I lived in a house where the fence at the bottom of our garden was the perimeter fence of a sprawling factory complex in the Clyde Valley that made explosives for the Ministry of Defence. There were cooling towers and tall chimneys scattered across it and these used to churn out huge columns of steam and smoke so big that I thought it was these that were creating the clouds and the weather. I spent hours of my childhood watching these form and rise into the real clouds.

Later, as a young man, I lived in a village that faced south across the Clyde estuary and out to sea. Most of our weather came in from that direction. You could see it advancing up the Firth of Clyde and, with experience, you could work out if you had enough time to get to the shops without getting a good soaking from the next rain storm.  The weather was immensely changeable there. No sooner had one weather front passed by then the next one would be rolling in from the sea. The pocket-sized folding plastic mackintosh was in frequent use in those days.

I have created a video to go with this, which can be found at:
