I produced this using a free account on Soundation http://soundation.com/ 

I used the midi instruments and sound samples from the website, and the facilities to stretch, change pitch and reverse sounds.

I came across Soundation when doing the free Introduction to Digital Sound Design course on the https://www.coursera.org/ website.

Today In The Woods

The Bells

This is version of Look Up is choral version as sung by Park Life Singers in rehearsal - not quite a polished version yet. Words and music, including choral arrangement, by me; some suggestions, final details and choir direction by the choir's Musical Director, Charlotte Eaton.

LOOK UP

Bah ba ba bah...

Oh holiday!  
To country field.  
I’ve got away,  
Glee unconcealed.  

Oh sky and cloud!  
By shape and colour  
I’m struck and wowed,  
I’m joyed and fuller.  

Look up, look up, Look up, look up. 
Look up, look up, Look up, look up.
                     
The clouds are proud  
In tie-dyed skies,  
The colours loud 
Unfurl my eyes.  
       
Then I look up, 
And there’s the sky,  
It’s still tie-dyed,  
The sky’s still high. 

Look up, look up, Look up, look up.
Look up, look up, Look up, look up.

But then time is up,  
Time to go back.  
In plain streets  
I look down  
In defeat,  
Under a cloud.  
Back to mundane  
Insipid streets,  
To tepid pain,  
To vapid feats.  

Then I look up, 
And there’s the sky,  
It’s still tie-dyed,  
The sky’s still high. 

Look up, look up, Look up, look up.

The sky is the same everywhere.   
The same for everyone.  

The same everywhere.  
The same for everyone.   

Look up!  




Look Up - Choral, Park Life Singers

The situation described in this song occurred on 20th May 2014.

The song came to me all in one go. 

WAITING FOR THE RAIN

Weather's been hot.
Forecast is for rain.
I'm waiting for the rain,
      Waiting for the rain,
      Waiting for the rain to start
I'm waiting for the start.
                               Start of the rain.
                               Start of the rain.

The Entropy Of Windows Part 1

Wi Rieh (electronic Version)

Wi Rieh (loose vocal version)

Stair1c is Stair1b with added stereo effects

Stair1c

Stair2a is Stair2 with added stereo effects and slight re-edit

Stair2a

This is a simple vocal-only version. Over a year ago I was working on something instrumental, or some sort of vocal backing vocals, but did not get anything satisfactory, so here is the very simple version.

Leaving the Particular

This is a "field recording" highly edited in Audacity. Some of percussion and laughter on Stair1b by Ian Williams who happened to be passing at the time

Stair1b

This is a "field recording" highly edited in Audacity. A bit of synthesised organ added to this one.
