For my first participation to the Disquiet Junto Project, I chose the theme of the lullaby because it' s a genre that I am passionate about and that I have already worked on in the past.
The melody I used as a guideline comes from a very old Welsh lullaby called Peis Dinogat (Dinogad's Smock). It appears in a 13th century manuscript but was probably composed some century earlier. The lyrics, which I have deliberately left out in order to turn it into an instrumental piece, tell of a father's exploits on the hunt, perhaps in the mode of lament. Among the list of animals, there is mention of a place, Derwennydd Falls, whose precise location is open to speculation.
To fit the lullaby genre, I have kept the melody in all its beauty and simplicity by repeating it from beginning to end. The use of panning is also there to suggest the pendulum movement.
Enjoy your listening!

Glamourie is an unusual word for ‘enchantment’ but also the electro-acoustic project by Merle Bardenoir who actualises this meaning through otherworldly soundscapes.
