Here is a scrapbook/selection of tunes I've created/co-created, that I’m fond of, in no particular order.

Singing. composing and arranging.  Demos, sessions etc... Various styles & genres. Some mastered and broadcast quality, some scrappy but heartfelt.

The playlist includes my own, very personal composition "Whyla An Mor", inspired by the tragic loss of our Cornish friends at sea, with improvised harmonies in Cornish.

Collaborations with my brilliant cousin, Rick Williams,  of Cornish ensembles, Bagas Degol/Boilerhouse (Sarah Jane, Zela, Photograph & Seasons in Cornwall) recorded remotely.

Commercial work for De Wolf and Sony.
Rehearsal sessions at the Venice Conservatorio with two talented accompanists
Recordings to backing tracks as teach tapes for my students.
Some just for fun.

Sung by Heather Maîr Thomas

I wrote this haunting folk song, (or it seemed to write itself), inspired by the tragic loss of our dear friends at sea. 
I sang a-capella and improvised harmonies in Kernewek (Cornish language). 
Recorded on an old analogue 4 track tape portastudio.

Whyla An Mor  (I search in the Sea)

Songwriter collaboration.
Lyrics and vocal by Heather.

I Reach For You.

 Beautiful a-capella female voice, Cornish language  harmonies, mournful song of loss and longing, of love lost to the sea. Atmospheric and emotional.

A varied selection of tunes I've been enjoying singing. Demos, sessions etc...

Tribal (World)

Ave Maria

"Photograph" is a poem by the late Cornish poet, Charles Causley, set to music by my cousin Rick Williams of Bagas Degol. Recorded 300 miles apart.
The text describes an old photograph of the poet's Cornish Grandmother and is utterly gorgeous.

"She walks among time-beaten stones, one hand upon the rood-beam stair
that rises out of sticks and grass, into the nothingness of air
Here, where the Abbey's great ship struck and bramble bushes curve and sprout
She stands her granite-sprinkled ground
and stares the Speering Camera out...."

Santianna - (Sea Shanty)

Cornish, award-winning crossover (classical/folk/jazz) vocalist. 
Fellow of Trinity College of music, London.

Singer, songwriter, voiceover/actor and  holistic vocal coach. Director of the Voice Club vocal workshops.

The tracks and playlists here are a scrapbook of tracks recorded  over time in various locations, including  the Angel Studios, Islington, my kitchen in north London,  a bathroom in Brixton,  random places in Cornwall and at the Conservatorio di Musica in Venice.
I am particularly fond of my remote collaborations with my cousin Rick Williams  who composes/arranges settings of poetry by Cornish poet, Charles Causley, as well as our remote harmonising during lockdown of "Calm is the Sea" which still brings a tear to the eye.

I am always keen to collaborate with musicians and singers on projects that are interesting and fun.
