Cover with Andrew Binns (
Re-recorded and re-uploaded -- I listened to the original that was uploaded here, as did Andrew, and neither of us were happy with the quality; we knew we could do better. So, we decided to re-record our parts and upload the finished piece again.

This was stilll recorded remotely, from our own homes -- though lockdown seems far longer than forever <--- had to be done! ---> We shall meet up again soon, my friend! <3

Marble Halls {I dreamt I dwelt in...}

Lark in the Clear Air

From the Broadway version of Disney's Tarzan. 

This is from the first act: 
when Kala, a female gorilla who has a baby of her own, finds a little creature who needs her just as desperately as she needs someone to protect and care for deeply. 

Disclaimer: I do NOT work for Disney, I do NOT own the copyright in any form, I did NOT make any money while recording this, nor do I intend to sell it for profit - In short, this is a COVER and I am simply a fan. :)

I hope you enjoy this. :) 

You'll be in my Heart

~ Original improv a cappella piece ~

"Sometimes I sing and the words just come... 
From a distance memory, repressed? 
A song, long forgotten, from childhood? 
A past life? 
Innate wisdom, deep within? 

Or maybe... just maybe...
I sing nonsense for fun" 

~ Jocasta (yes, I'm quoting myself.) 

My second rough-and-raw a cappella recording; greatly influance/inspired by old tribal music. (I love it!) 

I like to imagine this one as a 'call-and-response' -- 

'I sit alone, in a cave, talking to the walls... in my wait for intelligent conversation, who should call back to me... but, myself.' -- bonus poem, again, by me (just wrote it.)

Ko'wai'ya

~ Original improv a cappella piece ~ 

"As I walk in midnight, I sing a song, most sweet...
I call out to ones with whom I call my home...
I'm calling in the pack."


A Cappella improv; ALL sound you hear, are me: Melody, bass and soprano "howls" -- yes, that's me doing the howls. 
No auto-tune, just voice (and reverb. Reverb is great. :))

Calling in the Pack

Have you ever heard the song of the morning? When all is quiet? 

The birds sing their chorus, before the dawn's first light... and that first ray of the sun breaks through, like the sheer glory of hope itself -- the chilling beginning of an anthem that tells us all: 'You are not done! All is not lost! All is just beginning...'
I once heard it... I let it sing through me... 

Only to forget what the words were...
But I always remember, how they made me feel.

-------------------------------------------
{For those who maybe be curious, 
the words:
"Come... Come... Come and sing!
Can you hear the dawn breaking?
Oooh, as the light dance, with lovely song, it sings!
Over the hills, it lies!
Do you hear the rhythem in the air?
Come away and sing, with the sun!
Come, come away and sing -- come, come!
Hear the light as it breaks -- the day is here!
It's singing: Glory, life! Come, and sing with us!'"
----------------------------------------------

I had to go back and listen to what I had original sang -- I kidd you not, I couldn't remember the words! (well, a little bit.)

~ IMPROV a cappella song -- no auto-tune, just me. (and my good ol' friend, reverb!) 
P.S: All these songs I've done were recorded through Audacity.
I hope you enjoy

Song of the morning

~ New original piece ~
"Tu...Tu... 'Tu-lay-ah' -- where did this word come from? 

I sing for joy... I sing of nothing and nonsense... and then I think you... You... Tu... Tu... and sing, 'Tulaia.'

My spirit guides, I reach my soul to you, I open my mind -- let inspiration come! -- still I sing, 'Tulaia.'
What is this word? What does it mean? What does it sing of -- Of joy? Of love? Of life? 

Still, I sing, 'Tulaia.' "


Improv a cappella song -- no-auto tune, no instruments, just me and my voice (and my good ol' friend, reverb!) All recorded on Audacity.
When singing this song, I just sang the first thing that came to mind -- Tu (French personal for 'you') and rest, followed.


When listening back to this, it was driving me crazy -- where did this word come from? Did it mean anything? So, I searched and though I didn't find a match for the spelling, I did find this -- {https://tulayawellness.com/} -- a wellness company that got its name from combining two words: Tula (balance) and laya (oneness of the mind)... needless to say, my songs are inspired by a feeling of spiritualality, but this was a little spooky... 

Still, I decided to keep the spelling that came to my mind and not 'piggy-back' on their -- goes without saying, but this song is not sponsered by them.
