Out on Group Therapy Vol. 2 https://grouptherapycollective.bandcamp.com/album/group-therapy-vol-2

Riverbed

It's the half term school holidays in the UK this week, I'm sitting at home with two young kids and I read this email from Naviar for the Haiku challenge as it pops into my inbox.  I love the image this haiku creates. Outside my window at home we have tree branches that are winter bare. I was filming these the other day for another project. 
I had an idea for the music straight away - a 'bare' sort of sound to reflect the image of branches.  I started on this straight away. The kids are happy playing so I progressed and made this in about 2 hours. 

Birds in a bare tree
Dance on windswept branches
Their waiting ballet…

John Hinks, aka FlownBlue, is a prolific and talented composer, and a regular participant in the Haiku challenge. Aside from his solo project, John is also involved in three improvising duos: ‘Windfall Light‘ (with Jim Tetlow), ‘Abstract Blue‘ (with Kevin Buckland) and ‘Light Fragments‘ (with Steve Escott).

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Bitten By A Monkey - Sonata »La Follia« (Corelli)

The Unreliable Witnesses are a strange covers band. The lyrics are recited and the music is improvised. The musicians have no idea what lyrics the vocalist will recite until they are on stage. No song is ever played twice - even a soundcheck song never makes it to the main set, The recordings (always live - no studio - no rehearsals) are for free - no money is made. Who would buy these anyway LOL! Love Grant Bale, Miss de Meaner, Barry Stir..... - and special guest Grant Bale Senior - any mention of similarities to Lee McFadden, Marina Young, Cos Chapman - and special guest John Plant - will be met with hostile glares and a rebuke of "FAKE NEWS"
