A gorgeous, melodic composition that skillfully employs minimal sounds and beats to enhance the experimental vocals/phrases, whispers, chants, lullabies, elvish murmurs, and fundamental sustained notes.

A song called 'YOU ARE . . . ' is the demo version and the final track will be finished soon. I wanted to share this with you all in its early stages.

You Are

Dive into the spellbinding universe of "MINIMA," a mesmerizing piano-driven composition that transcends the boundaries between elegance and enigma. At its core, a solitary piano weaves a haunting melody, each note echoing with the weight of untold stories. The piano becomes a narrator, guiding the listener through a dreamscape painted with nocturnal hues.

As the keys delicately dance, ethereal layers of ambient sounds emerge, casting a mysterious aura over the composition. These subtle textures, reminiscent of distant echoes and fleeting whispers, envelop the listener, inviting them to explore the twilight realms of imagination. The symbiotic relationship between the piano and ambient layers creates a sonic tapestry, rich in depth and emotional resonance.

In the latter part of the journey, "MINIMA" takes an unexpected turn as a synth takes center stage, a nod to the iconic soundscapes that Vince Clarke has masterfully woven into electronic music history. The synth sweeps in like a gust of wind, carrying the listener to new heights with its futuristic resonance. It's a crescendo that builds upon the established piano foundation, adding a contemporary edge to the timeless elegance of the composition.

Vince Clarke's influence is palpable in the intricate synth arrangements, creating a climactic finale that feels both nostalgic and groundbreaking. The amalgamation of classic piano, ambient layers, and the modern synth outro culminates in a musical experience that pays homage to the past while pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration.

"MINIMA" is more than a song; it's a journey through the landscapes of emotion, where the piano serves as the guide, ambient layers as the atmosphere, and the synth as the celestial culmination. It's a testament to the power of musical storytelling, weaving a narrative that unfolds like a vivid dream, leaving an indelible imprint on the listener's soul.

In the tapestry of "MINIMA," the timeless elegance of a piano meets the cutting-edge allure of synthesizers, creating a harmonious blend that transcends eras and genres, offering a glimpse into a world where the past and the future converge in a mesmerizing dance of sound and emotion.

For most of us, speaking fluently comes naturally. But if you have a stutter, getting the words out can be a real struggle. Some sounds are repeated or prolonged or a word gets stuck and doesn’t come out at all. At times it’s impossible even to say your own name or where you live, which can cause huge distress and embarrassment.

Stammering or stuttering (it’s the same thing) affects more than 70 million people globally – that’s about 1% of the world’s population. It’s a neurological condition, based on the brain’s wiring. But other factors, like genetics, also play a part. Becky Milligan examines why some people develop a stammer, what treatments are available and whether stammering can ever be cured.

Becky talks to Dr Deryk Beal from Holland Bloorview Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital, to find out how the brain of someone who stutters is different from someone with no stutter; she visits the Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children where 12 year-old Sam is getting treatment from speech therapist Kevin Fower; we hear from 22 year-old Rishabh Panchamia, who was so ashamed of his stammer he considered suicide. He’s now found fluency with the help of the McGuire programme. And Becky meets Betony Kelly who tells us that being open about having a stammer has helped her to accept and be proud of it as part of her identity.
