I always apprechiate the sound of vintage synths :)

Very dramatic and cinematic - excellent orchestration.

Oh nice I like the moogy synth with neck pickup guitar over it.

Brutalist 1960s iconic 'streets in the sky' complex - Park Hill Flats gained listed (protected) status and has been (and is still being) renovated (and sold). 
Many memories of the early post-slum clearance days must resonate with its previous residents who were moved out to 
make way for the developers.....

Track details.
Soprano saxophone duet augmented by bass-pedal flute and clarinet, found beats and bass with some electronics, flute and clarinet snippets.

Many thanks to Timothy McGuire for adding his beautiful orchestration (and a bit of magic!) to my "Traveling Light" piano composition. This is our second collaboration and it was a pleasure to work with Timothy again!

This track is dedicated to the memory of Chris A and the time that was 'Elidor'. "I hope you are flying somewhere with that big grin on your face"

This track was very much a collision of ideas. I wanted to follow on from The North Shore and actually take the listener into the air to experience the feeling and freedom of flying like a bird. Additionally the track title "Flight of Fancy" was the title of an original instrumental played by a band I was in in the early 80's. The keyboard player in that band is sadly no longer with us, so I decided to try and reinvent the spirit of that time as a musical tribute to Chris.

Enjoy your Flight of Fancy :-)

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Background

This track seemed to naturally evolve into three discrete sections with a different musical flavour to each part.

(i) Sunrise (0:00 - 0:58)
As the title suggests, it is my musical imagining of sunrise on the beach with all the grandeur of a new day dawning. A big orchestral sound and timpani seemed the way to go.

(ii) The Shoreline At Dawn (0:59 - 2:28)
Part Two has a much more muted sound as nature begins to stir with the dawn and musically this part acts as a linking section between parts one and three.

(iii) Into The Air (2:29 - 6:42)
Finally we are into the air and I wanted to give a feeling of flying by the use of rising chords sequences and a string ostinato (a recurring rhythmic or melodic pattern). I also wanted to give a nod to the original Flight of Fancy so it has a variation of the main guitar riff I played back in the early 80's, some interwoven guitar and keyboard parts and harmony with underlying jazzy drum and bass parts.
