Beautiful composition and track! I enjoyed reading the description, too. Very interesting!

A beautiful Celtic passage featuring the Bouzouki here.  Lovely arrangement Pete, from start to finish.  You have captured the sweet essence of land and sea.

This is a very well done track. Listening to the layers and sounds. Beautiful.

A masterfully orchestrated and most contemplative piece Pete…fine pairing with my morning cuppa:)

A lovely nostalgic piece, Pete!   Wonderful orchestration!

I know the landscape, so this feels like the perfect accompaniment. Thanks for sharing

With a world in turmoil, love is still the supreme binding force that keeps our hearts united.  Seagull created a dynamic and theatrical piece focusing on love primarily within a family, but is easily projected outward to the larger family of fellow countrymen, and ultimately to a family of nations, but it first begins in the nuclear family, "our capital of the future".
It's always an honor to contribute to Seagull's vision with all the playing ability I possess.  Hear more of his finely crafted music @farout-music-studio.

Porgi, amor

C'est parce que c'est vraiment maintenant que l'Ukraine est en danger qu'il ne faut surtout pas l'oublier! Alors j'ai remixé  pour elle cette chanson  de 2023
PAROLES
Dans tes yeux ce matin
Le ciel était si clair
 On aurait dit
 La mer
Dans tes yeux ce matin
Le bleu virait au vert
 On aurait dit
La mer

Mais le cœur n’y est plus
Le ciel a disparu
On n’entend 
Que des bombes
Le ciel a disparu
 Pourtant on y a cru
 A la paix
 Dans le monde

Il faut y croire pourtant
 Aux graines du printemps
 Au joli mois de mai
 A l’Ukraine triomphant
Au soleil se levant
 Ton sourire retrouvé
 Au soleil couchant
 Ton visage adoré

Alors ce matin-là
Dans tes yeux chocolat
La Mer Noire rougira
 De leurs vies libérées
Dans tes yeux ce matin
 Le ciel était si clair
 Qu’on aurait dit
 La mer
________________________________________________________________________
In your eyes this morning
The sky was so clear
 It looked like
 The sea
In your eyes this morning
Blue turned green
 It looked like
The sea

But the heart is no longer there
The sky is gone
We don't hear 
Only bombs
The sky is gone
 Yet we believed in it
 To peace
 Worldwide

However, we must believe in it
 Spring seeds
 In the beautiful month of May
 To the triumphant Ukraine
In the rising sun
 Your smile regained
 At sunset
 Your beloved face

So that morning
In your chocolate eyes
The Black Sea will blush
 From their liberated lives
In your eyes this morning
 The sky will be so clear
 What it looked like
 The sea


on aurait dit la mer

Inspired by a recent visit to the beautiful Westonbirt Arbouretum.

Part of Everything

We had some fun didn't we
And when it is done and we are all beneath the trees

The sunlight will shine
And the rain will fall
and we'll still be a part
of everything after all

We were small and simple
We were tall and dimpled
We were mixed and mingled
We were love's true symbol

Part of Everything

RIP Dan Guimond.  Our friend, supporter and inspiration.  A tribute by Imre Lodbrog,  Andrew Doyle, Dom LeBars & Barbara Browning.  Thank you all.  We miss you.

Y’A COMME UN TROU DANS L’AIR

OH WE MISS YOU DAN
WE MISS YOU
YEAH WE MISS YOU MAN

On Lindisfarne, there is a ridge of land called 'The Heugh' made out of unyielding igneous rock. It is not particularly high but from this viewpoint you can see the Castle, the Abbey, St Cuthbert's Island, in fact most of the sights of the otherwise flat Lindisfarne. The old coastguard station is now an observation platform. I wanted to use this piece to describe the view as experienced by a modern tourist but also give a reflective nod to the old herring and general fishing industry of the past.

This is an interesting link all about it

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

Instrumentation

The High on the Heugh instrumental feature strings, cello, alto flute, high whistle, harp, bouzouki, concertina, choir, bodhrán and water pumpkins.

Background

I wanted to start this piece with an ascent section so it includes a climbing motif that leads the listener up to the top of the Heugh. There they can reflect on the view of St Cuthbert's Island etc.

The next section introduces the idea of starting to think about the vanished fishing industry so I used the concertina, an instrument often used by sailors, to start painting this picture. It also adds in the bouzouki supporting the harp and supported by various strings.

Then it's into a hornpipe section and and it's a much more lively section as the listeners imagination takes free reign and features a bouzouki solo. It builds to a climax before the final melancholic reprise. This final reprise reflects on a lost time as it guides the listener back to the present day.
