From the 5 Melodies populaires grecques by Maurice Ravel featuring Paul Hankinson (piano.) From my previous life studying classical voice at the Queensland Conservatorium with Prof. Janet Delpratt. 

Chanse des cueilleuses de lentisques - Ravel

My best friend Paul Hankinson wrote this song. We met when we were both studying classical music in Brisbane Australia, me classical voice and he piano, and we started working together geeking out about art song and lieder and chamber music and just life in general. Years later he moved to Berlin, and I followed him there. These days he's my nextdoor neighbour and without doubt one of the most brilliant, freakish, other-worldly musicians I know, and this song is one of those times where I just have no idea how the hell he does it. 

Sometimes people complain they can't hear my voice through all the electronic production, so here is a song where it's just voice and piano - except in true Paul Hankinson style there is 4 separate piano parts intertwined together.
