Standing In Silence - Part 3

Bathe

This is music for the Winter's Solstice. The melody is simple and carol-like, and lends itself to four-part harmony.
It celebrates the time of year when the darkest days are finished, and each day there is a little more sunlight, and the first shoots of spring start to push through the ice. Of course, this is metaphorical. I recently experienced a "cellular" memory of a time in childhood when I decided that I had to be self-sufficient, because there was no one there to turn to.
Unknowingly, this was a hardening of the heart, that resisted the pain, but also restricted my ability to be emotionally responsive and warm. Just like so many men of my culture and generation, I grew into a man who had limitations in his ability to love (symptoms included spending way too long in your own bubble, whether it be making music, sport and fitness, gaming, gambling or numbing in front of the screen). That was the freezing. 
Now in my autumn years, I feel so much light has returned to my heart, and a simple life is increasingly punctuated by spaces of wonderment and gratitude. This is the thawing.

P.S. I attempted this melody a year or so ago under the title "For Too Long Have I Wandered". This iteration represents progress from there, both as a musician and, I hope, a human being.

Night-time adventure edges over the horizon, the twinkling lights of a distant ferris wheel promise exhilaration and excitement, the city stretches out chaotic light trail patterns in fluorescent twilight dusk; motes of dust refracting glorious shades of vermillion across the changing night sky. The rich aural tapestry of sound in constant motion sees broken beats and rhythmic patterns shape sonic architecture as the jagged skyline motifs standing out against yielding aural textures. Overheard fragments of conversation create their own melodic flow in summer’s café culture; repetitive strains stutter and stretch in innovative and unexpected direction as the unknown quantity of a sprawling metropolis breathes into life via a voyage of invention.

His 2013 release Stories From Elsewhere has received much praise; renowned US reviewer John Diliberto (Echoes) calling it “a modern ambient chamber music masterpiece of quietly epic dimensions". His 2018 album, A Quiet Divide, is his most orchestral album to date, merging chamber strings & piano, with emotionally charged cinematic post-rock atmospheres. Releasing the album alongside a 6 date audiovisual live tour around New Zealand, the album reached no.2 on the NZ Top 20.
"A Quiet Divide is an album that swallows you whole, and sends you out the other side a lighter, calmer version of yourself." - Sunday Star Times
His work as a screen composer is diverse, actively writing scores for a wide variety of film, television, documentary, advertising, multi-media exhibits, and 360o Fulldome Planetarium dome show projects around the world, having worked on projects featuring luminaries Andy Serkis, David Tennant, Tim Allen, Martin Scorsese, Rupert Grint, and Jared Leto.

Sheehan has composed music for various multimedia installations and exhibits around the world, including UK's National Space Centre, The Kennedy Space Center, London’s Natural History Museum, Ferrari World, World of WearableArt, and Weta Workshop. His score for the 12-part prime-time series The Cult won him a Qantas Film & TV Award (Best original music in a TV series), and he also wrote the score for the Emmy Award winning series Reservoir Hill. Sheehan’s music was used extensively during NBC’s prime-time coverage of the 2012 London Olympics, and he has written music featured in a variety of commercials, including spots for Google, Nike, GoPro, American Express, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Facebook.
