A setting of Percy Bysshe Shelley's beautiful poem performed by the Cape Town Pops Orchestra led by Lucia Di Blasio Scott and sung by Amy Walton.  This was recorded with Cinemagic Scoring (www.cinemagicscoring.com) at Milestone Studios in Cape Town and mixed and mastered by Murray Anderson.  My grateful thanks to all involved.

I composed this as a tribute to my late mentor: Mr. Gerry Bosman who guided me when I was a fledgling musician and gave me the confidence to believe in myself.  Thank you Gerry!!!!

Music, When Soft Voices Die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory;
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heap'd for the belovèd's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

Music, When Soft Voices Die: CT Pops & Amy Walton

Kitchen (feat. James Mercer)

How can we resist exploitation when our boss has been replaced by a computer? That's the premise of Cyberboss, a new book by Craig Gent, North of England editor for Novara Media, explaining how "algorithmic management" is being tested on Amazon packers, Deliveroo drivers and supermarket shoppers. 

He talks to NM's head of audio Chal Ravens about the strange forms of resistance that emerge when even your boss has no idea how the system actually works. Cyberboss: The Rise of Algorithmic Management and the New Struggle for Control at Work is available now through <a href="https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/2958-cyberboss">Verso Books</a>.

Lyrics:
If you're looking for some blind affection, 
baby you can look to me 
Ask me questions and I be deflecting
Ain't got time for history

This ain't no job interview baby, 
don't ask background. 
Build walls for days up on the daily,
no time to breakdown.

I don't like the feels
No I don't like to feel emotion
Ain't got time to heal
Numb me down like ibuprofen (x3)
I don't like the feels
No I don't like to feel emotion

My energy's what I'm protecting 
Won't let u inside
Invading me like an infection
Ain't got time to testify 

This ain't no job interview baby, 
don't ask background 
Build walls for days up on the daily,
no time to breakdown

I don't like the feels
No I don't like to feel emotion
Ain't got time to heal
Numb me down like ibuprofen (x3)
I don't like the feels
No I don't like to feel emotion

You say I never show affection
Explains why your mood is always so passive aggressive
Can feel the anesthetics when I'm in your presence
The perfect prescription much more than synthetic
My soul is such a fortress I hope you can manage
And I don't like the feels, all emotions have vanished
The deeper that you dig my core prone for damage
You seem to seize the time with questions I could never answer

Why you always asking for more?
Surface ain't enough for you?
Why you wanting my core?
(repeat)

Sakawa Boys are an all-male pop group from Cape Town, South Africa. They are influenced by shoegazing and many other forms of modern alternative music. You will find them complicated, in each and every case. They cry more often than most men, and share very close friendships with one another.
