First ever piece with sung lyrics! What a great experience this was. When I created this song, I felt some parts needed singing. And I think the end result is wonderful.

TRAIL OF SUNSHINE
-----------------------------

Don't hate yourself
I know it's not easy
the things you've been through
broke that part of you

Somehow through time
as something unlikely
the arms of fate
unified our love


Together we climbed
the ladder of life
through all the hurdles
through all the battles

You've come so far
You've worked so hard
Be proud of who you are
Be proud of what you've done


When the bells of eternity
rings for you in the distance
you'll see what you have sown
a trail of sunshine touching everyone

CRAVINGS OF PEGASUS
The third album, October 2021
A journey between organic and artificial soundscapes,
between verbal and non verbal sounds, with mythological guides and impulsive language. 

“Pegasus is the body that does not follow words, it is the one who doesn’t need to behave, the one who plays hide and seek when you’re not able to fall asleep. It is the urge to speak another language.
It’s there. When you finally trust yourself and the world around you.
It’s that voice that asks you to play in the mud, 
to sing,
and just be. ”

Composed and recorded by Emma Grace
Mastered by Capitano Merletti at Studio Garp
Video by Furio Ganz
Released by Pipapop Records

This track is collaboration between Mr.Wang Shuang and me.

I provided him with my noise sound.
Then he analyzed my sound in frequency and replaced it with a sine wave to reconstruct it into a great song.
So this work is mostly due to his achievements.
When I listened to this work, I was delighted with his wonderful ability to compose music.
No way my noise sound is transformed (and can be) into such a cool piece!!
How do you feel when you hear this?

Stellium HEX ::  A3 - Midnight Hymn

A small excerpt from a recent Expanded Cinema project by Dani Kirby ( Keyboards/Voice) and Mat ward (Bass), presented Live at MONA FOMA festival 2021 in Hobart, Tasmania. 
Project Synopsis/Media release....

The Smiling Madame Beudet
Germain Dulac, 1923

Kirby/Ward present the the latest chapter in their ongoing investigation both the history of sound in the era of silent cinema and the pioneering role female artists played (most often overlooked) in the avant garde. They have written and will perform a new score for voice, piano and bass to accompany Germain Dulac’s ground breaking 1923 film The Smiling Madame Beudet.
The Smiling Madame Beudet is credited as the first Feminist movie. The protagonist Madame Beudet is trapped in a suffocating marriage with her only escape being music and the fantasy that she lives in a different world. Her husband is domineering, boorish and frequently pretends to shoot himself (sometimes in front of guests) to taunt and belittle her. Far from portraying Madame Beudet as a victim it casts her as a heroine who, rather than submitting to a life of cruelty, seeks to assert her desires and free herself from the bonds of domestic misogyny.
Dulac uses groundbreaking cinematic artistry to embellish and add detail to both the narrative and the investigation of sexism and gendered roles through techniques such as super-imposition, ultra contrasting of focus, slow-motion, repetition of shots, abstraction and extreme camera angles. These techniques powerfully enforce the Dulac’s desire to show both the oppressiveness of the situation and the absolute need for an imagining of a better life.
The compositional approach focuses on highlighting the sub-text and philosophical underpinnings of the film with emphasis on the meta-narrative behind the protoganist’s story - which is a timeless critique of marriage, gender and sexism. Cinematically this is expressed through Dulac’s focus on Madame Beduet’s internal world as she moves between the disparity of escapism and reality. It is her complex voice and thoughts, as a metaphor for the broader issues of the film that Kirby/Ward bring to life through a dynamic score that incorporates multiple genres ranging from ultra minimalist melody all the way to deafening sub-bass drone.
