02- Hello.mp3

Chapter 34 is an EP that uses several knew forms of 21st century collaboration.

"Circle of Breath" is the most straight-forward. I sang the tune and sent it to Phoebe so that she could learn it and sing it herself. She sent me back a file with just her voice that I could mix into the project. This our third song that we have released together. Phoebe lives in London. We have never met.
In "Sounds of New York" I am collaborating with Brian Foo, an Innovator in Residence at the Library of Congress. Brian created "Citizen DJ" specifically so that DJs and composers could access public domain audio recordings at the LOC and incorporate them into their recordings. In this example, I am also collaborating with Tony Schwartz, renowned audio documentarian. I have never met nor communicated with Brian Foo. Tony Schwartz died in 2008, 12 years before I ever heard of him.
The EP opens with "The Acid Test", which uses public domain audio (including a reading of "Chapter 34 The Acid Test" from Max Brand's The Night Horseman), and singing from a woman found on Splice. Splice is a service where artists can offer snippets of their work for other artists to use in any way (for a small fee). 

It was exciting to collaborate with other artists and writers through space and time in these new ways that other artists couldn't have imagined even one generation ago.

LYRICS:

You got everything you wanted now but
Does it feel how you thought it would feel 
Everything has lost colour somehow, yeah 
Now I’m starting to wonder what is real
I can't tell 
Yeah you’ve really got me starting to wonder (x2) 

Does it feel real
Colour somehow (x4) 

You got everything you wanted now but 
Now you’re onto the next best thing 
Everything is never quite enough
When you’re living in someone else's dream

It’s too late
Yeah you’ve really got me starting to wonder (x2)

Does it feel real, colour somehow (x4)

I love the way you look at me 
The taste of sweet uncertainty
And every time I cross the line 
My future self looks back and sighs 

Cover me in silver but I’m craving gold 
You got everything you wanted but the news is old 
It’s in my blood, it’s in my brain
Let the sun kiss my skin
While I’m dreaming of the rain 

Does it feel real
Colour somehow (x4)
