These 4 pieces come together to make up a cycle 'deeper than all roses' commissioned by Ohio Northern University, USA.  The full piece is scored for symphony orchestra, choir, 4 vocal soloists and rock band.  This demo recording features the fabulous voices of Zoe Swindells and Aniko Toth, the searing guitars of Samuel Jones and Nicholas Rogers, the profound bass of Tom Miller and the beats of Benjamin Gow.  Me on laptop/synths.  All produced and mastered by the very talented Samuel Jones.
