16 - Such A Grey Day

Composed, performed and mixed by Megan Jennifer Lewis
Mastered by Chris Adams

Big questions have been on my mind recently.  I have been giving thought to what may lie beyond myself, creation, the possibility of eternal life.  I have been questioning, reading, seeking.  This piece of music has been borne from this state of mind and I am so pleased that it has emerged sounding so joyful.  It is both a realisation and a proclamation of belief.  I didn’t know what to expect when I started.  It came From the Blue.

Thanks as always to Chris Adams for mastering this piece, your love and support along the way and for opening my mind to possibilities that I would not have otherwise imagined.

From the Blue

Perhaps geological, perhaps emotional. Inspired by an interesting drive up and then down Mount Hiei, with a few emergency photo stops on the way down.

All made with Arturia Analog Lab and Pigments in Ableton.

HAIKU MUSIC CHALLENGE

autumn wind...
I am stringing

Kyorai was a Japanese haiku poet who first trained as a martial artist before he started writing and became one of Basho’s first disciples.

This is one of Kyorai's most famous poem, and one that Natsume Sōseki used as an example of great haiku poetry when teaching at a high school in Kumamoto.
