In 2020, I composed an art song for a soprano singer and four classical guitars called 'Give Yourself to the Night'. 

I wrote this piece as a prayer to the sunken pantheon of dark gods who have been mistaken for devils. In this piece, the singer serves as their priestess… by beckoning the listener into the black ocean of their own mind.

You see; the mind is so unfathomably vast, that we humans often struggle to bear the burden of having one.

To cope with this, we create egos—simplified ideas of ourselves that are easier to deal with. But just like lighting a candle creates a shadow, our egos hide the rejected parts of us in the dark. 

When we ignore these shadows, we lose touch with our true selves and are mentally imprisoned by false and limited self-images.

So then, what does it mean to"Give Yourself to the Night"? It means to shine the light of your attention on the darkness of your own inner world… It means to valiantly continue the lifelong journey of self-discovery, so you may be liberated from your mental prison by the truth of your authentic self. 

(Thank you to the incredibly talented and hard-working Brea Holland for bringing my words and music to life with her mesmerising performance on this recording! Also thank you to my lovely partner kRZπ for drawing all the art that I would digitally remix for the album art 💛🖤)

"I Want Magic!" from A Streetcar Named Desire

Glastonbury's first Death & Dying Festival, 2-4 November 2018.

Charlotte Church sings classical soprano with an orchestra for the first time in 16 years - since she was 16 - and was "unbelievably nervous".

Within the Death & Dying Festival, organised by Henrietta Lange, and with an orchestra conducted by Charles Hazlewood, Charlotte Church performed the Gorecki Symphony of Sorrowful Songs at St John's Church in Glastonbury on Saturday evening (3 November 2018). 

Paul Lund spoke to her afterwards about her performance and other interests.

WELCOME TO GLASTONBURY UK - at the HEART of SOMERSET's MAGIC... where you can listen to a wide selection of interviews, reports, sounds and musical features from Glastonbury town and local areas, in the beautiful county of Somerset, England                                    ♥

These recordings were made for radio broadcast, podcasts and this online profile. They represent a cross-section of our community and its events and entertainments, here in our wonderful town and its beautiful green and pleasant surroundings. "Glastonbury always has something going on," say the folks who live here! It must be the top local town for the highest number of entertainment, culture and live music events. happening at any time. 

Glastonbury, or Ynys Witrin as it was known in very early times, was also said to be the Isle of Glass, now better known as the Ancient Isle of Avalon, meaning Isle of Apples. Apple trees and apple orchards are found throughout Somerset, but here in Glastonbury, they hold very special significance because of their history, myth and magic. 

The monks at Glastonbury Abbey claimed to have found the remains of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere within their sanctum. Joseph of Arimathea was said to have brought Jesus here and later the Holy Grail cup, and his walking staff which grew into the Holy Thorn.  Such stories are now legends which bring many pilgrims, seekers of the spirits and explorers of many faiths and of wisdom to the town each year. 

Glastonbury is located in the middle of Somerset, and some call it the county's Green Heart, whilst others say it is the Heart Chakra of the world. Glastonbury Tor was depicted in the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The hymn, 'Jerusalem', from William Blake's poem, was said to have been inspired by the legends of Glastonbury and England's green and pleasant land which surrounds. The Tor with the mighty St Michael's tower on top is our most famous landmark, seen from miles around.

Attractions include the ruins of the once great Abbey; the Tor and St Michael's tower; spiritual and healing connections around Chalice Well; Leylines and earth magic; the Levels and landscape; plus the very unique shopping experience with the town's large number of independent shops or businesses - dedicated to giving customers quality and best service. Our community love and togetherness makes us different to most other towns.  

One event which is known worldwide is, of course, the Glastonbury Festival. 
This three-day musical spectacular is held most years at the end of June, but is NOT in Glastonbury itself - but some 8 miles away in the village of Pilton at Worthy Farm.

Glastonbury's location (now part of the Somerset Levels) once made this hill side community an island, surrounded by water. Boats would have been used to travel to and from nearby settlements.

We hope these recordings will initiate the start of an online Glastonbury Media Bank that will archive and keep a record of Glastonbury in sound, pictures and film for posterity, research, teaching and future generations.

To correspond with Glastonbury UK producers, or offer your help and support, write to glastonburysoundarchive@gmail.com 

If you've never been to see us here in the Ancient Isle of Avalon then a very warm welcome awaits you! Glastonbury has so many places to see and events to watch and entertain you - we can promise you a wonderful and fun packed time when you embrace our community.  

Come and see us real soon.

Hey, friends! I’m Gio Ra, an experimental composer, digi-punk producer, singer/rapper and multimedia artist whose work explores what it means to be a spiritual being in a digital world.

I like to stay curious, so my works are a kaleidoscope of styles and influences. While each piece may sound different, they all blend today’s digital aesthetics with a timeless spiritual essence.

Through meditation and seeking truth, I find my inspiration in my own inner world. However, l am also inspired by the world around us—drawing equally from the natural majesty of our planet and the chaotic beauty of the post-modern digital age we find ourselves in.

At my core, I believe that what’s best for oneself is also what is best for the world. So, by sharing my music and art with the world, I hope that it resonates wherever it is needed. May all beings be happy!
