Takes the tune of the classic song Yellow Bird, adds a countermelody and some amusing drums. &nbsp;The EQ is all wrong, but it's from three years ago so I'm not going back and trying to fix it...



Yellow Bird

Remix of a False Alarm song, Perpetual War.

Perpetual Walk (takkaria remix)

Tribute 270347

I write this at a composition retreat in 2005, supposedly about the life-cycle of a human; it's more of a series of vignettes than anything through-composed.  I think it's wildly optimistic about what happens after school, but I was 16 at the time... This is a recording of its performance at the Sage Gateshead (get me).

Some of this makes me cringe now.  I have to have write that because it means that if you cringe when listening to it then I'm in on the joke.  Its redeeming qualities are the counterpoint, and I'm still quite proud of the reworking of thematic material throughout the piece.
